Maya, who posts under @ shared how all you need is a cotton pad for the clever trick.
In a video which has racked up over 106,000 likes, she showed how you simply need to play the cotton pad inside your blusher or powder.
You can then snap the lip shut and your powder will be protected from any bashes, which could lead to it cracking.
Maya explained: 'Without it, there's more chance of cracking or breaking.
'The cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk.'
Many people were quick to share their appreciation for the simple, yet effective, hack.
One person wrote: 'I hope everything you wish in your life becomes your reality.'
Another added: 'How didn't think bout this earlier?!'
And a third commented: 'you would have told me this before I broke my rare beauty blush.'
It's not the only beauty hack to cause a stir recently.
The exact spot to put bronzer to give you the most snatched and lifted jawline ever - and it's nowhere near your cheeks

HOT WEATHER HACK
A make-up fan has shared a summer hack that stops sunglasses sliding off your nose.
She advised taking a powder and dusting it onto your nose and the bridge of your glasses.
That's all it takes to keep your glasses from sliding off your face.
The powder will help absorb excess oils, keeping your makeup in place and your sunglasses free from makeup residue.
Beauty lovers couldn't get over this "amazing hack."

"I am today years old while learning this. Thank you gurrrrlll," a viewer commented.
"Will be using it all summer now," another said.
"Omg stop, as someone who wears glasses, my makeup is constantly gone right there. Wow!!!" a makeup artist added.
But not everyone was convinced about its effectiveness.
"It will change your life for exactly FIVE minutes until you swear or get the tiniest bit more oily and then you're back to f**ked," a woman wrote.
Viky replied that you "definitely need to reapply."
Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using.
A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines.
A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion.
The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture.
SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine.
Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer.
Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection.
Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation.
I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
