Have you ever just been getting ready to go out, doing your makeup, when all of the sudden you lose your grip on your favorite disk of bronzer?

Broken Powder/Bronzer

 One moment you're carelessly sweeping your favorite shade over the bridge of your nose then suddenly, out of nowhere, you're all

and you're bronzer is all

Well, this has happened to me countless times. I buy $20 face makeup, something that rarely occurs, then the next minute its on the floor in pieces. Sure, you can try to make use of it by clumping it together and patting it onto your cheeks, but more than likely your face looks like an ombre pallet of sauce. No worries, a simple trick will fix it!

Sweep the broken pieces into the compact and cover with a few drops of rubbing alcohol. Wrap your finger in some saran wrap and smooth the makeup into desired shape. Let dry, and before closing your compact add a cotton ball so next time you drop it, it stays solid!

It's a quick fix, but you'll need to purchase a new bottle eventually.

To give your tube of mascara life, simply add a few drops of contact solution.

Shake vigorously and enjoy your reincarnated lash lube; you'll be all
