Appearance Consultation Make-up application

Here are simple tips for make-up application that can help you avoid infection.

  • Use clean, 100% cotton (not synthetic) cotton balls, cotton swabs, sponges, spatulas, or other disposable applicators to apply lotions or cream cosmetics.
  • Use clean, new brushes or sponge-tipped applicators to apply powder cosmetics.
  • Use disposable mascara wands.
  • Whenever possible, use products from tubes or containers with pumps or droppers.
  • Use a clean applicator for each application; once it has been used, throw it away.
  • Don’t exchange makeup with or allow anyone else to use your products such as mascara and lipstick.
