    Alot of you are asking about alternatives as was I. I tried water and the powder I was fixing actually rejects the water, it stayed as little bubbles and refused to blend. Dug out my rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm - just a heads up for anyone else who was thinking of trying water. Thanks for the vid liveloveglam!

      @@helloitsme1952 no, it will alter the cosmetic and it will not apply the same.
      91% isopropyl alcohol is the best

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've watched other tutorials on UA-cam on this as a blush I ordered arrived crushed to smithereens and the color is sold out, but I couldn't even get through them because they were so annoying and drawn out. Your tutorial was direct and not annoying at all. :)

    This is exact what I needed! I use a powder foundation and I always end up with the middle of it gone before the edges. I knew about alcohol and eyeshadow but I was unsure about using it on foundation. Now I can transfer it into a smaller compact and finish it! Thanks!

    Wow! How did you come up with that?? I just fixed 3 of my mostly used compact powders by crumbling it and putting it in clear bathroom/makeup containers. I think I'll do this to them. ...and if the compact is pretty and has a big mirror I usually break the mirror off too If I need it.

    Thanks for sharing. I guess it can vary depending on your skintype.. *shrugs* because that didn't happen to me i didn't break out at all. Do you have sensitive skin?

  • @imgrii2794
    @imgrii2794 7 років тому

    I totally forgot about this method. I need to get some rubbing alcohol to fix my bronzer. Im so glad i ended up in this video tho.
    Btw do i need to wait for the product to dry a bit before i pressed the tissue on top, if yes then how long tho? And thanks 🙏🏼

  • @ilinaeternity
    @ilinaeternity 10 років тому

    Awesome tip, thank you so much for sharing! Do you think that most of the alcohol evaporates, and so very little alcohol remains? I want to try this, but I have dry skin and am a little hesitant since alcohol is said to be drying.

    • @liveloveGlam
      @liveloveGlam  10 років тому

    Really love the loose powder idea bc lately I've had a few that broke. The only thing is you need a container to use as a loose makeup.... Right?just need to find one. I have an illuminating powder that broke and I think it will be pretty as a loose powder.

  • @XbunniesXsayXrawrX
    @XbunniesXsayXrawrX 11 років тому

    Is it normal for the product to smell like rubbing alcohol afterwards? Not sure if I put too much (two capfuls, didn't think I put enough in because it wasn't stirring to a proper consistency!), with an almost full NARS compact blush.
    I just took off a lot of bright pink pigment (even though I have the colour Orgasm and it looks a lot darker in the case) with a kleenex and I'm leaving it open to air-dry completely tonight, but I'm worried there's still a lot of rubbing alcohol in it? :/

    Somehow I ended up having more product when crushed so I used a bigger pot and while it was still wet I used a round sponge to make it smoother. I'm letting it dry now. Thank you so much, it was VERY useful!

    • @kitten_purrrs73
      @kitten_purrrs73 8 років тому +1

      u don't have to worry too much how smooth it is....cuz u put tissue paper down to "press" the powder which removes most the alcohol AND makes it smooth 😊...just thought I'd mention that so your not working so hard to make it perfect when the next step of absorbing by pressing pretty much does that for you :)

    • @gabryellam11
      @gabryellam11 8 років тому

      Lisa Heideman I had some problems with the tissue paper, that´s why I used a sponge, but maybe I did something wrong, at the end it dried though. Thank you so much! :)

    I'm not sure for all powders, but yes it did change the original state for the powder i showed. It made it more "powdery".

    Out of the majority of How To videos I e just watched, ur method makes more spence. 1st, like you I would do water either. Also, u took powder out & put in bag (s/u have to do in a box like a p pallet, it will stain the card board packaging). You also patted the pan to get bubbles out & then let sit 1 hour (not overnight). And then you came back, added a bit more alcohol & press out. The other videos I was were mess; didn't pat, didn't press to get all the alchol out, and go back in like u did. KUDOS!
