To get the most out of your makeup, it is essential to keep it clean. Many make up users don’t think about how they handle, and apply makeup and even store makeup. However, paying close attention to how you care for your makeup can save you from infections and wasted products. Here are some quick and easy tips to keeping your products clean and bacteria free: • Wash your hands before handling any makeup. Your hands are covered with germs and bacteria that can make their way into your makeup. I am addicted to Germ-X hand sanitizer :) • Use clean tools. If you use brushes, wash them frequently! I have a "in between" brush cleaner that is an alcohol based spray and I wash my brushes once a week. It's also a good idea to have a backup set of brushes. That way when one is drying you still have a usable set. • Only use water if you need to dilute or moisten a cosmetic. Never use saliva or other liquids. If you’re going to apply or foil your makeup, use a separate jar or lid. Adding water to your cosmetics will allow bacteria to grow in it. You can pick up little condiment cups at the dollar store and these work great for foiling. • Discard makeup if the container or seal is broken. A cracked seal can allow bacteria in. • If your makeup changes color, begins to smell differently, or changes in texture, discard it. Your makeup may be old or contaminated and should no longer be used. • If a product causes irritation, stop using it immediately. If irritation persists, see a doctor. • Avoid using eye cosmetics if you have an eye infection or the skin around the eye is inflamed. Do not use cosmetics again until the area is healed and discard any you were using when you got the infection. I know this is a hard one, but necessary.

Why don't you use heat shrink wrap on your products? There are a few reason for this: Firstly, the main reason for shrink bands is safety. To ensure that no one else has touched your products or that contaminants were not introduced. Since I am a one woman show there really is no reason for this. And secondly, for time effectiveness. I do a lot of custom orders and blending and it would be time prohibitive to shrink band all these products and would definitely effect the turn around time.
