WHAT YOU NEED: Broken powder makeup (powder, eyeshadow, or blush) Rubbing alcohol (the higher the concentration, the better- I used 70) Plastic wrap (optional, but keeps your fingers cleaner!)

Makeup Tip #11

This is something I've always known about, but never actually utilized. Now that I've tried it, I’m gonna do it all the time.

Scenario: You’ve got a brand new blush that is ridiculously hard to open. After you pull at it for awhile, it finally springs open... right onto the floor and shatters into a bunch of pieces. Instead of throwing it away, and weeping about the loss of your new blush, here’s what you do.

Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol that lives under everybody’s sink. (Do bottles of rubbing alcohol just come with houses when you move in? I assume they do. They are always there and they are always full. It’s magic. I digress....) Put as many of the shards of product back into the original container as you can and add a couple drops of the rubbing alcohol, then mash it all together. The alcohol will evaporate and your blush (or eye shadow or whatever powder product you’re reconstructing) will be whole again! Seriously. That’s it.

I was doing makeup for a wedding last weekend and a new highlighter I got kept breaking every time I opened the lid. I didn’t want to throw the whole thing away, so I came home and tried the alcohol trick and it totally worked! I was so impressed, and also sad that I’ve thrown away many broken powders instead of fixing them.

If you need a visual aid, let me know and I’ll do a pictorial. Otherwise, you can check Pinterest or YouTube for tutorials!

HERE ARE SOME BONUS TIPS IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO FIX THE BROKEN PALETTE OR USE THEM AS MAKEUP PIGMENTS!!!!!

1. Create your own loose pigment product.

▪   Empty the bits, and whatever remains in the pan, into an old (but clean) lipgloss tub, empty sifter jar, etc.

▪   Use plastic spork, small spatula or other tool to break up all the bits until you have a uniform powder consistency.

▪   Apply with a brush!

2. Repress using (some) pressure.

▪   Put the broken bits back into the original pan.

▪   Cover your finger with plastic wrap.

▪   Use your finger to gently and evenly press the shadow (or other makeup) into the pan.

3. Re-press using alcohol.

▪   Put the broken bits back into the original pan.

▪   Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol (not tequila or rum, ladies. Stay focused.) and stir into a paste.

▪   Note: At this point, your shadow will look quite dark. Don’t worry.

▪   Using a plastic wrap covered finger, press the shadow/powder into the pan. Even it out with your finger.

▪   Set the container out to dry for a few days. Once the color is back to normal, you’ll know it’s ready.

▪   Or- if you pan is not plastic, you can bake the pan in your oven at 300 degrees (F) for 3 minutes at a time. Check it OFTEN! Once you notice the edges lightening, remove the pan and set it out to dry for about 2 days.
