When Makeup Turns Ugly by roughdiamond1: 11:08pm On Apr 10, 2015
Hostel can be a very interesting place to be and seriously you don’t get to lack anything except you have a problem expressing yourself lipsrsealed lipsrsealed. Some people particularly wouldn’t just get those things they need because their Bunkie will give them without effort grin . I can be so nice to some extent but I don’t joke with my makeup kits. Sharing makeup tool is never an advisable thing to do.

Practically, everything that has direct contact with your body should be solely used. Your health should not be traded for friendship. The main matter is that not everyone has the same level of immunity as each other so your friend can look healthy on the outside but please don’t wish to be like her cos you don’t know the despicable amount of bacteria she’s got .

Most makeup products contain preservatives to help slow the growth of bacteria or fungi but sometimes it is not enough to prevent contamination. It is being said that anytime you touch your lipstick or mascara for example, some amount of these microbes get deposited on the makeup and can serve as a medium for microbial growth. So therefore, these commodities have to be protected well especially because they touch your skin directly.

I was even able to find out in this site that bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and E.coli are commonly found in makeup stores. So the more people use a makeup kit, the more these microbes are spread.

This week, it was learnt that a lady landed on wheelchair because of an infection caused by an antibiotic-resistant form of staph which damaged her spine. Analysis showed that she got this infection from a friend’s makeup brush. It was a narrow-escape for her not to have died.

Likewise, one potential, and particularly pesky, result of sharing eye makeup is getting pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis. This infection of the lining of the eyelid results in red, itchy, watery eyes and can last for up to two weeks (source: Mayo Clinic)

What do we do about commercial makeup artist that tend to use the same kit for every customer? It’s simple as you can take your kit with you especially very sensitive kits like mascara, brushes, lipstick, wedge etc. As well, makeup artists are to be familiar with the health precautions and they are to carry out healthy routines as they work. There are some suggestions like; the use of disposable applicator and disposable sponges, sharpening an eye pencil before and after use, use of alcohol as a disinfectant for lipstick and brushes.

It is important you ask your makeup artist all these before just sitting down and relaxing for an application. Also always get a face wash when the makeup day is over.
