How to fix a broken eyeshadow
It’s #MM or Makeup Monday for all you twitter lovers and today I want to share a valuable tip with you. But first let me tell you how I came about this discovery.
This past Friday I was getting ready for a small networking event when my all time favorite matte black eye shadow (MAC carbon) was found crushed & crumbled to death. I opened it so fast (just as I had done millions of times before) it spilled all over my sink, floor & clothes.
Of course I immediately took to twitter to vent, where @StyleNBeautyDoc and @arTIAstry graciously listened. Danielle (thestyleandbeautydoctor.com) suggested that I put the fragments into a jar to use as a loose powder, but it was all over the place, and just easier to clean it up & trash it. I then went on a mad search through my stash for a replacement and stumbled upon a NYX trio that had a matte black in it; and what do I do? drop it.
Luckily for me, the grey shadow is the one that crumbled, so I wasn’t devastated. Instead of dumping it, my first instinct was to just press it back into the pot, and IT WORKED! I know that is pretty self explanatory, but here is exactly what I did.
1. Gather all the framents back into the pan
2. Covering my finger with plastic I pressed the shadow back together, and
3. Cleaned around the edges with a Q-tip dipped in alcohol.
Or course it wasn’t as smooth as the others, but saved nonetheless. There are other methods to salvage broken makeup, but this is by far the easiest. I wish I could have saved carbon, but the NYX black is very pigmented and performed very well. I would definitely recommend it as a good matte black shadow.
