How To Fix Broken Eyeshadows (in MAC palette form and regular eye shadow compact)

[makeupbykatief]

@NLoveMakeUp07 It would have to be a high percent alcohol level. Like vodkia

[newyorkcolors]

She kinda looks like Kris Jenner here

[claramaynardbby]

Thank you so much. <3

[NLoveMakeUp07]

can you use just alcohol? like the one my dad drinks?please answer!

[makeupbykenandkim15]

what if a square eyeshadow breaks cuz Kandee that's why I clicked on this video!!

[SEHoYTx]

How would I go about fixing my MAC powder? Since it's in a much bigger comapct, I can't just use a quarter... can I?

[Shelleyfg87]

@1990cupcakes surgical spirit is the same as rubbing alcohol

[1990cupcakes]

Is TCP the same as rubbing alcohol? (im in the uk) im assuming normal 'drinking alcohol' wouldnt work haha

[thedaniellegray]

i want that zebra print plate! xoxo

[SaraMarshall1991]

@thedaniellegray target!

[tralalala123abc]

i win :) 71 %

[Gibson89Sarah]

This is awesome :)

[weewhovian]

Thank you, Kandee. :)

[junoneedsbleeker]

can yu use anything other than rubbing alcohol?

[21yaoigirl]

@junoneedsbleeker it probly wont work as well, but nail polish remover works quick as well. but it may make ur eyeshadow smell.

[princesschloee2000]

OMG that helped me so much thanks xx

[Katzenkoala]

Watching it again :D

[bunnie042000]

Does any know if Kandee has a DIY Palette? I have seen the Youtube vids using a CD Case and DVD Case, but considering that Kandee makes so many neat things, I thought she might have a homemade palette vid.

[gymnasticsGIRLxoxo]

just fixed my eyeshadow! thank you so much!

[TexasGirl928]

OMG Thank you sooo much for this video! I recently bought a gorgeous palette with 120 colors and they ALL cracked when it fell. I was so sad until I saw this video! I fixed all of them! It was definitely a little time consuming but I would rather spend time then more money. Once the alcohol evaporates the colors are as good as new! I picked my least favorite color to practice on but to be honest you don't even need practice. It's a really easy and fool proof process. THANK YOU!!!

[anandagaraguso]

wtf she dont wana tuch the quarter cuz its dirty physco bihh

[SEHoYTx]

@anandagaraguso I don't think she wants to handle it when she's also handling make up for eyes. Hence the fabric wrapped around the quarter - you just don't know where it's been!

[purplesam1323]

Thank you!!!!

[YoursTrulyLael]

Can you please make a video on how to make Rihanna's denim, distressed, cheeky, cut off, Daisy Duke hot pants( shorts)

[PafosnayaBru]

Thanks Candy, this video is very helpful for me!

[Zoogirl24]

thanks sooo much! my "swish " single shadow came out of the pot, so i took it out to fix it, and it cracked! :( im gonna fix it NOWW

[m0rena93]

I love your videos and you are so great. I have a question, I just broke my mac finish transparent powder compact can I still fix it with the alcohol? Please let me know. Thanks

[cheykeepow]

This is so helpful! i love it! so will this work with blush?

[ForeverBrittanyx]

WAIT rubbing alcohol both times?

[MissMaceyMZA]

*nars blushes

[MissMaceyMZA]

Thank youuuuu kandee! I alwaus break my bars blushes, you saved me from throwing away almost full things of makeup! You never cease to impress me, all the other makeup gurus tell me the same shit i already know, love you kandee!

[megatape12]

Am I the only one that noticed she said glue instead of rubbing alcohol on 2:32

[Erin1806]

Thanks Kandee you saved me $30 on two MAC eyeshadows.

[hamburgen]

Thanks Kandee....you saved my MAC Matte Bronzer! :)

[2zzVntgCokezz1]

your awesome kandee! <3

[Bekkxful]

will this work the same for free pored mineral eye shadows?

[andrea080808]

what is rubbing alcohol?? can i use the normal one?

[LaDiOsA1983]

awesome!

[Mrslibrey]

thank you so much for this. I just fixed one of my favs and it was soooo easy! Thank you!

