A SECOND CHANCE

I wish I can individually pack my powder compacts with bubble wrap because every few weeks, I’m bound to find a product or two hopelessly shattered to pieces. And usually these products just happen to be my favorite ones. So my makeup artist friend Kavita Kaul taught me this simple and cheap trick to revive the injured. Now I never have to feel guilty about being careless and wasteful.

1. Put aside the broken pieces of powder

2. Transfer a bit of rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle

3. Spray generously the unbroken part of the compact with alcohol

4. Press the broken pieces of powder into the ‘moist’ compact

5. Recommended to do piece by piece and dampen each new base with more alcohol or as needed

6. Let the whole compact air dry (I leave it for 24hrs)

7. And happy ending!
