I’ve listed a few different ways in which you can reuse your fragmented eyeshadow, just like you would use any other brand new product. Read on and can thank me later.
5 Ways To Repurpose Your Broken Eyeshadow Palette
From using your smashed eyeshadow on your cheeks to applying it on your eyes, there’s so much you can do with the product! For instance:
As blush
Your eyeshadow palette might be broken into pieces but that doesn’t mean you cannot mix the colours up and use the resulting hue as a blush instead. In fact, you can make a mix of 2-3 shades from the palette to create different shades of blush, as per your skin tone.

This one’s a quick and simple hack. All you need to do is crush each eyeshadow finely and mix it with some petroleum jelly. Voilà, you have a whole new collection of new lip colours at your disposal. You’re welcome!
As coloured eyeliner
This is your chance to spice up your eyeliner collection by making them right out of your broken eyeshadow! You just need to add a few drops of baby oil to the finely crushed eyeshadow powder and mix the two till you get a lump-free mixture with eyeliner-like consistency. So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your angled brushes and start painting your eyes rainbow!
As eye gloss
This is one of the easiest ways to get them trendy glossy eyes. All you need to do is put one drop of baby oil on the broken eyeshadow and apply it to your eyelids with a brush. It will add shine, colour as well as nourishment to your eyelids, all in one stroke.
As nail polish
All you have to do is finely crush the shade from your palette that you want to see on your nails and add it to a bottle of clear nail paint. Shake it well and let it rest for a couple of hours. Your customised nail polish is ready to be used. Make as many nail polishes as you like without any extra cost!
