Is there hope after dropping a compact?

I'm so mad, I knocked a new Clinique bronzer compact on the floor while blow-drying this morning. It's all broken

Do you keep using your makeup after it's dropped and gotten all messy? Or do I have to toss this and get a new one?

Ugh!

I did the same thing with a brand new clinique compact.

I brought it back to the store. I told them it was my fault I dropped it but I wanted to see if they could do anything to help me out. The lady at the counter exchanged it for a brand new one.

If my bronzer is old and breaks I still continue to use it. I only use it at home though. You only make the mistake of carrying a broken bronzer in your bag once!

Re-press it. Break it all up, mix in a few drops of alcohol, press down on it with something the same size as the pan and then let it dry.

For example...
