How to Fix Broken Makeup | The Fashion Spot
With the cost of designer beauty products going up every season, a damaged or broken product can be devastating. Don’t go reaching for the garbage just yet, here are some tips you can use to salvage your favorite compacts and lipsticks.
Powder Compacts
It happens to everyone. A slip of the hand, an overzealous reach for your brush, it just takes a second and then smash . You favorite blush, bronzer, shadow, or powder sits on the floor, its previously pristine contents shattered into tiny little pieces. Do you throw it away? No! There are steps you can take to salvage it with just a few supplies. All you need is a few drops of rubbing alcohol and a spoon or butter knife. If you’re re-molding an eye shadow, a spoon will probably be better, but for larger palettes a knife covers more ground. Pack all of the broken pieces into the case as much as you can before you start, as you want to use as little alcohol as possible, then add just a few drops to soften the product. Gently push the pieces together with the flat side of your spoon or knife until it resembles its former glory. Now, all you have to do it wait for it to dry before you can use it as normal.
