Make lips pop with
the hot-pink hue
in the Victoria’s
In a study
from Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey,
researchers found that on Saturdays, 100 percent
of tester makeup in department stores was tainted
with viruses or bacteria such as E. coli, staph and
strep. Stay germ-free with these tips.
Check it out. Does the makeup artist clean his or her
brushes? Is the counter stocked with sanitizers, disposable
mascara wands and cotton swabs? If not, go elsewhere.
Don’t double dip. When matching foundation, use a cotton
swab and apply once and toss. Before trying powders, dust
the top layer off with a cotton pad to reduce germs.
Protect your pout. Try lipsticks on the palm of your hand
instead of your mouth. The color of your palm closely
resembles your cheeks, so you’ll see how the shade will look.
