The Dangers of Sharing Makeup

People are more than a little disgusted by the idea of sharing a toothbrush and most refuse to share socks and other items; however, many women barely bat an eye at the idea of sharing their eye makeup. They don’t see it as a big problem to share their eye makeup, but would never dream of sharing numerous other things. This is can be a serious problem.

Eye makeup is a very personal item on the same level as a toothbrush. Mascara in particular can have numerous bits of bacteria and dust in it to which one person’s eyes are accustomed. The problems arise when people share mascara. Any bacteria in a tube of mascara are passed on to the people who use the bottle. When women share, they share more than long lashes. They also share eye infections.

It is not uncommon for friends to develop the same eye infections very soon after each other because of this habit. Mascara is a wonderful place for bacteria to grow. It likes moist, dark places and a tube of mascara is nothing if not dark and moist. When one considers the tendency to carry mascara in a purse close to the body, the bacteria benefits from warmth.

Other makeup products carry similar hazards. Eye shadow and eye liner, particularly the liquid form, can transport bacteria from one person to the next. It is a good idea not to share make up at all.
