This is a Bourjois eyeshadow in Blanc Diaphane
As you can see the eyeshadow tray has fallen out and the product had started to crack and crumble.
I decided to put the product direct in the pot instead of back on the tray it came with because the tray was made of wood so it would not work as well. I used some hand sanitiser to just clean the pot it came with before putting the rest of the product back in.
I then scraped the product back into the original tray using scissors. If it is already in the tray you want to use just mash the product up finely.
The product crumbled back into the original pot and empty wooden tray.
You will just need a few drops of alcohol. It is better to use more concentrated alcohol but I only had vodka which is 40% so I decided that would have to do.
It just needs a few drops
Then I put some plastic wrap over the product and pushed the product around to make a smooth paste. You could just use your fingers or a stick to do this but I didn't want to get too messy.
I then tried to blow dry it, I don't think this step is worth doing unless you are in a rush because it hardly dried out this way. I wouldn't bother with this step if I did this again.
It was still a paste after blow drying!
I tried squeezing the alcohol out with a cotton wool pad. This was much more successful and most of the excess alcohol came off with this step!
It did however leave a weird imprint in my product but after a few uses this will flatten out again.
After leaving it for another hour it was dry again and not cracked so could be put safely back into my makeup bag!
As you can see here, the product is still just as pigmented. In fact i actually think this process increased the pigmentation of the product as I pressed it firmly so the product became slightly denser.
