How To: Fix broken makeup

Hey guys! This time I am going to tell y'all how to fix makeup that is cracked! I had a bad experience with broken makeup a year ago, and now I am going to share how to fix it!

First let me tell a mini story... So last year I had bought a new powder I wanted to try, and when I got it out of the bag it fell out of my hands and onto the hard tile floor in my dorm room. My first thought was, crap now its going to have broken and I am going to be powderless for a few days before I can get back to the store to replace it. Sure enough when I picked it up it was shattered to pieces, but before I gave up hope that I had just wasted $5 I turned to none other than Pinterest, and it gave me this solution...

To fix your makeup you will need:

• Rubbing Alcohol
• Toothpick (or any small pokey device)
• The broken makeup

Step 1: Pour a cap full of Rubbing Alcohol.

Step 2: Pour Rubbing Alcohol onto broken makeup little by little.
Step 3: Stir with toothpick.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the makeup has bonded together again.
Step 5: Leave the makeup out to dry with the lid off! Eventually the alcohol with evaporate and the makeup will become firm again! **It took mine all night to dry**

A couple things to keep in mind:

• I broke a container of Rimmel Stay Matte powder, which is bigger than a small container of eyeshadow. It took a cap and a half...ish to fix my makeup. You can adapt the steps to fit the size of makeup you are fixing, which is why I added "little by little" to the end of step two. If you pour too much rubbing alcohol on the makeup then it will take longer to dry and can overflow out of the container, so just be conscious.
• This will work on any pressed powder product! (Pressed powder is different than loose powder because you cannot break loose powder).
• After fixing the makeup it will smell like Rubbing Alcohol, but the longer you leave it out with the lid off the more the smell disappears. It took a day..ish I think for the smell to completely vanish.

Thank you guys for reading, and I hope this comes in handy to somebody! It worked very well for me, and saved me a trip to the store and $5! If you have any questions leave them in the comments below!
