Shattered Makeup

Something that I really hate is when I drop an eye shadow or a pressed powder and it shatters. There's nothing more frustrating then trying to still use a shattered makeup or having to throw it away. Since one of my favorite eye shadows is broken I decided to search online and see if there was a way to fix it and there is! And it is super easy to do. 

You only need one thing. Rubbing alcohol. The higher the alcohol level the faster it dries too. 


There is a couple ways you can go about doing this. You can either crush up all of the shadow pieces into a fine powder and then put a few drops of rubbing alcohol into it to form a paste and then let it dry. I just decided it crush up the few broken pieces and put a few drops of rubbing alcohol and then just smoothed it around with my finger. The finished product doesn't look that pretty, but hey, it works! 

Funny note, my rubbing alcohol smells minty, so my eyeshadow now smells a little minty. But from everything I've read, the alcohol just dries up, all smells go away, and it doesn't hurt your skin at all!

Hopefully this helps you all out!
