How to fix cracked pressed powder pan makeup?
CRACKED EYESHADOW
If you’ve ever had to put on your makeup in a rush, or are just plain clumsy (ahem), you’ve probably dropped an eyeshadow or maybe even a whole palette. When the product hits the floor, it’s typically a sad, broken, and crumbly mess. Fortunately, there are ways to salvage a broken pan of powder. All you need is a little isopropyl alcohol and some plastic wrap.

 

Try your best to gather all the broken pieces of powder and put them back in the pan, and then wind a piece of plastic wrap around it to keep the pieces in place. With your fingers, smash the eyeshadow through the plastic to create an almost loose-powder consistency. Then, unwrap it. Add a few drops of alcohol until the powder is saturated with liquid. Once the powder has a malleable texture, use a finger or a mini spatula to smooth it back into the pan. When it dries, your eyeshadow will be as good as new!

How do I care for my M·Y·O Cosmetic Case and Makeup Pods?

Your M·Y·O Cosmetic Clutch is made with durable material that can easily be wiped clean with a soft cloth.

M·Y·O Cosmetic Circlet and M·Y·O Makeup Pods: Wash with soap and water. Tip: A Q-tip assists to clean the inside of your M·Y·O Makeup Pods.

For Pro-Makeup Artists: Clean with 70% rubbing alcohol to sterilize all!

For Oily Products: To clean the inside of the Makeup Pods for oily products, put a bit of 99% rubbing alcohol in the base and top of Pod, then sterilize with 70% alcohol.
