Alot of you are asking about alternatives as was I. I tried water and the powder I was fixing actually rejects the water, it stayed as little bubbles and refused to blend. Dug out my rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm - just a heads up for anyone else who was thinking of trying water. Thanks for the vid liveloveglam!
***** Thank-you so much for sharing that helpful information with us!! :)
Question, can we do it with acetone?
@@helloitsme1952 no, it will alter the cosmetic and it will not apply the same.
91% isopropyl alcohol is the best
I was actually thinking of trying water, thanks for saving me the stress
I was so upset when I recently dropped and spilled my pressed powder all over the floor. Your video was easy to follow and totally helped me out. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much! I dropped a nearly brand new MAC powder this weekend in my kitchen and was able to fix it. I was a little skeptical and was worried about the alcohol smell but that evaporated and my powder is in one piece again. You saved me!
This is exact what I needed! I use a powder foundation and I always end up with the middle of it gone before the edges. I knew about alcohol and eyeshadow but I was unsure about using it on foundation. Now I can transfer it into a smaller compact and finish it! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've watched other tutorials on TH-cam on this as a blush I ordered arrived crushed to smithereens and the color is sold out, but I couldn't even get through them because they were so annoying and drawn out. Your tutorial was direct and not annoying at all. :)
This is so helpful I have one Mac compact that broke long ago n I won't throw it away cuz I wanna buy it again but it's all cracked up
Mia Brooks I hope you were able to restore it :)
I tried this with regular powder coverup and bronzer. It made a perfect pressed on-the-go traveler size powder. Thanks!
Thanks for a great "How To" it saved a few of my favorite bronzers and shadows.
I'm not sure for all powders, but yes it did change the original state for the powder i showed. It made it more "powdery". When i was using it before i would have to swirl my brush around it more to pick up the product whereas when i did this method it was easier for my brush to pick up the product.
Thank you so much I was tired of getting broken compact all over my clothes now I can use it just like new again 😊
Yours is the best tutorial I have seen on how to do this. Thank you for posting!
omg! thin is soo useful! i was actually watching lauren curtis's new video and she mentioned this techniqe. so i searched and found ur video! super awesome!
i just broke my powder foundation and its out of stock currently so i really need to fix it!
Thank You!!! SO excited to try, bad habit of breaking my make-up powders!!! Just broke another one (as I was opening it for 1st time, cause I'm smooth like that) & gonna try this lil trick tonight!!!
Thank you so much for this. My daughter broke my wife's eye shadow and foundation, but I was able to fix it for her! She's going to be incredibly relieved.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I bought a new pressed powder yesterday and I clumsily dropped it. Then I found your tutorial and now its good as new 😊😘
omg this just saved my life!! i shattered my becca highlight and almost cried!!! thank you so much
You Can Use Witch Hazel as an Alternative Because Its Good for Your Skin
Out of the majority of How To videos I e just watched, ur method makes more spence. 1st, like you I would do water either. Also, u took powder out & put in bag (s/u have to do in a box like a p pallet, it will stain the card board packaging). You also patted the pan to get bubbles out & then let sit 1 hour (not overnight). And then you came back, added a bit more alcohol & press out. The other videos I was were mess; didn't pat, didn't press to get all the alchol out, and go back in like u did. KUDOS!
Nice to hear :) thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the great video, I found it very helpful. I really wish I had seen it in the past as I have thrown away cracked powders-but thanks to you that won't be happening anymore :)
Really love the loose powder idea bc lately I've had a few that broke. The only thing is you need a container to use as a loose makeup.... Right?just need to find one. I have an illuminating powder that broke and I think it will be pretty as a loose powder.
Happy to have helped! Thanks for the comment Sam :)
Wow! This is amazing. I wish I had seen this before I threw all my old eye shadows and broken compacts away lol
Wow! How did you come up with that?? I just fixed 3 of my mostly used compact powders by crumbling it and putting it in clear bathroom/makeup containers. I think I'll do this to them. ...and if the compact is pretty and has a big mirror I usually break the mirror off too If I need it.
Hmm.. a replacement lid is kinda tricky, I'd say keep it in a small zip lock baggy. Were you able to find a better alternative?
This is EXACTLY what i needed. My powder just broke and i didn't know how to fix it. Oh and is it really important to use rubbing alcohol? Or is there a substitute?
Thank you so much! I just received my pressed powder from the mail and parts of it broke ugh but i think i'll give this a try
The alcohol will not damage our skin as it is use in face powder and I use that trick but it gives too smell of alcohal and iam afraid from using powder at the I think it will damage my skin is it true
i just have to say that ur tutorial is the best out of the half dozen or so i have watched
what kind of rubbing alcohol did you use? i have seen many kinds and i am not sure which to use
Unfortunately i'm not sure of any alternatives but I heard you can use water. I haven't tried using it but someone posted a comment saying you can but it just takes longer to evaporate :)
I totally forgot about this method. I need to get some rubbing alcohol to fix my bronzer. Im so glad i ended up in this video tho.
