Re: TECHNIQUE FAQ: Fixing broken pressed-powder products
Thank you so much for this! I had quite a few eyeshadows that I loved but because they broke, I was essentially unable to use them (Stars/Rockets, Amber Lights, Lancome Personal Style). Let's just say I went on a kick of repairing the shadows-using the number 3 method since I'm lazy. I was able to use some old napkins that I got on clearance somewhere to get really cool textured hatch marks, so that's one thing I did differently. Now it's trying to figure out what to do with my two things of Lancome Slide, which was a Colour Focus colour so they had the kinda dome appearance.

It actually helped when I did it on Stars/Rockets to use the end of my eyeshadow brush to crush the big chunks into smaller ones and then keep pressing-it then ended up at least helping to create a base of sorts before I pressed it.

I will try the alcohol method with my broken Satin Taupe e/s. It's literally in crumbles. I hope it works!!

Re: TECHNIQUE FAQ: Fixing broken pressed-powder products
You can also wrap a quarter in an old tshirt to get the hatch marks if your jeans are too thick to work with or if you don't have jeans you want to use.

Re: TECHNIQUE FAQ: Fixing broken pressed-powder products
I've fixed e/s using the tutorial. I used alcohol with an old pair of jeans and a clamp with a quarter to press. Has anyone repressed a blush and if so, what did you use? Obviously a quarter is too small. LOL.
