As I am getting ready this morning I go to put on my new fav matte bronzer by NYX and GASP!!! It's broken!! How did this happen? What did I do to deserve this? Well, a little time spent on Pinterest and I think I have found the solution. I will def be trying this tonight.
Step 1: Dump the shadow into a small bowl. You can use an
extra makeup brush to get the original container clean.
Step 2: Use the back of a brush to crush the shadow into a
fine powder.
Step 3: I used the cap to my rubbing alcohol as a
measurement and poured it into the container with the shadow. Make sure to mix
well until you end up with a paste! Start off by slowly adding the alcohol, to
make sure you don’t make the mixture too watery. In the case that happens, it’s
all good – it will just take a bit longer for the shadow to dry down.
I used a wooden stirrer that I had lying around, but you can use a spoon or
anything you want.
Step 4: You’ll have a paste that you will mold into the
original shadow container. Try to make it as even as possible! You will be able
to make little adjustments later!
Step 5: Place the shadow where it will not be bothered for
the next few hours.
Step 6: Time goes by ….. and after a couple of hours you can
see the powder coming together. You can use a piece of fabric (or in my case a
paper towel), tohelp mold the shadow and also give it a nice finish. Afterwards,
leave it alone for several hours.
Step 7: All set! When all is said and done, it took around 8
hours or so to complete! Not bad!
There ya have it girls! No more broken powder or eyeshadow ever again!
