Shattered blush? Busted lipstick? Don't toss that broken makeup yet, says beauty expert Sandy Gold. Breathe new life into your damaged goods with these simple DIYs.

Problem: Shattered Blush

Solution: Crush your broken blushes together in a dollar-store container (with lid) to create your own custom blend!

Problem: Cracked Compact

Solution: Take this opportunity to create your own highlighting powder! Crush powder as you did blush and combine with shimmer powder for the perfect illuminator.

Problem: Busted Lipstick

Solution: Pop the sticks into pillbox containers and presto! You've got a custom lip palette. Don't forget to use a lipbrush to apply.
