So my inspiration for this post was that my beloved Carbon eyeshadow broke during my most recent move. Luckily, there is a way to fix your broken shadows, so you don’t have to go spend money on a new one! 

1. Crush up all of the remaining shadow in the pot (I know, how scary!) until it reaches a powdery consistency. The finer you crush the shadow, the nicer it will turn out in the end. 
2. Pour a little rubbing alcohol into the shadow pot with the crushed eyeshadow and stir until it is a thick paste. If you happen to pour too much, you will just have to wait longer for it to all evaporate, but its not the end of the world. If you didn’t know rubbing alcohol can be found at your local drug store for around $2.00. 
3. Due to all the stirring you have just done, the surface of the eyeshadow might not be flat. To flatten it out, simply but carefully drop the eyeshadow pot onto a table or other hard surface, until it flattens out. 
4. Next you wait 2-3 hours, or until the shadow is almost all the way dry.
5. Once the shadow is mostly dry, place a tissue over the shadow and place a coin over the tissue and press down on the coin to tightly compact the eyeshadow.
6. And then you have a brand new eyeshadow!
