What do you say? Will you share your makeup?<\/p>\n
I won’t. Not out of selfish reasons but for hygiene reasons. There are exceptions of course.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will share powder products e.g. powder eyeshadows, powders and blushes. I will also share anything that can be pumped out or squeezed out e.g. primers, liquid foundations etc.<\/p>\n
I will not share any products that I apply directly to my skin, or which I cannot easily clean and sanitize e.g. lipsticks, mascara, lipgloss, concealers with brush applicators etc.<\/p>\n
Bacteria multiplies faster in a wet medium as opposed to a dry medium, hence my concern. Also, sharing lipsticks, lipglosses and mascara can spread germs and bacteria. If you wonder why you get a cold sore or eye infections from testing lipsticks at makeup counters, this could very well be a reason.<\/p>\n
Oh and I don’t use makeup testers directly on my face for this reason too, which is also why I don’t go for makeovers. Where possible, I try not to use the lipstick and lipglosses and mascara (unless they use a disposable spoolie) and even eyeliners. Basically, anything that goes too near my lips or eyes doesn’t get shared.<\/p>\n
So err… yeah. Next time you want to borrow my makeup, it’ll just be the powder products you’ll get \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
