Depending on the wax you're using, you may have a bit of shrinkage on the top of the candle. You can either do a repour with a bit of the leftover wax, or you can top it off with a heat gun. The heat gun works if there's only minor shrinkage - it the top of the candle is significantly warped, do a repour.
