Fixing broken makeup tutorial 🫶✨🥰
* 91% rubbing alcohol
* something to crush up the powder
* something to press down the powder
* plastic wrap or paper towel to place over the powder.
**First and foremost, make sure that your hands are clean, as well as, whatever tools you are using for this seeing how this makeup is going on our face.
1. Break up the product until it's a fine powder and spread out.
2. Pour in rubbing alcohol a little at a time until it's Thoroughly mixed in. Try not to overflow for mess controls sake (since rubbing alcohol evaporates, there's no need to measure)
3. Mix until its a whipped consistency, making sure to scrape the corners.
4. Carefully spread back out as evenly as possible and let the powder set up enough to beable to smooth and level out.
5. Let dry (It needs to be dry enough that when rubbed over with your finger, it doesn't move around. It needs to be firm enough that it doesn't get stuck to the tool that's pressing it down)
6. Check every 10-15 minutes until dry enough to press down. Take plastic wrap or paper towel and place over the makeup.
7. Gently press the powder down with a hard flat object. Go over a few times to make sure it's even.
8. Once pressed, let dry for 30 min or an hour,depending on how much product you have.

Okay, so who else has experienced that heartbreaking moment when your favorite eyeshadow, blush, or bronzer slips from your hand and shatters into a million pieces? I've been there more times than I care to admit! It feels like such a waste, especially when it's a beloved shade or an exclusive product you got in a beauty box like IPSY. But guess what? You absolutely don't have to toss it! I've perfected this rubbing alcohol technique, and it's been a game-changer for my makeup collection. This hack truly is a lifesaver for all your pressed powder products. The magic behind it is simple: rubbing alcohol acts as a temporary binder, allowing you to re-press the powder. The best part? It evaporates completely, leaving your makeup just as pigmented and usable as before, with no weird residue or altered texture. I always recommend using 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol if you can find it, as it contains less water than the 70% variety, which means it evaporates faster and reduces the drying time needed for your makeup. Beyond the basic steps, I've picked up a few extra tips that make this process even smoother. When you're crushing the product, a clean, flat-ended brush handle or even the back of a spoon works wonders to get a really fine powder. The finer you can get it, the more seamlessly it'll re-form. And when adding the alcohol, seriously, go slow! A few drops at a time is key. You're aiming for a thick, whipped consistency – like a paste. If it's too runny, you'll just have to wait longer for it to dry, and it might not press as firmly. Now, for the pressing stage, patience is your best friend. After you've spread it evenly, let it sit for a bit until the surface looks slightly drier before you press. I like to use a piece of plastic wrap over the makeup, then press down with a flat, heavy object like the bottom of a clean glass or a coin wrapped in a tissue. Make sure to apply even pressure across the entire surface. This is what gives you that smooth, compact finish. And the drying? While the initial instructions say 30 minutes to an hour, I've found that for a truly solid fix, letting it air dry for at least 12-24 hours, or even overnight, can make a huge difference. You want it to be completely dry and hard before you start using it again, otherwise, it might crumble once more. One important note: this hack works best for pressed powder products like eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, and setting powders. It's not suitable for cream products, liquid foundations, or baked formulas, as the alcohol can alter their texture permanently. Always ensure your tools are spotless before you start – we're putting this on our face, after all! So next time disaster strikes your makeup bag, don't despair! Grab your rubbing alcohol and give this trick a try. You'll be amazed at how easily you can bring your favorite products back to life!
