How I depot powder makeup

Supplies:
Heat source (in my case my stove), foil, 2 tweezers, butter knife, magnet (I cut up pieces from free business card magnets that I collect for this purpose)

Caution:
Items will be hot to the touch and burning plastic smells strongly. Well ventilated area is recommended.

Instructions:
Turn on your electric stove (medium to medium-high). Place a piece of foil on the burner. Pop out the eyeshadow from the compact by wedging knife into it. Place eyeshadow and compact onto foil. Pay close attention as the plastic melts quickly. First, check on the compact. When the edge of the label peels, it's time to take it off with tweezers. Put label to the side. Second, using tweezers, lift up eyeshadow & check underneath it. Once it has a tiny hole melted through it, it is ready to be manipulated. Turn it upside down (do it off of the burner), and with tweezers press gently down on the pan. The side of the plastic will pry away from pan. Now, use tweezers to pull out pan from plastic. The glue is still gummy so stick a piece of magnet to the pan then the label over the magnet. You're done!

Alternatives:
You don't have an electric stove? You can use a frying pan on a gas stove. You can use an electric grill but I recommend changing the grill plate to the griddle plate. Always use foil--the plastic melts and gets messy and the glue is gummy. You can even try the burner on the coffee maker!

This method works for any brand of powder makeup. See my mixed palette--The Body Shop, Loreal, Body & Soul, Maybelline, Max Factor, Clinique, Dior to name a few.

Any questions, please contact me.

You're welcome!

you don't need to do that for body shop... there's  hole at the bottom so all you have to do is poke through it to get the eyeshadows out

[equus418]

The new silver compacts for the Body Shop does have a hole so you're right. But the old packaging, the black ones didn't. I depotted the old ones. Thank you for your comment and attentiveness!

@mrsfreak2you Yes, that's why I say in the description box to do it in a well-ventilated area. It only takes less than 5 min. anyway. Thanks for watching!
