ok, maybe it's not the 54th problem in my life, but it drives me nuts when this happens:
when i first started to try and be like my mom and look good wearing makeup but failed miserably because no one taught me blue eye shadow was wrong wear makeup, i would throw away containers if this sort of thing happened. whether they were dropped and cracked or just all used up, i didn't think there was a way to salvage them. then i found out that alcohol could solve my problem! rubbing alcohol, that is. not drinking alcohol (otherwise, i might end up wearing blue eyeshadow again)
all you will need: rubbing alcohol, a bobby pin (to mix) and a spoon (to smooth)
first, grind up the makeup so it's covering the bottom of the container
second, pour alcohol into container and mix/stir with bobby pin. it's going to be lumpy, bumpy and gross. that means you did it right.
third, remove the bobby pins and let your makeup sit for a few hours so the alcohol has time to evaporate. after about 3 hours, take your spoon to the surface and smooth out the lumps. if possible, wait over night before using the makeup.
pretty simple, no?
Love this! It's so cool, simple, and useful :)
ReplyDeletethis is really neat- I've never seen anything like this before!
ReplyDeleteGenius! And saves money!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on pinterest and I was dying to know if it worked, but not motivated enough to go buy alcohol. I'm all over it now though!
ReplyDeleteHa! Blue eyeshadow. Hate to say I've worn it. Oh, 2004, where have you gone?
