How To Fix A Broken Blush
If you drop your favorite blush and it breaks into a million pieces, don’t despair! It is possible to fix a broken blush and save yourself the cost of buying a new one. Here’s what you need to do:
First, gather your supplies. You will need the following:
- The broken blush
- A spoon or other flat object
- A bowl or plate
- Rubbing alcohol or vodka
- A small dropper or pipette
- A plastic bag or container
Once you have your supplies, follow these steps:
- Crush the broken blush into a powder. Use a spoon or other flat object to crush the blush into a fine powder. Be careful not to over-crush it, or you will end up with a clumpy mess.
- Transfer the powder to a bowl or plate. Once the blush is crushed, transfer it to a bowl or plate.
- Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol or vodka to the powder. Start by adding a few drops of rubbing alcohol or vodka to the powder. Use a dropper or pipette to add the liquid, and be sure to stir the powder after each addition.
- Continue adding liquid until the powder forms a paste. Continue adding liquid until the powder forms a paste. The paste should be thick enough to hold its shape, but not so thick that it is difficult to spread.
- Transfer the paste to a plastic bag or container. Once the paste is formed, transfer it to a plastic bag or container. Seal the bag or container and let the paste sit for 24 hours.
- Remove the paste from the bag or container and reshape it. After 24 hours, remove the paste from the bag or container and reshape it into your desired shape. You can use your fingers or a spoon to shape the paste.
- Let the blush dry completely. Once the blush is shaped, let it dry completely. This may take several hours or even overnight.
Once the blush is dry, it is ready to use again! You may notice that the color is slightly different from before, but the blush will still work just as well.
