I tried just pushing back together in the compact but it keeps breaking back apart

No, I only have hydrogen peroxide, and maybe rubbing alcohol.

Depending on the brand. Some larger high end brands will send you a brand new one out if you tell then it broke while using it

There are tutorials on YouTube to repair your broken eyeshadows/blushes/compacts. Etc. you'll need isopropyl alcohol to mend it back together.

It helps to press it down with some sort of cloth or paper towel after you put alcohol in it

Hi Elsie,

Don't worry, just like all the other ladies said, it is usually salvagable with rubbing alcohol (peroxide won't work for this). Beautylish actually has a step by step tutorial on how to remedy your situation:

Ok I didn't have anything so I just used water, I think I might have ruined it now :( I've been tampering with it for like an hour :/