Btw do i need to wait for the product to dry a bit before i pressed the tissue on top, if yes then how long tho? And thanks 🙏🏼
Love it !!! this will fix like 5 of my broken powders !!!!!!
Somehow I ended up having more product when crushed so I used a bigger pot and while it was still wet I used a round sponge to make it smoother. I'm letting it dry now. Thank you so much, it was VERY useful!
u don't have to worry too much how smooth it is....cuz u put tissue paper down to "press" the powder which removes most the alcohol AND makes it smooth 😊...just thought I'd mention that so your not working so hard to make it perfect when the next step of absorbing by pressing pretty much does that for you :)
Lisa Heideman I had some problems with the tissue paper, that´s why I used a sponge, but maybe I did something wrong, at the end it dried though. Thank you so much! :)
Gabriela RL smooth fabric like cheesecloth or un bleached muslin is much easier to work with.
I wish I knew this before as I throw a lot of broken makeup! At least now I fixed my favourite eyeshadow and a broken blush. Thanks to you
I personally would just crush the broken piece & use it as a loose powder & use the rest regularly. But if the broken piece is big i would crush the rest & do the following steps as shown in the video :) Sorry for the late reply! What did you end up doing?
Thanks for sharing. I guess it can vary depending on your skintype.. *shrugs* because that didn't happen to me i didn't break out at all. Do you have sensitive skin?
Thanks hun! The first font is "Jenna Sue" the last font is "HaloHandletter"
I heard you can use water. I haven't tried using it but someone posted a comment saying you can but it just takes longer to evaporate :)
Great video! I have just a small piece of powder eyeshadow that's cracked- how can I fix it? Do I use the same technique or do something different? I wish I saw this sooner- I had a blush that broke last week.
Genius! Thank you so much! I have this annoyingly large H&M circular compact where I only use 1/4 of it--the most amazing highlighter I've been able to find (the other colors are crap, and I can't find this color anywhere). I am going to chop that 1/4 highlighter out of it and transfer it to a MUCH smaller compact--perhaps an old MAC Blot. :)
i needed this so badly, my eyebrow kits makeup cracked and i just bought it and i found this vid and it help a lot
Might be my new favorite channel
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I SUBBED!! All that time I've been throwing away my broken compacts of powder make-up and eye-shadows. THIS HAS HELPED ME A GREAT,GREAT,GREAT BIG DEAL!!!! I'll be doing this for now on.
TAKE CARE...
Lol you are so funny! Thanks for the comment. & no worries i know exactly what you mean haha. I always try to just cut to the chase. Have a great weekend :)
Thank you! very helpful; going to try it out!
Thx A LOT for this tutorial, i tried, and it only took me 5 mins, and now i have bronzer back!
OMG!!!! Thanks a million! you just saved me $$$! I was about to throw away a bunch of my broken powders! THANKS!!!
No problem at all, happy to have helped :)
I enjoyed your clip. Loved your video!
Omg yaas thanks for the tip! I literally just bought a new powder and on my way home i dropped it on the ground by accident. Gonna try this now !
I'd love to upgrade! Although the first upgrade i *need* to do is my camera.. it's being held together by a rubberband lol! but ya thanks♥
u could also just keep it into the compact kind of mash it up or not and just pour rubbing alcohol on top and smooth out all the creases and line and keep patting it and pushing it down with ur fingers, put a tissue on top to absorb excess then let it dry and it’s the same result
what if you don't have rubbing alcohol,what else can you use???
vodka works
Anyone know if gin works? lol
+Niamh H wine works
yaila elizabeth pino water
Water
can i do this with bronzer? like a shimmery one with three different colours in it?
Yes
The rubbing alcohol will evaporate so it shouldn't make your skin dry. It hasn't made mine dry :) Just make sure you let it dry over night so then by the morning it will be ready to use
It shouldn't smell since the rubbing alcohol evaporates, mine didn't smell like anything. Do you remember what the alcohol % was?
What's the status on it now? is it fine?
Did the smell go away? i hope it did because it should have! what was the alcohol content %?
Loved this. Thank you for sharing. I've watched quite of few of these make-up fix, do it yourself videos and most of them have too much gibberish in them. This was was straight forward, the camera was focused on the directives while the speaker provided the instructions. Not to mention the speaker didn't say "um" or "like" a million times.
Alicia Lopez Sorry for the late reply. Thank-you so much for the kind comment I appreciate that! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my video :)
Have a great day!
hands down the best "how to" video I have ever watched! I will pick up some alcohol and give it a try, I'll let you know! Thanks
Barbara Horton Thank-you so much!! All the best, I hope it works out for you :)
Are you still able to use the puff that comes with the compact after doing this, or do you need to use a makeup brush?
Awesome vid!! I was soo upset that my two year old broke my new blush and now I can still use it!! Fixed a bronzer and eye shadow too!!
