We have all had our favorite makeup fall off the shelf or bust
in our makeup bag…and want to cry because that shade of blush or eye shadow
doesn’t get made anymore. You think to yourself how can I save my “JUST TO DIE
FOR TEAL” shadow? Well I broke my Bare Minerals (If you haven’t tried the new
pressed powder DO!!! It’s so much less mess with awesome coverage) compact the
other day and well to put it mildly I’m cheap and didn’t want to spend the
money on a new one just yet.
Recently on Pinterest I have been seeing how easy it is to fix
any broken compact/ shadow/ blush. So I decided I would give it a shot. First I
broke down all the already broken pieces into a fine powder. I used the handle
of my kabuki brush to do this. Then I added a few drops of alcohol, be sure not
to add too much or it will become runny and messy in the next step. I used
alcohol because it evaporates and leaves the compact clean where water could
produce fungus, causing breakouts. Next I covered the compact with plastic and
pressed down with a quarter to flatten and compact the powder back down.
Tada! Now I can carry it my makeup bag again without making a
mess and I saved myself from having to pick up a new compact!!
