Hi, I'm Alexandra. I believe life can be both glorious, tricky and even painful.. which we all know. Beauty is a practice I have enjoyed from early childhood as a way to build my confidence in myself. Not just on "special" occasions, but in my every day life and decision making. On my CZcams channel I show you practical steps and psychology to understand and apply methods in all areas of beauty; inclding fashion, makeup, hairstyling and femininity, to help us evolve and transform into our personal visions. I believe when a girl feels good about herself, she can make better choices for herself in ALL areas of life. Welcome to my channel, I'm glad you found me.

My wife accidentally dropped her blush, so now I’m watching this to surprise her and fix it! Thanks for this!
you are such a king omg 😭😭
Here you dropped this 👑
I’m here for the thoughtful kings and partners taking care of their Queen 💛
So how did it go????
@@Gem12376 she was so surprised and thrilled! It came out perfect and she was able to use it for almost another month!
I'm here for the wife. I am going to surprise her with fixing her favorite foundation. THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤
Update, it worked great! She's loving it like it's new again. Thanks everyone for the likes.
not all heroes wear capes
This is so sweet, thoughtful yet simple gesture. 🙌🏽
Wtf that’s so sweet 🥲 we stan a thoughtful king 👑
Do you have a twin? Clone? .... Asking for a friend...
This is the cutest thing ever ❤
I threw away some broken eyeshadow last week because of the mess it created in my case 😭. I wish this came sooner! Thank you very much for the tip!
I love Alexandra, but i need to tell u that these techniques are very old and a base of everyone who uses make up. I am shocked that u threw everything away
@@fa.ben-beauty1621 she just said she didn’t know about this that’s why she threw it away
My 9 year old broke my Anastasia Beverly Hills Limited Edition Moon Child Highlighter Palette and i was legit in tears. I kept it because i didnt have the heart to throw it out. I just watched your video and finally fixed it like new. Thank you girl! ❤❤
Hey, great tutorial! One improvement suggestion: if you have parchment or wax paper you could put a piece over the surface wax-side down as you smooth the semi-dry surface it to keep from picking up/using product. Thanks again!
Thx I’ll try this!!
When I was a teenager, I dropped my blush and ruined it. I tried this hack, but it didn't work. I didn't know I had to chop up the big pieces and then press the powder back into shape. This was way before the internet, so no experts to ask, just word of mouth. I just continued to use the broken blush, but it was messy! I'm really glad for online tutorials.
I dropped my limited MAC cosmetics eyeshadow palette this morning…. And went right into DIY repair videos. Everytime some of your make-up breaks, it takes a bit of your heart with it 😅 thank you for this video!
I want to do a holiday makeup look for the end of the year 😍 any specific looks you want to see? ❤️✨
Having "glamorous yet subtle" look in mind ✨
Always a pleasure to watch your contents, enjoy your holiday celebrations 🥳
i love a good red lip
I want to look good but I always end up looking frumpy if I am less careful and meticulous. I would like to look elegant so to say and in the holiday spirit without having to put a dress on. Minimalist yet classy even when I am just celebrating at home.
Would love an elegant/classy festive look! Also a note on how to tailor it to hooded eyes would be amazing 💕
I have like no ledges on my eye lids. Like there’s no room for me to put eyeliner on the actual edge of my eyelid bc there’s so many hairs there lol. Any tips?
That's how the way I do my own eyeshadow- and face-palettes. You can mix the powders to get new colours. Or make one product out of a few rests. Or mix highlighter with matt powders or eyeshadows. Or, or, or... So you can change every powder-products you don't like into new products which will be loved by you. That's also the way you can make/mix palette-products into singles-products (you can buy litte screw-top boxes in 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 ml). So you can take your products always with you and just need a small makeup-bag.
Be crative, you will love it. But: Sometimes it takes a few hours or 2-3 days until your new product is really dried (don't close your product until its really dried!). And while it dries you should press it (every time after a few hours, 4-8 times in one day).
Wow, those are excellent ideas! I'm gonna totally customize my shades now.. thank you so much for the great tips😃👍
You've got some fantastic ideas there and you've inspired me to try all of them actually lol So thanks!! 😊💜
Wow, this is great info, love it!
My mom accidentally dropped my makeup bag and the only thing that broke was my rare beauty highlighter, this is so helpful ❤
omg my rare beauty highlighter broke too! they must be really
fragile
My rare beauty blush just broke 😢 I didn’t even drop it, but left it in my purse and forgot it was in there
My blush highlighter from rare beauty broke
@@kaylie.sears.mine too, i just bought it yesterday!!
