How to: Fix your broken powder makeup



All you need is a few drops of alcohol into your broken powder compact. Usually it would be said to use 75%+ based alcohol, but this is because the more alcohol concentrate, the faster it dries. Any percentage of alcohol will do though, because I like to leave it out to dry overnight.



Here are the steps!
  • Add a few small drops into your broken powder makeup compact or casing.
  • After you add the alcohol to the broken powder you will notice it seep into the powder causing it to become soft.
  • Smudge the soft soaking powder around, making it into a paste-like substance and re-form it by smoothing it out with your finger. You will know exactly what to do!
  • You can then smooth the surface out with the bottom of a spoon if you choose to, but remember that it does not have to be perfect to work perfectly.
  • Let it dry overnight for best results.
