Why you shouldn’t use other
people lipstick!!
• Yes, never ever use someone elses
makeup . If that person had a cold
sore or a virus of some kind and
used the lipstick & then you used it
later, you can catch something
(her or his germs ) are then on the
lipstick you then use. Lipstick is a
big no, no! But that goes for
mascara , eyeliner & eyeshadow
too.
If you are using makeup from a “communal” makeup kit, use a clean brush or your hands to apply.
Or else you come out like
this!!!
A Fact You Need 2 Know!!
• It can be harmful to remove spirit
gum and latexes by pulling them
off of the skin. Peel them off
gently and apply as little solvent,
such as acetone or alcohol, as
possible. Once they are removed,
use oil, emollients, or moisturizers
as needed to counter the drying
effects of the solvents.
Cream sticks: slice these out on to individual
papers such as butter trays. Label and reuse
them individually for touch-ups.
Another Fact!!!!
• For special makeups, putty, wax, beeswax, and
morticians' wax all can be used to build up a
part of the face for theatrical
purposes. They all have similar properties,
but they differ slightly in hardness. Collodion
can be used to create mock wrinkles or
scars. Latex can be made to function in many
ways, and it also acts as a glue, as does spirit
gum. You can replace spirit gum with surgical
adhesive when resistance to moisture and
excessive motion of the skin are not called
for.