Two things, a powdered Blush and a Bronzer. And yes this worked great. I empitied broken contents of each into individual ziploc sandwich bags to make it easier to crush. Then cleaned up the compacts really well. I put the powders back into their compacts and followed all of your mixing directions. It worked and now both products are usable again, and looks almost new. Thanks again!!
It feels so unreal to have this many updates from you in such a short time, your content is worth waiting for so take your time if you need it. 💖
I had one of the shades in a new eyeshadow pallet come broke. I don't want to go through the hassle of refunding it and getting a new one so I'm hoping I can just fix it. Right now I'm on the hunt around my house for 99.9% isopropyl alcohol.
Edit: Did not find isopropyl alcohol. According to my father is barely exists. Attempting with 70% instead. Will update.
Update: It worked! Good as new!
Yes!! Thank you for this! I wish this video was sooner! A couple of months ago, I had to throw out my beloved Phyisicans Formula translucent powder with tears pouring down! Now, I know for next time I can save it!
I just dropped a nearly brand new Stila highlighter and it hurt my heart so much! You just fixed my broken heart! Thank you!
this is such a good idea. honestly, I don't feel the need to fix it because..broken makeup still works lol but this trick can come in handy if you broke someone ELSE'S make up
🤣🤐😉
I broke one of my shadows in a Charlotte tilbury palette that was like $80 cause I stupidly brought it when traveling despite knowing it’s so delicate lol I haven’t been using it because of the mess. Plus I was sad cause it was of course the prettiest shade. THANK YOU
I've done this many times and it works!
The first time was a pressed power that costed me $20(lot to me!). I dropped it the day after I bought it. This trick saved the day and my temper!
This trick comes in handy when you're down to your last bit of power in one or more compacts too. Or if you need to mix 2 shades to get the perfect color.
I ordered Rare Beauty Positive Light highlighter online and I did store pick up. When I got home and opened it I soon discovered it was completely smashed:(
So they apologized and said they’d send me a new one and deliver it to my home. Haven’t received it yet. They didn’t ask me to return the broken one. Sono thought I’d give this DIY for myself. Thanks for the great video. I’m about to fix it now:)
YOU JUST FIXED MY ENTIRE LIFE. Just did this to a NEW and EXPENSIVE bronzer I dropped on the floor and my heart was crushed. This video made my day. The bronzer is back, alive and well now. I love you! Lol
this makes me so happy!
This is amazing! I feel like now I know something I shouldn't! 😍💄
Omg you really are a lifesaver I’m so happy you’re uploading again!! Xxx
This is probably going to sound meaner than I'm intending it, but I really preferred it when you uploaded less often but your content was really insightful and unique. You've been uploading more frequently lately but a video like this has been done to death! I watch you for beauty and style takes that I can't find anywhere else, and I think you're at your best when you're getting analytical about how to look your best with minimal effort, not making overdone life hack videos for the sake of the algorithm. Going weeks or months between videos isn't a problem when you're making great content that only you can make!
Short vidéos like this can be useful to other women who don't spend hours online and didn't see those overdone life hack videos, like myself. I didn't know about this trick and thanks to Alexandra I learned something new today. Her content is still insightful and unique because she is unique.
Going months between videos is senseless for a content creator and not beneficial to subscribers. If you don't like the video, just skip it.
You probably didn’t mean it this way but I feel the need to stick up for her because some time CZcamsrs don’t get treated like they are not real people with reel problems, real emotionals, or real bills. Asking her to stop doing videos “for the sake of algorithm” Is incredibly unfair because
At the end of the day this is how she puts a roof over hers and her babies head. I’m sure you meant well and are. great person I just want you to understand the perspective of how things are for her it is the equivalent of if someone came to your work and asked you to take a less paying task instead because it would be more entertaining for them.
I care for her dearly and I can say that she’s an amazing human and she cares so deeply for you her audience and I’m sure she’s not stopping making her regular long videos they just take time and this short for content in bewtween her big videos is really helping her out. Again I’m not trying to give you a hard time just really want you to understand plus there seems to be countess of ppl who enjoy these vidoes.
I get where you're coming from. I think there are lots of people who will appreciate the newer shorter videos and concepts, though, and I think it's a bit unfair to assign a petty 'just for the algorithm' motive. Maybe these work better with her schedule/life changes, or maybe she's covering topics someone has requested. I'm just glad she's back.
I just repaired my Laura Mercier blusher - which I was gutted about for WEEKS after it broke, it's turned out perfect THANK YOU!
This is great idea, awesome. Some of this makeup costs big money. Well done young lady.
Yes! This trick saved me when my toddler grabbed my new blush compact and dropped it.
