Broken Makeup? Fix It With This Clever Hack

    Don't throw that bronzer out!

    What you need:

    Broken makeup

    Clean knife

    Rubbing alcohol
    Paper towel or tissue

    Instructions:

    1. Collect all of the broken makeup pieces in the bottom of the compact.

    2. Break up the makeup as fine as you can using a very clean knife.

    3. Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol and mix until it forms a paste; add a few more drops if needed.

    4. Spread and smooth makeup back into the compact. Tap on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles. Let dry about 1 hour, or until almost dry but still a little damp.

    5. Cover the makeup surface with a clean paper towel or tissue. Use the cap of the rubbing alcohol bottle to pack and smooth the makeup even further. Let dry completely.

    Tip: If the makeup container is too small to mix in, empty the broken makeup into a clean cup or bowl, mix and return to the container to dry.