Yayy, you brought it back to life :) thanks for the comment!
yes, my bronzer was such a pain to use all broken up. It works great now! I have to get my own youtube account, hubby is pissed I am using his account to comment on makeup, lol! - Gina Kiser
This is a great video all the powder and eyeshadow I have thrown out I feel bad but now I know that I can fix it
So happy to hear that you fixed it!! Thanks for the comment ^_^
Damn!! I wish i knew about this YEARS ago!! I always break my powders! THX!! :)
Tara Shaw No worries same here, lol! Well at least now you do :)
Thanks for leaving a comment!
Hi whats the alternative for alcohol? I'm not too comfortable in mixing it to my pressed powder.. thanks!!!
And is 'rubbing alcohol' the same stuff you would use after getting your ears pierced ??
Tessa Donnelly NO they put some saline solution lol rubbing alcohol it for cuts
Thank you so so much for this video I fixed my benefit boxed blush with this and now it's good as new!!!
I have been a makeup/ cosmetologist for 10 years and I didn't know this I thought it was freakin awesome!!!#
Heather Silhan You learn something everyday!! Thanks for your comment :)
your video was very helpful. the only thing is that its been more than 24 hrs and i still smell alcohol.. is it supposed to be like that? will it eventually evaporate?
You’ve saved 3 of my cracked & fave blushes. Thank you!!
Awesome tip, thank you so much for sharing! Do you think that most of the alcohol evaporates, and so very little alcohol remains? I want to try this, but I have dry skin and am a little hesitant since alcohol is said to be drying.
ilinaeternity Sorry for the late reply, most or all of the alcohol evaporated for me! I hope it worked out for you :)
thanks for the comment!
Hey I was just wondering , is there an something else I could use instead of rubbing alcohol????
Thank youuuuuuu :D but what if just half powder is broken? :( should I break the rest to do this ?
Yes
Aida Mesa Yes, break it to very small pieces. I hope it worked out for you :)
Very nice job, much better and thorough than others!
Is the pigmentation affected after adding the rubbing alcohol?
no
What is that NAIL POLISH you have on? Gorgeous shade.
May I ask why rubbing alcohol is used as opposed to water or some other liquid? Truly for curiosities sake! Thank you :)
yayyy!! glad I looked at this video,I was crushed (pun intended) when my MAC did this like a day after I bought it! great video now I got some foundation to fix!
Dont worry i feel the same... but now you know for next time :) Thanks for the comment♥ Have a great day!
THANK YOU!!! I found my favourite blusher in crumbles - will try this!
Polly Dolly No problem! I hope you were able to fix it :)
Is it normal for the product to smell like rubbing alcohol afterwards? Not sure if I put too much (two capfuls, didn't think I put enough in because it wasn't stirring to a proper consistency!), with an almost full NARS compact blush.
I just took off a lot of bright pink pigment (even though I have the colour Orgasm and it looks a lot darker in the case) with a kleenex and I'm leaving it open to air-dry completely tonight, but I'm worried there's still a lot of rubbing alcohol in it? :/
is it okay to use water or any alcoholic beverage instead of the rubbing alcohol? If not, what other alternatives can be used ?
Hi? u used alcohol to fix it back, will it not have bad effects on the face?
May I ask what font this is? I've been looking for it forever :) Thank you so much! (love your video by the way! :))
what it 's rubbing alcohol means in french ?Like some alcohol for cleaning hands ?
Can i use another alternative if i don't have rubbing alcohol?
You're the ultimate life saver liveloveGlam !
Ladyluxswimwear Aww.. thanks!! Happy to have helped :)
Well technically it's not on your face because it evaporates, so make sure it's fully dry before using it :)
But in terms of is alcohol bad for your face in general, i wish i knew. You'd have to google it for more info, because i've heard yes, no or depending on your skintype. However using it to fix your make-up should be fine/not harmful :)
you can also crush the powder and mix the alcohol in the bag.
cut the tip and put it in the original container
I should have looked this video up when my favorite powder broke😩😩😩😩 I had to buy a new one, which I didn't buy until weeks after because the drugstore didn't have my shade😩😩, but now I know in case it happens again, God forbid it does
Good video!
Is there a substitute for alcohol? I heard lenses solution works well, is that correct?
I've done this 2 times already, following the exact steps, but it always cracks. I leave it over night to dry completly, but it just creates big cracks.
What am I doing wrong?
Wow this literally saved me a trip to the store for some make up right now thanks !! :)
what kind of alcohol or can u use anything else other then alcohol
Thanks for your support :)
can i substitute the rubbing alcohol with? please answer this asap because i want to fix my mothers broken powder(because she's been having trouble with using the shattered powder for days so i thought i should fix it)before she wakes up from her sleep :)
Does antibac (one type with a gel that is kinda floating) work?
I haven't tried using water but someone posted a comment saying you can but it just takes longer to evaporate :)
Can Witch Hazel be used instead of Rubbing Alcohol since the Alcohol seems to dry out the skin?
Malissa H it evaporated so it dosent