[buzzingbumbblebee]

wow you are great

[AmberNMF]

Another tip to make the shadow look pretty is to have lace or fishnet over the t-shirt to give it a pattern.

[JtaimeFroy]

My english is not very good, what is the bottle she is using ?? :/

[ToxicAngelLuv]

@JtaimeFroy The bottle at 2:40? That's just a regular bottle that I believe she put the rubbing alcohol in so she could drop it into the eyeshadows easier :) 

[anydazecoo]

I dont see why it wouldnt work with blush :) doesnt hurt to try it.. Thanks for the easy steps kandee! :)

[iroxthisplace]

can you do this with blushes?

[KristyBaby18]

thanks so much. <3

[iLoveKittys0529]

Thank you thank you thank youuu!!!! This really works, and saved me so much money as I usually just throw the broken eyeshadows, blush and powders away. Now I know how to save them! :) yay.

3 cheers for Kandee!!!!

[inkedinpink]

Thank you thank you Kandee, I had an eye shadow from sephora that i broke when i first got the palette and could never really use the color! Now I can try it out!

[PopularParis]

Glue? What....?

[tericr921]

@PopularParis she means the alcohol cause that is the "glue

"

[SexXxyLeB]

did she say GLUE? i thought its alcohol....

[aninhakali]

@SexXxyLeB She meant alcohol :)

[LongWhiteCoat]

@SexXxyLeB it's "glue" as if in quotation marks b/c that's the function of the alcohol, not what it actually is.

[MangoLunatic]

Does ths work with blusher?

[trix10459]

35th

[Horseowner335]

i guess you could also use this to make new eyeshadows...

[LiveLaughLove5608]

Could I use hydrogen peroxide or water instead of alcohol? Someone p[lease reply

[DanalineCasastino]

how do you do this when theyre still in the pan?

[canonanibas]

I tried something a bit different. First, I took an xACTO knife and made the e/s into a fine powder. Then i took a tiny bit of alcohol, and i let it sit on the surface and soak on for 5 mins. Then i took a t-shirt and quarter and stamped it, and it came out great!

Afterwards (I wanted to depot it for BAck to MAC) i took apart the casing, and didn't ruin anything! It was weird but it all worked out.

[nadaadecirr]

Wich glue do you use?

[nadaadecirr]

I droped my smashbox blush, and i will try your method thank

[cluckg]

are you suppost to depot costal scents 88 pallette?

[hushpup13]

My first time having an eyeshadow break, and now it looks as good as new! I'm so glad I saw this before it broke :D Thanks Kandee!

[Reallyweirdpeople]

OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH i bought this eyeshadow palette with 120 colours and then i accidentally dropped it and almost all the colours got messed up and now i can fix them!!!! thank you so much~!!!

[clickasp]

[PaleMoons]

[LavenderLites]

[LIPSTICKSnLYRICS]

[anapana83]

[xMidoriPhantomhive]

Can you use anything else for this. Getting a hold of rubbing alcohol is proving difficult for me. xD

[klawdia96]

I just tried this technique but using a teaspoon instead of a syringe and textured paper towel with the quarter. My Mac shadow is happy now :) thank you Kandee!!!!

[tinovia]

[tijdelijktijdelijk]

Couldn''t you find a clean one or clean it up with the alcohol?

[xpowxbangxboomx]

Will this work for my clinique bronzed as well? Or not?

[vdeobuff]

will this work with pressed blusher/bronzer too? I need to get mine fixed. Thanks!

[etipopova]

@vdeobuff I fixed my bronzer last week and it worked perfectly, its like brand new now :)))

[lauragibby]

thank god for this video!

[mystify214]

Ahhhh!! I wish I would have came across this video BEFORE I threw away a shadow that broke after dropping my palette on the floor..but great to know for next time

[polkadotpinks]

hey, does this work for bronzer, pressed powder etc.. too? Or does the rubbing alcohol irritate the skin?

~thanks! (:

[starfairy12345]

[longvieweccentric]

Kandee, what would be a good thing to use to press MAC blushes? I broke mine last night at a pageant and need to repair it

[aprikat01]

thank goodness for this trick, i just saved my NARS albatross.