To those who are commenting that they recently tossed broken products because they didn’t know it was possible to re-press powder cosmetics - I’m surprised they hadn’t heard of this technique before! This tip has been posted and posted and posted on social media for years and years. Similar to how the “use a lighter to gently melt broken lipstick to stick back together” tip has also been posted around social media for many years.
I’m not one to toss out perfectly good products, so even if I wasn’t aware of this tip, I’d use my powder products in broken form. Before that however, I would have Googled “How to fix broken makeup”, as intuition would have told me that going from “broken powder bits” to “pressed powder form” doesn’t seem like a very difficult conversion. Tossing makeup would only happen if the product spilled onto carpet and was not able to be collected or if something spilled into the powder compact , making the product un-useable entirely.
Hmm, there are so many beauty “hacks” out there that have been posted in endless videos, making me think that anyone who consumes any beauty CZcams content MUST know them all backwards and forewords. However, seeing the number of people who are just learning the info in this video which, to me, is a super well-known, basic hack, is surprising.
Common sense is split by bioavailability and culture (education+critical thinking being the biggest factor yet the most divided )
The lightbulbs just are easier to connect if things are in the right place
Superiority much? All while slamming this Alexandra for her work.
Lol I agree... I've seen this thousands of times before. This ain't nothing new 😂
@@buttonsbebe And helping waste people's time by using 100s of words where a few (or zero) would do.
Just tried this last night with two loreal products and it worked so well!!! Agree with another commenter suggesting wax parchment paper. Thank you so much! 😊
Dropped my Laura Geller bronzing compact so thanks!
& very glad to have found yours, simple neat system with a "wash your hands first" recommendation
I LITERALLY broke my 40$ discontinued Becca Opal Highlighter 😭 this is the only high end makeup I own… classic. So I guess I was meant to come across the video 😅😉
Please show us how to fix broken lipsticks! I tried to use a lighter to melt and stick it back together and then put it in the freezer, but that didn’t work.
I broke a lipstick the other day and had to put in a little jar to save it. Really makes it inconvenient to use now.
Dropped my Rare Beauty highlighter compact and I scooped up all the pieces. I will be doing this DIY today!
i got the same one !! mine just came today broken though 😭😭
babe wake up alexandra uploded!!!!
My boyfriend always drops my make up on the floor when he opens the bathroom window due to me storing my make up there , he broke well over 5 pallets that weren't cheap and this video is the only reason he's still alive 😊.. thank u ..
I love that you're back on your feet ❤️
I just dropped my powder foundation and broke it. I fixed it the way you said and it’s good as new thank you❤
love the alcohol trick, have been using it for years) although I suggest during in the alcohol first and then breaking down the chunks, it prevents the powder from flying everywhere
Can I use normal alcohol?
@@eloiseripley wdym normal?
@@leylarustamova Is it okay to use 70% ethyl alcohol?
thank you!! i dropped my literal brand new (got it literally yesterday) soft pinch rare beauty powder blush and it completely broke. this helped, thanks!!
Only been wearing makeup for a year, so thankfully I haven't had this happen yet... But, it's in my bookmarks for when it inevitably does! x
Does can any percentage of alcohol work? Or does it have to be the highest %? I wanna make sure I do it right so I don’t mess up my favorite discontinued powder any further. Thank you! :)
Ayo this is the best how to video for fixing pan makeup and I watched A LOT of them before I came across this one. This one is far superior love this,, I automatically subscribed 💝
Broke one of my favorite blushes while traveling… thank you for this!
My kiddo broke an eyeshadow by accident when she accidentally dropped it. Your video just helped make a little girl very happy. (It's for playtime only, beats her coloring on her face with marker)
Thank you! I just saved my Charlotte Tilbury blush with this technique and turned out looking pretty 💖
I went on vacation list week and took my brand new Anastasia Primerose pallet. When I unpacked everything one of the pallets was crumbled and broken up. Thank you so much for this video. I will give this a try
Thanks! going to try t now. Sadly i threw away a Lisa Eldridge shadow. Now I'll save my Hourglass blush. No dramatic event- it just slipped off my dresser.
Incredibly helpful and great step by step. You’ve saved my favorite pressed powder! I’ve been tossing them all along. Beautiful video! ❤❤
Great video! You have a really relaxing and invitingly warm voice, yet very impactful! 😄🙌🏾☀️
I was just wondering, is it safe to use rubbing alcohol to restore broken powders if these products will be applied later on your skin or maybe even near your eyes? 😕🤔
Yes, the rubbing alcohol will evaporate ☺️✨
If you want to sanitize it you can put it under a strong uv light too. Annnd you can mix shades of powder to get your shade this way too
Thank you. My favorite blush dropped this morning and my heart broke. I’m going to do this when I get home. ❤❤❤
I broke my Mac studio fix powder over 3 times now , I love it so much and still use it 🙂
I’ll use this to transfer some highlighter and eyeshadow from an otherwise used up Korres sea minerals palette into a new small container because I don’t want to keep using the large two-thirds empty component. Thank you!
