Many a time I have bought a baked beauty product used it for a couple of weeks to find that it has lost all it’s pigmentation. This can happen to any product that is baked; blush or eyeshadows as the natural oils from our face is then transferred on the brush/fingers and then the product.
These oils cause the top layer of the product to seal over time. In order to re-release the pigmentation you simply need to scrap of some of the top layer, I personally just use a clean (sterilized) pair of scissors to score into it.
Such a simple quick trick to save your baked products!
Would love to hear any other beauty tips/tricks you have in the comments below…

Love it! I need to do this to my Bourjois Chocolate bronzer which gives me nothing back nowadays!
The exact same thing happens to my chocolate bronzer. I rarely use it now – it's so annoying. I'll def be going through my products and giving them a good old scrape!

I had the same problem with my beloved MAC eyeshadow (in Quarry – a staple) and my brush wasn't picking any up at all, so I used sellotape! I put a strip sticky-side down on the shadow, peeled it off and the caked top layer of powder came with it. Worked like a charm, so glad I didn't have to buy a new one!

If you scratch the surface with a spoolie you'll lose less product

What a good tip! I'll have to do this with some of my eyeshadows!
I don't own anything baked so didn't realise that they could lose their pigmentation like that, I'll definitely bare this in mind if I buy any in the future as I have my eye on the Milani blushers 🙂 x

I had this problem with a baked foundation a few weeks ago and doing that definitely revived it….I'm a bit of a perfectionist sometimes though so it pained me to have to scrape bits of it away and alter the appearance of it haha. Great Post! 🙂

This also happened to me with regular blusher and bronzer. I also scrape a thin layer off, but not in a criss cross manner, but really a layer.
This has happened to me with Bourjois, Sleek, and Tarte products. It's a pain. Never with baked products from other brands like Milani or MAC, I wonder what makes products prone to it specifically. I usually scrape/wipe with a paper towel because it's rough enough but doesn't waste that much product. xx
Really good tip! Will deffo be doing this in the future!

This keeps happening to my Estee Lauder bronzer, which isn't even a baked product! So irritating when I spent so much on it. I mean I just keep scraping off the top layer but I feel like I'm throwing my money away!x
Ooo never knew about this… Thank you!!