[edennnmarie]

Would it be bad to use peroxide? That's all I have.

[dearjaneexo]

Could I use peroxide? :)

[TheAmandakev]

will this work with bronzers?

[TheAmandakev]

did u say gluE??

[Kathryn003]

@TheAmandakev She just means the rubbing alcohol - it works as a glue.

[TheAmandakev]

does it change the way the makeup applies? like the pigmentation or texture? or will is be the same

[rainbowmoon16]

I had an urban decay eyeshadow in honey, I guess someone dropped it and it busted, I used these tricks and it's back to normal, thank you sooooooooooooooooo much! you are a life saver!!!

[busaboo]

Great idea!

Thanks for sharing.

[Laurasusana1988]

Thankyou saved my life lol

[girlishgamer1]

Does anybody think this will work for my coastal scents 88 pallet?

[AimiElisaMori]

@girlishgamer1 yes

[grarycat1984]

thank you for the tips im about to redo my makeup case i need more space and the small pots take up so much space thanks again

[savvic123]

it isn't glue people, it's rubbing alcohol she said that . Were you not watching or hearing???

[kaining1209]

Thanks for sharing.

[StefGreco84]

Thank you so much for that tip! Keep on making videos!! <3 ya!

[puppycute123]

What kind of Glue do you use ??

[TheHotpink461]

@puppycute123 The Glue Is The Alcohol

[hkag1]

can i use hydrogen peroxide?

[busaboo]

What a great tip!!

[SoulBlisterN9]

This worked perfectly! Kandee is so helpful.

[desirepriscilla]

Is it just any kind of glue?

[desirepriscilla]

Is it

[Kathryn003]

Thank you so much for this Kandee. I had 6 eyeshadows/blushers that had smashed that I kept in case I found a way to repress them, and this worked perfectly.

[TheAnaSofie]

i dont have rubbing alcohol, is there anything else i could use?

[kellykitti]

I wish i looked how to save broken eyeshadows a long time ago!! But at least I'm saving 2 now !! thank you soo much Kandee :))))))!

[xCelestex]

@ laluv2shop: no the glue is the rubbing alcohol

[laluv2shop]

I heard her say "glue" was in the dropper?? Is that right?

[StephaniexZhao]

@laluv2shop It's the rubbing alcohol. But she said glue because it's acting as a glue to keep the shadow together.

[Dayra7]

I did it with a mineralize skinfinish, the one that comes with many swirled color, it worked :)

[ThexDoctorsxLie]

Very helpful! But question: what about ones that are like, duo-shadows? D:

[imaLOVEglutton]

That was really helpful :) thanks!

[omgghaleigh13]

i like that plate ;)

[MyUsername156]

My dumbass just dropped my beloved bronzer, but it only took a bit of research and BAM this awesome video comes up. THANKS KANDEE!

[barbieegrllxoxo]

what was the stuff in the little squeeze container?

[BeYouNotHer]

DOes this work for like powder foundation and blushes and those things?

[ThexDoctorsxLie]

@BeYouNotHer I just tried it on a blush after watching this: yes.

[koolnina13]

AWESOME!!! THANKS!!!!

[VZBS]

what can u use instead of rubbing alchohol?

[YoBootyStinks]

why alcohol when you're going to put this shadow on your eyes. i don't mind waiting...

[MattysLilMello]

@YoBootyStinks it not only evaporates faster, it completely evaporates... you're not putting alcohol on your eyes later because its GONE...

[janitajasmin]

We dont have rubbing alcohol in Finland, so can i use 37% alcohol?

[bellaandpualove671]

can i just use water?

[xnomoshx]

@bellaandpualove671 Rubbing alcohol is extremely volatile which is why it works. Water doesn't evaporate as fast, so you will be waiting much longer!

[NViousBeauty]

I haven't broken a shadow in a long time, but now I'm prepared when it enevitably happens again! Thanks Kandee!!

[MegaTorillo]

nice tip! that hap´pens to me a lot I'm definitely gonna give it a try

[lululuvu]

does this work for pressed face powder too?

[makeupqueen059]

yes it does

[taylorswiftfan3456]

@lululuvu yes

[andrea080808]

i just discovered this video!!! this is perfect

[loapio]
