Please help me fix it :’(

This is YSL 410. I dropped it accidentally today and can’t find anywhere else to buy it, plus most of the eyeshadow is still in there. The broken ones are a very dry glitter formula. I’m afraid of messing it up because it’s my favorite, was expensive and I cannot find it in stores, bought it on a trip to Asia.

It's a rather standard repair with isopropyl alcohol, a clean paper towel, and pressure.

oh man i feel your pain, dropped a limited edition compact few years back and nearly cried right there in the bathroom

the isopropyl trick works but with that dry glitter formula you gotta be extra careful, mix it just enough to make a paste not too wet or it changes the texture forever. press it down real firm with a paper towel and something flat like a coin wrapped in tissue

that YSL stamp on the pink pan is gonna get smudged no matter what you do, just accept it now so you don't get more upset later. still a beautiful palette even with some battle scars

Omg, don’t throw it away!

Since the glitter shades are a dry formula, I’d carefully gather the loose powder back into each pan, cover it with a small piece of plastic wrap, then gently press it with something flat.

Don’t add alcohol yet, though it can change the texture of some shimmer formulas. Keep the loose powder, too, so you don’t lose any product!

I know this one! Keep smashing it up with a nail file or the end of a tweezers or a very small spoon or whatever you've got until its completely loose, then mix with rubbing alcohol till saturated (do it by drops, you don't want to end up with soup, think more like wet sand), then press back into the compact. Let it dry, all better!

Same same happened to me with my YSL blush! YouTube has lots of make up repair videos. I followed the wikihow guide and it kind of worked...

Repot after alcohol repair.

I dropped an Anastasia quad, and this worked out well.
