+313 It's about time someone figured out how to make powder compacts more shock-resistant, because we're tired of finding the "rim" of powder broken and all over the inside of our purses, amirite?

No shit! I fucking hate that. I probably have half a dozen broken compacts in the bottom of my make-up case lol

Are you seriously confused by this post? Pressed powder compacts, which many people use, tend to wear down through the middle first, creating a "rim" of powder around the inside of the container. The thinner it gets, the more likely the slightest bump will cause it to break, and since compacts aren't air tight, powder leaks out around the edges and makes a huge mess inside a purse or makeup bag. I am asserting my opinion that surely, advances could be made to prevent this from happening. Does that explain it?
