Materials required: Broken lipstick, shea butter, microwavable bowl and lipstick container. 

Steps- 

• Step 1- Take a microwavable bowl and scoop out all the broken lipstick. 
• Step 2- Add 1 tbsp of shea butter to the bowl. You can also use cocoa butter as a substitute . 
• Step 3- Microwave it for about 10 seconds. 
• Step 4- Take it out and stir a bit with a toothpick, to ensure there are no lumps in it. 
• Step 5- Let the mixture cool down at room temperature. Once cooled, the mixture will thicken on its own.

• Step 7- Refrigerate it for a few hours. 

Voila! Your all new lipstick is ready for use. You can also mix 2-3 different shades of leftover lipsticks and create a new lip shade for yourself as well.

Broken Compact

Breaking your favourite compact powder or eyeshadow palette could be a real heartbreak. You need not use the broken one, when you can fix it in a jiffy. 

Materials required: Broken compact, knife, rubbing alcohol and paper towel. 

Steps-

• Step 1- First of all, powder the compact properly using a knife or a pointed object. 
• Step 2- Once done, put it back in the compact slot and flatten it out using your finger. 
• Step 3- Use rubbing alcohol and press it down, while levelling it out. Add 1-2 tbsp of rubbing alcohol, depending on the quantity of your powder. 
• Step 4- Leave the compact to dry for at least 30 minutes. This will give rubbing alcohol enough time to evaporate. 
• Step 5- Once dry, cover the compact with a paper towel and press down using another bottle. 
• Step 6- Keep pressing it gently, so as to let it solidify. 

Once done, your compact will turn out to be as good as new. It will give the right coverage and pigmentation as before.

The same process can be used to fix broken blush powder, highlighters, bronzers, contour powder and even eyeshadows.
