MAC's Pink Cult depot FAIL!!!!! HELP!!!!!

[Piarpreet]

So guys depotting this blush it shattered and when I tried repressing it into its pan I used alcohol but again it cracked. I mixed the powder with alcohol set it and let it be with some weight on top to be pressed when dry all night. this is the condition of the blush right now and I dont know what to do!!!!!

I wanted to get rid of the packaging cos I'm moving back to Spain and wanted but put my blushes in palettes

Sorry about that. I would try pressing again, and if it doesn't work, put it in a jar as it certainly won't survive air travel. At least, it's better to have it in piggie form than completely shattered upon arrival.

This is going to seem counterproductive...but if you want it to look smooth and pretty again, scrape the blush out of the pan and into a ziploc baggie, then smack the crap out of it with a rolling pin until it's powdered. Add some isopropyl alcohol into the bag and mix it up then cut the corner of the bag and squeeze it back into the pan like icing. Make sure all the powder is saturated and smooth on the top and leave it to dry overnight. In the morning if it's too powdery spray it with a TINY bit of alcohol, put some fabric over it, and press it down with a c-clamp. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Hope I helped

Isn't there a better medium than just alcohol?

If I were you, I'd see it in plastic and then repress it once you are in Spain.

 

[Piarpreet]

that's what i did lol. I'm scared cos i love it but i think alcohol doesnt work good with matte textures....

It shouldn't make a bit difference, but some products are just more difficult to repress.

alcohol should work.. ive repressed a matte blush and it still works great

That's what i did it with, though
