How to Fix Broken Makeup

Hi everybody!

If you’ve ever broken a beautiful compact or awesome blush, you know how heartbreaking it can be. You may even feel like your favorite makeup item is gone forever. Don’t lose hope! There’s a solution.

Step 1: Retrieve your broken makeup product and cry a little. Here, I lost a beautiful Rimmel London bronzer on the trip back to Dubai.

Step 2: Wipe away your tears and against your better judgement, crush up the makeup even more. It doesn’t have to be super fine, just make sure it’s in a bunch of small pieces.

Step 3: Grab rubbing alcohol. I used ethyl, but you can also use isopropyl. This is your key to fixing up your makeup.

Step 4: Gradually begin adding in the rubbing alcohol to your powder. Do this slowly, you don’t want to drown it.

Step 5: Add more rubbing alcohol as you mix until you get a thick paste. It shouldn’t be too runny. Also, make sure the paste is well mixed to avoid air bubbles or dry clumps.

Step 6: Smooth out the makeup and let it sit overnight. If you want to add an emblem or decoration to the surface, this is the time to do it.

Step 7: Admire your saved powder and wear it proudly. [Note: you may need to scrape off a little of the surface once it dries, because the rubbing alcohol might leave a film.]

I hope you enjoyed, and that all of your future beauty products are saved!
