- Crush: Use a spoon or clean brush to crush the larger pieces to a powdery consistency. This makes it easier to repair.
- Add alcohol: Carefully pour a few drops of alcohol over the powder. Start with a small amount and add more as needed. The goal is to create a paste-like consistency.
- Reshape the powder: Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture evenly into the pan or container. Make sure to press it down well so it sets.
- Let it dry: Let your repaired makeup dry for a few hours. It’s best to leave it overnight so it can harden properly.
