MAKEUP DIYS & HACKS: HOW TO FIX BROKEN EYESHADOWS + POWDERS AND CONDENSE YOUR PALETTES TUTORIAL!

Who else has had this problem... you buy that highly coveted new palette of eyeshadows/ blushes/ highlighters... and your favourite shade inevitably smashes, ruining your makeup bag and your dreams 😖 Ugh! Read on for my tutorial on how to fix broken eyeshadows + powders! Saving you money, time and space❣️

Before I attended professional makeup school, smashed powders were one of my biggest beauty bug bears. The inconvenience, the wasted money and products.. the mess!!! Handbags and makeup bags full of smashed eyeshadows and powder means hours of cleanup, money wasted on replacement products and more clutter or unnecessary waste, which is never a friend to us or our planet! I may not be able to wave a magic wand that stops compact powders from breaking, as it's in the hands of the manufacturers to create packaging to prevent it, but I can pass on my knowledge, and teach you how to fix them when they do, as well as how to condense your powder palettes to minimise clutter! 

The highlighter set featured in the video is Pro Supreme Highlighter Gold by Revolution. I found no less than 5 of these half empty palettes in my sisters makeup bag, and was able to condense them into 2 full palettes using the techniques in my video 🤗

Now let's get to it and learn how to fix broken eyeshadows!

FX HACKS: INJURY SIMULATIONS USING BEAUTY MAKEUP

Hello my lovelies!! Welcome to the first of my new series of special FX makeup hacks and tutorials; "Injury Simulations Using Beauty Makeup"!

I've got so many fun tricks to show you, all of which can be adapted and built on to create many different FX, and all created using products found in most beauty makeup kits! You'll be a pro by the time Halloween comes around without having spent a penny!

So let's get stuck in to the first tutorial... cuts and scratches! 

* Apologies for the low video quality, it makes me sad, but I am restrained to using my phone while I raise funds for a decent camera. *

PRODUCTS

• PS...Beauty. Colour Corrector Concealer stick in "Lemon"
• Makeup Revolution. "Fierce as Fire" Eyeshadow/ Palette
• PS...Beauty. "Stay All Day" gel eyeliner (black)
• Makeup Revolution "Retro Luxe" Matte Liquid Lipstick in "Regal"
• MUA Luxe Velvet Matte Liquid Laquer in "Reckless"
• BARRY M "Berry Good" Lip Oil

TIPS

1. Use concealer, buffed out with a blender brush, to highlight around the area of the injury. This will simulate swelling. 
2. Use pink or well blended out red eyeshadow around the cut for "sore" skin
3. Outline the shape of the cut with eyeliner and a thin brush, before going over it with deep red eyeshadow. Eyeliner underneath red eyeshadow will add depth to the wound
4. Mix lipsticks to create a "blood" colour if your lipstick isn't the right shade. Apply with a thin brush. 
5. Use gloss/ lip oil to add shine to the "blood" and create the illusion of blood flow.

And there we have it! If you have a go at creating your own injuries, please share them/ tag me, I'd love to see them! And if you have any questions, requests or comments please leave them below!
