Tips you should know about properly testing products at a makeup counter or store! Want to know the easiest way to test products? Do what I do.. test EVERYTHING on the BACK OF YOUR HAND! you will still get a general idea oh how the product will look. I never apply products on my face that are out in the open for people to touch/use. Just like a public toilet seat, you know whats right & wrong, but just because you wouldn’t set your bare ass on it, doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t mind!! Ooor like eating candy that is unwrapped and out for everyone.. some people don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom, they probably reached in there and touched 84590343 pieces trying to get 1… now you just ate one. GROSS! Remember: -Sanitize hands. -DO NOT STICK YOUR FINGER IN ANY PRODUCTS! -Use cotton swabs to swatch on the back of your hand. -Use disposable wands only 1 time, if you need more product use a new wand each time! -Scrape out cream products with a spatula that was dipped in alcohol – PENCILS: if using on your eye/lip; dip in alcohol, sharpen, & dip in alcohol again. make sure to WIPE off the alcohol after the 2nd dip so it doesn’t burn. – Anything in a squeeze tub can be used right out of the tube itself -Spot clean brushes before using them! anything else i forgot to mention… remind me and i’ll add it!
