Make sure that your bowl and wisk are grease-free before adding the egg-white. And make sure that not even een little bit of the yoke gets in the egg whites.

The fat prevents the egg whites from stiffening when mixing.

What happens if you dont Sift the flour in macarons?

When you don't sift your almond flour for your macarons, the shell will be lumpy and will not turn out. The shell needs to be perfectly smooth, and melts in your mouth when you take that first bite. When baking macarons, the almond flour is crumbly and clumpy.

Should egg whites be room temperature when making macarons?

Cold eggs separate better but room temperature eggs whip up better. Separate the eggs then keep at room temperature until ready to whisk.

How do I fix runny macaron batter?

If you find that your batter is already over mixed and unsalvageable, pipe them onto parchment paper instead. It will develop on the parchment paper but it will be runny and therefore, not round. A little more heat during baking helps fix this already broken batter.
