Getting the Most From A Powder When You've Hit Pan

There are numerous terrible things about hitting pan on your favorite powder beauty products... the three worst are:

1) Knowing that your product is running out and that you're going to have to spend money on a replacement
2) Wondering whether you will even be able to find the same item in store because beauty companies just love discontinuing desirable items for some reason
3) Not being able to access the product as you used to with a normal powder brush

These were my thoughts exactly when I spotted the silver circle beginning to grow in the bottom of my pink Coralista box blush by benefit. Rather than crying and throwing all of my toys out of the pram though, I decided to make the most of my remaining product by turning it into a loose powder (which usually has better colour pay-off than baked powders in my opinion anyway) and re-potting it into a little container which I actually managed to get free from benefit once with a foundation sample in it. Here's how I did it...
