How to fix broken makeup so it lasts longer
When you’ve spent lots of money on a product, it can be frustrating when it breaks or dries out. Before you throw it in the bin – stop- your favourite powder or eyeshadow can be saved with a little bit of creativity. Follow my simple steps and discover how to fix broken makeup and revive products that have dried up.
How to fix dried out mascara
You can revive a dried out mascara by adding five drops of saline solution or eye drops to the bottle and mixing it with the wand. You’ll be amazed at how much longer your mascara will last!
How to fix broken pressed powder makeup
Bring your compact back to life by putting cling film over the broken powder and crush it with the back of a spoon. Add two to three drops of rubbing alcohol and smooth the mixture together with a spoon. Leave to set for 30 minutes and it will be as good as new.
How to fix broken blusher
If you find your blusher has had its day you can use what’s left of the blush to create a cream blusher. Empty the remaining powder into a pot and mix it with your favourite moisturiser to form a paste. Add some foundation primer to give it some extra hold and mix it up until you’re happy with the colour and texture.
How to fix broken eyeshadow
Get inventive with broken powder shadows by crushing it into a very fine powder. When finished transfer it into a small acrylic pot and you have a brand new loose powder eyeshadow. This is one of my favourite ways to fix broken makeup.
How to repair lipstick
Use a lighter to warm the base of your broken lipstick so it melts slightly then press it back onto the remaining part. Place it in the fridge for a hour and the lipstick should have molded together giving your lippy a new lease of life. If it’s too far gone to be repaired you can create your own lipstick palette. Amazon has a fantastic selection of empty lipstick palettes for you to start dispensing your broken lipstick.
I hope these helps you discover how to fix a broken makeup palette or powder compact. If you love the post don’t forget to give it a share on Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook.
