Many of you lovely ladies have asked me “how do I repair my broken eyeshadow?”
So I would like to share with you a DIY method on how to repair broken eyeshadow.
There’s nothing more frustrating than when your expensive eyeshadow cracks into a million pieces and spills inside your makeup bag. With just a few easy steps you can have your favorite eyeshadow back to NEW!
First off you will need a few tools and household products:
- shattered eyeshadow
- coin (quarter)
- rubbing alcohol
- tissue
- clean spoon
- dropper or sprayer
- sandwich bag or plastic wrap
Now you’re ready to get started!
- Place broken eyeshadow into a plastic sandwich bag or cover with plastic wrap. This is to avoid the powder from making a mess everywhere and will also keep the eyeshadow from getting contaminated with germs.
- Further break up the eyeshadow with the back of the spoon until all powder is broken up into a fine dust.
- Remove eyeshadow from the plastic bag or uncover and apply rubbing alcohol with a dropper, sprayer or pour a little into the cap. Distribute evenly over the eyeshadow.
- Your eyeshadow should now be a pasty consistency. Next take a tissue and place over the shadow.
- Now place the coin on top of the tissue pressing down firmly onto the eyeshadow.
- Let it dry. You’re eyeshadow is as good as new! (for best results allow to dry overnight)
Hope this DIY method helps you save your favorite eyeshadow. Enjoy!
