Using Makeup Testers Safely

I'm a psychotic germaphobe with OCD tendencies, and a host of other ailments that would never allow me to use the makeup testers at stores. However, if you are a normal functioning human being who wants to try on makeup, Women's Health gives a few tips on how to do so safely. Hopefully you won't fall victim to the bacteria and God knows what else that may be swimming on those things. OK, OK....I'm sorry!! I can't help it!

When Trying On.....

Lipstick - Wipe off the top layer with a tissue. Dab the color onto your lips with a cotton swab.

Eye Shadow- Use a cotton swab to brush the color onto your brow bone. Steer clear of your eyelids.

Lotion- Avoid the jarred variety. Stick with lotions that are in a tube or a container with a pump.

Solid Foundation- Remove the top layer with a tissue, then use a disposable makeup sponge to apply the product to your skin.

Blush- Spritz an alcohol-based spray onto the communal makeup brush, let it dry for a minute or two, and then swipe the blush onto your cheeks.
