Restore your Makeup !!! **Fixing Shattered Powders & Dry Gel Liner/Cream Eyeshadow**

Hallo everybody ! 


Have you ever felt that cringe when off went a palette of eyeshadows or a pressed powder and *bam* on the floor? 
OR just randomly opened it one day to find a million pieces of your beloved makeup product. 

And then there are the times when you reach for a gel liner or cream shadow that has been stashed in the back of your collection but one fine day you REALLY REALLY want to use it again.. AND you find that it has totally shrunk, left its walls and is hard as a rock. Let alone using this, you can not even swatch it.

Here's what you can do ! :)




Just ask your local chemist for isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Its 50 buks and its awesome. Here's why.

-> It does not change your makeup's composition in any way. It simply acts as a binding agent and evaporates.
-> Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol is an awesome disinfectant. Its what they use on a cotton ball before an injection. 

Too dry to even swatch !
As for the creamy shadows and liners, the heat from the blow drier just reactivates the emollient texture and they will be good to go for another few weeks and then you may have to repeat this process. Remember to apply maximum heat to get the emollients going and minimum air flow. Too much air can further dry these up. 

Alternatively, if your product containers seem microwave safe, just pop them in there for a few seconds. That should work just as well. 

Swatches after heating with a blowdryer ! 

Have fun with your makeup my beauties. 

Much Love.
