Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Lay a sheet of cling film over the broken powder in its pan.
  2. Gently crush the pieces with the spatula until you have fine, loose powder.
  3. Add a few drops of 70% alcohol using the pipette—start with 3-4 drops to gauge, up to 10 as needed for a moist consistency.

  5. Refine the edges and allow it to dry for a few hours. It'll look as good as new.
