QUICK TIP: How to repair a broken shadow

Hello makeup lovers,
Dont you just hate it when your favourite shadow/powder shatters and then every time you open it it creates a big mess? Well i found quick and easy ways on how to fix just that!
OPTION 1
First, pour the loose contents of the powder into a ziploc bag. Crush until its a fine powder.
Add 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel. Mix well.
Place the mixture back into the compact pan. Then place a sheet of paper over the powder and with a anything with a hard surface (coin, book, bottle, etc) on top of it. 
Gently but firmly apply pressure down to secure the powder into the compact 
Let it air dry. 
OPTION 2
Pour loose contents into ziploc bag and crush it. 
Add 1-2 drops of rubbing alcohol into the empty pan.
Add about half of the powder into the pan. mix contents. 
Add another drop of alcohol then add the remaining powder. Evenly distribute and smooth it across the pan.
The end result should be icing-like so add additional alcohol accordingly. 
Wait about 45 minutes for all the alcohol to evaporate. Itll harden. 
Then just take any hard object and press down on the shadow. 


Its as easy as that! Let me know if you tried it yourself, or if you have other tips and tricks :) 
Until next time, xox,
