Fixing broken face powder



3.     It’s always so sad to drop a compact of foundation, blush, or other face powder and see your makeup all crushed and un-useable. All is not lost, however! We’ve rounded up four easy steps for powder repair that you can accomplish at home.

Depending on how badly your powder is broken, you may need to break up any remaining solid pieces. All of your pressed powder needs to be loose powder before you begin. A mascara tube or butter knife can help you with this.

*Add some rubbing alcohol to the loose powder to create a paste. Add the alcohol slowly. You want enough so that all the powder is covered, but don’t want to add too much!

* Just let it dry. The alcohol will evaporate if left overnight with the lid open, leaving you with a pressed solid.

*After the powder is dry, you might want to clean up the edges of the pan. 
      If so, simply use a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to tidy things up.
