there are some local department stores here in our place that they put product testers for their future consumers. If they will like the product or not. i saw a lot of women who tried it after another. I know its not healthy because we cant be sure that the last person who uses the lipstick or the blush ons have acne's or ringworms. since this skin diseases is really contagious. have you tried to put on some make up from the products that are use for testers?

I have but I always test it on the back of my hand. Sure that doesn't eliminate the chance of ringworms or even acne but the chances are good that I will wash my hands before I wash my face. Plus I was taught to do that as a little kid and it just stuck. Everything. Lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes (even though I rarely ever wear blush)....it all goes on the back of my hand.

Maybe there are some stores who provide disposable items for those who want to test their make-up. Otherwise, it is kinda unhealthy .. which makes me think if it is a good idea having your make-up done in a salon .. I guess it depends how careful your make-up artist is

hi markroderick..well yeah its same here in our local malls and i guess every malls globally...and i agree with testers on make-ups are unhygienic..you really never knows who tried this and have some skin problems..i never do that..coz for me its not safe...