I wish I knew this everytime my eyeshadow broke! Amazing hack 😊
I wish I would've found this video sooner! My 2-year old son loves breaking all my favorite makeup. I guess there's something about the texture that appeals to him, because he joyfully digs his little fingers right into my palettes. When he does, he grins so big and the twinkle in his eye is beyond cute...but it hurts my heart so bad!
I've caught him in the act - just in time to watch my shadows crumble, in some kind of agonizing slo-mo...I've heard him quietly sneaking about, and discovered his hands are covered with some odd color -->> "oh wait, that's pigment!"...he's even given me the sneak attack - I found out what he did later on, when I went to use something he got ahold of.
I think I'm down to one palette now that he hasn't annihilated. He either loves or hates things that have odd textures - and makeup is definitely one of his favorite things to smoosh. I don't think I'll ever be able to replace everything he's gotten into - it was basically my lifelong collection -- but that's what I get for stepping out of the room for a moment, I suppose. 😭💔🤦♀🤷♀
I just broke a limited edition shimmer sun kissed blush by MAC. Had it for years, it was my fav. I'm def gonna try this!! Thanks :)
Pretty sure she did a video just like this years ago. Same info.
My favorite drug store brand WetnWild blush/highlighter! I buy these in bulk and love them all! But I dropped one and it splattered blush and highlighter together😒so I simply made a new shade, a blushy highlighter!
I needed this!! Thank you 💖
You're so welcome!❤
I tried fixing it with alcohol but the powder formula really changes 😢
You changed my life
Ur my bigger sister, u teach me a lot thank you!
Dropped my brand new rare beauty blush as I was putting it away. I’m hoping this works tomorrow morning when I can get to it
My eyeshadow compact broke it was a long time usually if I knew about this hack sooner I probably will I fix it … can’t wait to try this hack … 💕
I hope you love it when you do!!! 💗
Omg thank you!!! Dropped my Victoria frkn Beckham eyeshadow and I’m always scared of dropping more when I open it.. :(
This is awesome!! Thank you so much. Very clearly explained as well!😊

I broke my favorite highlighter 😭 soo shimmery and beautiful. I remember seeing this hack a long time ago and when this broke I knew I had to find it again!!
Love it!! Thank you! My fave blush/lip color - Sweet cheeks - keeps breaking!
You could also put the pieces of broken makeup in a pill crusher and pour back in to compact.
My Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic blush had been broken. Thank you for the video, I will try to fix it
My favourite Bronzer broke, I need to fix it. They don't even sell it anymore!! Thanks for your tip!!

Thank you I had to look this up because this just happened right now. I remember seeing this on my feed. I still refer to your how to curl your hair vid.
Thank you so much for watching ❤️✨
can I use ethyl alcohol 90%? will it work the same? is it safe on the skin once it evaporates?
Dropped Laura geller bronzer. It's so nice. Thank you I will try this.
My charlotte tilbury blush lol i'll try this on it thanks!
One of mine broke too! Just curious how to do it and keep the two colors separate...

I watched your old video on this just a few days ago because i broke my highlighter. Good timing
You just saved my fave eyeshadow-thank you!!
Love you girl !!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Rare beauty highlighter 😭😭 literally my favorite highlighter
Am watching this and fixing my Huda beauty Glowish pressed powder

Omg you should cover depotting!
A really expensive highlighter flrw out of my makeup bag and now it's completely shattered and the lid hinge broke too 😭 the highlighter had a pretty design too :((
Edit: found the broken hinge piece so hopefully I can fix it
Yay you’re making videos again 😊
I really missed your content. I always get a lot out of your videos.
Alexandra! This video is the best!
I dropped my brand new rare beauty highlighter blush in the shade happy I was devastated
Guys i just tried this trick and it workedddd! OMG. 💗
Going to try this!
Works like a charm, Tysvvm!!
Fixed an eyeshadow this morning. Thank you ❤
Thank you💖 I broke my charlotte tilbury blush 😩
Thank you my fave teracota blush fixed!
Thank you!
QUESTION: Can I use 91% alcohol.?? It’s always the expensive powder make-up that breaks😢 I just broke my Serafine botanicals diamond highlighter. I was bummed until I found this video.
Found this on another how to fix it post on Pinterest.. 🙂
Tip: Use at least 70% rubbing alcohol. The higher the percentage, the faster it will dry.
Yay I'm early! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Thank you so much for sharing❤
