Who are these people who fix broken palettes and melt lipsticks?
set out to interview six different beauty repair content creators, but none of them answered our request for comment. We're not sure why they're so elusive, but Spinnato guesses they're cosmetics chemists or"Lab time can cost around $500 for an hour," Spinnato says. "When you see them refurbish a compact, that process takes about two hours. So it's about $1,000 [worth of lab time] to get these videos done.
Cosmetic chemist and research and development director for SOS Beauty Nick Dindio adds that "the people who are repairing cosmetics definitely know what they are doing. The equipment isn't difficult for the average person to get their hands on, but there are quite a few different tools and machinery that they are using that would be quite expensive," he says. "For this reason, I don't think the average consumer would have the ability to repair cosmetics like this at home.
"I know it's attempting to salvage things when it's broken, but makeup is not something you want to mess around with, especially when it comes to eye shadows for potential infection."
