5 Reasons Never To Share Your Makeup Products

Sharing makeup products is surprisingly common amongst ladies and it's a terrible habit! Ladies when touching up end up passing around tubes of lipsticks, lip gloss and balms, mascaras and so on between each other for quick use and in process transfer bacteria and even more!
Makeup products and tools are the perfect breeding places for bacteria. Avoid and never share your makeup products.

Risks of eye infections

Sharing mascara, eyeliners and eyeshadows can cause bad infections to the eye. This is extremely worse for those who wear contacts as the tear ducts can easily get infected by dirt and grime as well as bacteria transferred from a person to the other.

Risk of contaminating an entire makeup product

Sharing makeup product like loose powder attracts the risk of contaminating the whole powder- applying it with brush(es) that has been transferred from a person (and 'their bacteria') to the other- a product in a jar for instance get contaminated at just one touch/dab!

Risk of staph infection

Sharing makeup is one common cause of staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermis which can stay hidden in the makeup which just requires the perfect conditions/bacteria to set off the infection!

Risk of acne/breakouts

Sharing brushes and applicators for instance may trigger acne breakouts because shating those means getting someone else's bacteria, acne and to mention but a few to touch the other party's face which can't be good for the skin!

Wash Your Brushes: Always wash your makeup brushes at least once in a week. Washing them preserves the hair and shape, and also remove excess makeup to keep the bristles hygienic.

You can take the darkest shadow and turn it into the seamless smokey eye if you blend well enough. Quality vs Quantity: You don't need a huge assortment of brushes for everyday use.
