Eye Shadow Fixer Tutorial

Ok.. as PROMISED!

* So you went out to buy your FAVORITE shadow or blush in the WORLD.
Mine: Cargo Coral BEACH <3
* You got it out the bag and accidently droped it on the floor!
(GASP..) Brand new product.. SHATTERED!
* Now What?? Clean up the mess and CRY ;

( BUT WAIT!! WE CAN FIX IT!!

YAH! =) Get Ready ... it might get MESSY

Step 1: Properly Wash your HANDS! Prevent Contamination!

Step 2: Gather Your Materials. You Will need:
a. 70 % Isopropyl Alcohol ( Rubbing) * No Substitutions.
b. Plastic Knife
c. Broken Shadow/Blush/pigment



sorry I forgot to flip the Picture =P




Step 3: With the point of the knife, break up the large pieces of shadow.



Step 4: With the other end of the knife, mash the broken pieces until they are FINE particles.




Keep Mashing until it is all small particles.



Step 5: Measure HALF * a capful of alcohol and pour into the fine particles!



SLOWLY!! CAUTION: 1/2 Cap AT A TIME!!



Step 6: Mix the alcohol & shadow together in smooth motions. A paste will form, be careful NOT to ADD too much ALCOHOL. Try to achieve a BUTTER consistency.



Step 7: Spread the paste into a smooth form. PRETEND you are spreading frosting on a cupcake.


Step 8: Finally with a clean tissue, clean off any excess around the container.


Step 9: Allow the container to set and dry UNCOVERED for at Least 24 HOURS!


For Pigments allow 48 hours to completely DRY!


Step 10: Enjoy your new SHADOW /BLUSH !


FYI: The alcohol will compact the shadow into its original form. The vapors will evaporate and should not smell like alcohol ( if left uncovered to Dry.)

There should not be any change to the consistency, color, or composition to the shadow/ blush.



DISCLAIMER:


There should be no irritation to the skin, but if redness persists, STOP USING!


Make Sure you WASH your Hands Properly and handle Shadows/Pigments Carefully.


Use NEW, CLEAN TISSUES & PLASTIC KNIVES


Make Sure You use a NEW BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL.


Remember: You put these products on your face, so handle the pigments CAREFULLY to prevent CONTAMINATION!




Well, that's it! ENJOY!
