Remove Hard Film From Powder Makeup With Packing Tape
Over time, your bronzer, powder, or even eyeshadow can begin to harden. It’s not that fresh; it is not easy to apply. Next time the makeup has hardened, secure it with a small packing tape.
Refinery29 explains that if your eyeshadow or blush starts to lose its pigment, it’s likely due to a hard film forming on the surface. And sometimes you may just see that the surface of your makeup has hardened. It’s a little gross, but they explain that this is usually due to the accumulation of oil on the makeup brushes. Here’s how to fix them:
Often times, people just throw these foods away, but a strip of packing tape can save them.
Tear off a piece of packing tape and press firmly over the product. Then carefully peel off the tape and watch the main film peel off. That’s all. You are back in business.
