Broken eyeshadow?

I tried to search for this topic and nothing came up, so sorry if this is a repeat question.

I was depotting my Parrot e/s today and go figure, it broke. The first e/s to ever break on me while depotting.

A big chunk fell out and the rest looked all cracked, so I just used a spoon and broke the whole thing up into a chunky powder and put it in a sample jar.

My question is, that shouldn't change how the shadow comes out when I use it from now on, right? It will still look and act the same...I hope?

Thanks!

No it shouldn't change its look because you'll put some powder of the e/s on your brush and out it on you eyes...

But you can use some 70%-alcohol, out it one the powder and put it back in its pan, press it in a little bit and you have an e/s again!

it will be same..just not all in one peice..like VV said..get some of that alchol and let it sit and it should dry together and be all new again. Or you can just crush it up like a pigment and use it that way..it won't make any diffrence in the eyeshaow color at all. Hope that helps..sorry about your parrot e/s

does the alcohol change anything about the e/s? i would think teh e/s would smell or something?

Has anyone else that's used alcohol to reassemble an e/s found that the e/s stays more fragile? I've done this twice now , and one crubled soon after (Ricepaper, I think), so I'm very careful with the other.
