Ways to Fix Broken Eyeshadow

You’re out for the day and realize you forgot to pack your makeup bag. You find an old, broken eyeshadow in your vanity drawer and wonder if there is anything you can do with it? Luckily, there are a few things that can be done with these pieces of makeup. Below are some DIY fixes for when you forget your favorite eye shadow or mascara.

Eyeshadow is a beautiful and fun accessory to add to any makeup routine. But what do you do when the eyeshadows break and crumble during application? Here are some ideas:

  1. mix in a little bit of eye shadow primer,
  2. mix with an oil such as coconut oil or olive oil,
  3. remove the top layer of powder from your favorite pressed powder eye shadows,
  4. use Vaseline instead. These four ways will help keep your favorite eyeshadow usable for years.

There are many ways to fix broken eyeshadow. If you have a problem crumbling and breaking powder, try mixing it with some clear lip gloss or petroleum jelly. You can also use a clean mascara brush or your finger to even out the pigment in an eye shadow that has become too chunky from being swirled around in its container. Finally, sweep on some glitter over top of the shadow for a sparkling effect for a more dramatic look!
