- How to refill a stratton powder compact.
I used Maxfactor Cremepuff which fits Stratton solid powder and convertible compacts.
I am by no means an expert... I mean look at my make up, but I am a make up wearer and I struggled to find HOW to do this online! I did this through trial and error.
I got the Make Up from Boots and the compacts from Ebay. Compacts were a few pounds. I searched for "Stratton Convertible Compacts" to find what I wanted.
Be kind to each other... if you didn't like the video, sorry, just don't watch :-)
It's called a retaining ring. You can buy refills from various brands, but you can also make a pressed powder using loose powder and isopropyl alcohol. Mix the two together to make a paste, pour into the empty powder pan and press down firmly through a piece of parchment paper until level and leave to dry.
Aaah a UK video! Thank you for making this! I had found a clean and almost never used vintage cream powder compact from boots at my local charity shop and I've been looking all over on how to refill it with a powder I could use and I stumbled upon this video, now I know what to look for. Have a good one and stay safe!
Let me know how you get on!
@@Myownuniquestyle Will do!
Ahhh! So clever - well done you! And yes, that Stratton compact does look so much better! (PS - I hope this video goes viral...) 😜
Ahh thanks, but I hope it doesn't go viral! I'd lose my job as a teacher 🤣 and I need that to pay my bills ❤️
Thank you! Wasn’t sure how to do this! Just got my beautiful Stratton Compact. Which I love. 😍👏🏻
Great video! I love vintage compacts. I’m still shopping for one for my powder refills. I buy the Gabriel face powder refill. You get the powder in a tin and it’s packaged in a small piece of cardboard. I love the product. It has very good coverage.
Thanks for this video! I just got my first Stratton and was wondering how to refill it, this seems to be the answer!
Good luck 😊
Thanks so much..I needed this badly
I hope you managed to refill your compact ok, how did you get on?
Thank you for this tip. I managed to get the refill out by heating gently on my ceramic hob. Ridiculously difficult though. Last time I broke the refill but got it done this time. Max Factor should address this problem!
It's really annoying isn't it! The glue is super duper industrial sticky glue. And so much of it.
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh, that is so lovely!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Might be safer to use a hair dryer.
Edit! You’re so sweet, I just got a Stratton compact last week. Looking forward to trying this 🫶🏽
I did initially try a hair drier but it wasn't quite hot enough. A craft heat gun might work well but I don't have one of those. Good luck with your compact.
I used a hair dryer. You just have to leave it there long enough close to the back of the powder compact. It worked. Flat irons on a low setting work too!
This is genius! I just ordered a Stratton compact from eBay and want to put a pressed powder inside. How many inches is the max factor compact? I’m wondering if my 100% Pure powder would fit inside...
I know it is 67 millimeters accross, not sure in inches. If its smaller you can put a small piece of cardboard in or blutak. X
Those are so beautiful...
Your compacts are sooo pretty 😍
Thank you. I am a sucker for pretty make up packaging, at least these are reusable 🙂
Такая приятная ❤
Thanks..it was very helpful
❤
Thank you for your video! Might I ask you what Max Factor tone do you use? I am not sure which one should I buy, thank you!
I use transparent as I am very fair and use it as a topper
@@Myownuniquestyle thank you!
Do you know what volume/weight of loose powder fits in the compact?
21 grams I think.

I have the first compact you showed. What year was it made. If you or anyone else has any info on it could you comment here.
Have a look at the base.
As a rule of thumb:
Late 1930's to 1950's - base designs tend to be of a spiral
Mid 1950's to mid 1960's - base design of all over stars
Mid 1960's to early 1970's - base design of stars again but with the addition of the Stratton name
1970's to 1980's - Somewhat spotted designs with the Stratton name
1980's to 1990's - base design woven patterns with the Stratton name
@@Myownuniquestyle Thank You for the info. Where do you look online for researching items?
We’re did you get you cases
Antique/junk shops, vintage fairs, eBay, charity shops.
I tried it and it cracked ☹️
oh no, it has happened to me once or twice. You can repress powder.
Good luck, if you need any advice please let me know. I figured it out by trial and error x
