The variety of Lie algebra structures \(\mathcal L_n\) over a field \(K\) is the set of all possible Lie brackets on the vector space \(K^n\). It can be viewed as a closed subset of the affine algebraic variety \(\text{Hom}(K^n \wedge K^n,K^n)\), or of the projective space \(\mathbb P(\text{Hom}(K^n \wedge K^n,K^n))\). The varieties \(\mathcal L_n(\mathbb C)\) have been often studied in low dimensions, where the irreducible components and the orbit closures have been determined. In this paper the author determines the singular points (expressed as the unit of orbits of given Lie algebras) and a resolution of the singularities for each irreducible component of the varieties \(\mathcal L_3(\mathbb C)\) and \(\mathcal L_4(\mathbb C)\).
