I've depotted at least 90 shadows and this has never happened to my eyeshadows. I'd be so mad if it did happen! I think you've already tried everything I was going to suggest, I think you ruined it more with the fix+ though

The same thing has happened to me with Shroom and Kid. The only thing I did that seemed to work is scraping off the top layer using a spoolie. I have a feeling this happens to a lot of matte shadows because it also happened to my ONLY Emote blush! :-( I think it's caused by overheating.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday when I depotted Embark. I don't think I can even take it back since it's already depotted. I have depotted so many matte eyeshadows, but this has never happened to me before. There is absolutely zero colour payoff. I am really mad
