How to Fix Your Shattered Eye Shadow, Powder or Blush

Uh-oh, your favorite eyeshadow dropped on the bathroom floor and now it's in pieces. How to fix? It's actually quite simple. To fix broken powders (caused by dropping, bumping or even extreme temperatures), the key is drops of rubbing alcohol.
Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to your compact, then smooth the powder in place with your finger wrapped in Saran Wrap, or, as Real Simple suggests in the April 2007 issue, a butter knife. Let it dry before you use again. If the damage is too far gone, you can dump the powder in a jar and use it as loose powder. Real Simple also suggest placing cotton puffs over individual powders then shutting the case, when traveling.

People ask me to recommend eyeshadows all the time. I really like Lancome's shadows and for drugstore brands, Maybelline is nice, but my favorite is L'Oreal Infinite Duos
