Before you throw away the broken compact powder box, why don’t you try repairing it? The most common method is to use rubbing alcohol. Although the alcohol will evaporate quickly, some people with extremely sensitive skin may still find their skin dry after using this method. Luckily, there’s still a way to fix broken chalk with pressure and steam that you can apply.
Steps
Use rubbing alcohol
- This method will use rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will evaporate and leave behind a compacted powder. [2] X Research Source This is considered safe, but if you have extremely sensitive skin, you may need to consider steam.
- This may look like you’re ruining the powder box, but it will make your final product smoother.
- Try to use at least 70% rubbing alcohol. [4] X Research Source The higher the concentration, the faster the alcohol evaporates/drys. [5] X Research Sources
- If you accidentally add too much alcohol, you can dip a corner of a paper towel in the excess. The paper towel will absorb the alcohol.
- To make your chalk look brand new, you can use a piece of cotton cloth instead of a tissue. It will leave a pattern on the face like many new powders. [10] X Research Source
Using pressure and steam
- Since no alcohol is used, this method is safe for sensitive skin. [14] X Research Source
- Most chalk boxes have a metal disc placed inside the plastic box. Make sure your chalk box has this metal disc.
- If you don’t remove the metal disc, you run the risk of melting the plastic chalk box.
- At this point, the chalk may look like new, but it’s fragile and can melt with the slightest touch. You need more compression with heat.
- Make sure to turn off steam mode. You need to use dry heat.
Advice
- If you can’t find rubbing alcohol, you can replace it with isopropy alcohol. Do not substitute with acetone or nail polish remover.
- These methods work for all types of makeup: blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, and foundation.
- If only a small part of the chalk is broken, try: grind the broken part into a fine powder, pour alcohol into the gap and brush the chalk down the gap.
- This method is ideal for foundation, blush and highlighter. If you can’t compress your eyeshadow, you can use it as loose powder.
- If your makeup powder has expired, it’s best to throw it away and replace it with another box. These methods may only cause expired chalk to dry out further.
- If you can’t restore the eyeshadow, please reuse it for another purpose. Mix eyeshadow with nail polish to create your own shade. You can also mix eyeshadow with Vaseline wax to make your own lip gloss.
Warning
- These methods are only temporary fixes. Your restored compact powder box is still fragile and can easily break again. [16] X Research Source
- Some people find that the restored powder is a little harder/darker. Some people also find that it is not the same as before. [17] X Research Source
