  • cool ich hab was unanständiges entdeckt

  • Thanks so much this is very helpful!!

  • I saw some videos, that people were repairing broken eyeshadows with alcohol...

  • This was the most helpful video I have watched. I like to keep my makeup as clean as possible. Thank you

  • Beauty so clean sells products that clean all products 100%

  • sehr useful

    

  • So grateful I found a detailed video on how to sanitize lipsticks.

    First time ever that I've purchased a lipstick and when I opened it it was another color on top, someone had mixed there lipstick on top, I was digusted (still am)!

    I'm going to scrape away the top layer too. I'm no germ-a-phob but I don't enjoy buying something someone else is using. Typically drugstore lipsticks I buy sealed, this was just a quick run in & found it on the way out.

  • I think this tutorial is great for your own make-up. But, with swaping make-up there is no way to 100% kill germs. The FDA and most doctors will tell you this is not safe. It's not just the top surface of the make-up that is because infected germs can actually seep down into the base of any makeup eyeshadows, lipstick, etc.

  • So, say you were to get pink eye from a specific eyeliner, could you use clean it with alcohol and then use it again or is it best to throw that kind of stuff away? I'm asking because I get allergic conjunctivitis a lot from other things that dont have to do with makeup, but I'm constantly told to throw away makeup afterwards anyway, which is really annoying when it happens frequently.

  • Does this method also work with paint pots?

  • I have heard if you freeze ur make up it also sanitizes to.

  • Comment removed

  • Does rubbing alcohol work the same?

  • very helpful thanks.

  • Just use a spray!

    Instead of dipping, wiping, throwing away the rest..

  • i love your videos, ***** i love it can u please which shade and brand of the lipstick the one which u r wearing and a gloss as iam from india ..thank you once again:-).. love you

  • does anyone else's eyeshadows have a weird film after dabbing them with alcohol?

  • Are you sure you should be wiping the product (lipstick, liner) directly after dipping it in the alcohol? I thought really sanitizing with alcohol is allowing the alcohol to dry/evaporated. And since alcohol dries quickly then there's not a necessity to wipe EVERYTHING afterwards.

  • my alcohol says poisonous on the bottle. Not sure if I would use it for lipstick...

  • @SummerRain1994 all the alcohol evaporates in about a minute

  • Could you do this with cream eyeshadow (if you have sensitive eyes?)

  • couldn't you also squeeze out some gloss onto a flat surface and then share it by letting another person dab it onto themselves? admittedly it would be a clean and sanitized surfae and a squeezable gloss. with the applicator glosses again use a flat surface and at its edge scrape the gloss off till desired amount is out of the gloss containor. again clean surface sanitized.

    Love your videos have given me inspiration and plenty of tips thank you!

  • You can also put the Alcohol in a small spray bottle, that's what I do it's so much easier you spray it a few inches away. I spray them directly on to my brushes before and after I use them and on all my eye shadows and pretty much everything else.

    Also don't forget to spray the inside caps of your lipsticks and lip liners and eye liners!

  • @heartz500 that's waht i was gonna do but after u spray them do u just leave it on or wipe it off?

  • @JBieberSC I spray all my makeups including eye liners, lip liners and the caps too. I just spray them and lay them out while I do all of them. I don't wipe mines, I lay it out do dry for like a min or 2 and it does not ruin my makeup at all!

  • that is so cool, i didnt know you could clean make up!how much does it usually cost?????

  • I knew that was For Audrey the moment I saw it, I looovvveee that polish. It's my favorite color.

  • you kind of remind me of khlow kardashian. your evry pretty :)

  • My mother is an epidemiologist and she also told me germs die at 70% concentration.

    I am currently battling acne and when this ends I need to disinfect my concealer so that bacteria doesn't get on my face. I think I'm going to throw it away lol you scared me about that not completely sanitizing it part.

  • thank you for this.

  • this is so helpful!!

  • I use mouthpiece sanitation spray for instruments. It's 70% alcohol and it's minty, so it's like an added bonus of refreshed smell in addition to sanitized products. It's only a couple bucks so it's cheaper than a lot of other makeup sanitation products, and it's 100% safe because it's designed to sanitize instrument mouthpieces. Good buy! And great tips, MissChievous!

  • What lipstick color do you have on? It's very nice!!

  • This is just germ-fearing paranoia! If you are sharing your make-up then ok, you may want to remove the portion that has been touched by someone else, but my question is this - who has actually suffered any kind of infection from using their own stuff!

  • @ScrumbleNuts Well, if you use your own makeup on other people, such as if you're doing a play and you bring in your own products, then it's best to sanitize what you brought in case people, who you don't know very well, used your products without asking then it's worth it to sanitize. Even if you purposely used your own makeup on people, you should still sanitize because everybody's face is different and helpful bacteria on one's face may be harmful to someone else's.

  • you dont have to wipe off methalated spirit, or alcohol, it evaporates almost instantly!

  • I had lots of problems with my brushes. My face broke out real bad, but your tutorial help out a whole lot, thanks a lot.

  • will basic isopropyl alcohol 91% work?????????????

  • Julia, I tried cleaning my MAC fluidline like this because it was getting super dry and gross looking..I wiped off the top layer using 70% alcohol and there were so many cracks in it that I poured a bit of alcohol in, poured it out and mixed it all up with a sanitized eyeliner brush. Now, it's not as dry as before... it's actually quite moist. Do you think it is safe to use on my eyes? I'm concerned maybe the alcohol cannot evaporate out..

  • @Amayahuu It should be fine if you let it sit, most will evaporate out. Just don't use it on your waterline or under your bottom lashes.

  • Can you use surgical spirit? xx

  • @FuriouslyFabulous surgical spirit is the same as rubbing alcohol, its just that in america they call it rubbing alcohol and in the uk we call it surgical spirit :)x

  • This is SO helpful! THANK YOU!

  • really great video thanks for sharing :)

  • I love how your eyes are so almond shaped, just beautiful!

  • that is not true eye can spray alchol on pressed shadow...If your shadow doesnt look right you shouldn't use it...

  • SWAPPING MAKE UP SITES!?!?!?! HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIIS!?!??!

  • super helpful, and can you believe that 72% of people dont sanitize their makeup at all? thats crazy

  • Just to let everyone know you CANNOT get herpes etc from makeup!!!! Bacteria and viruses do not last longer than a maximum of 10 secs outside the human body, evry bacteria needs a host eg oxygen and a blood supply to survive. Even for human to human contact normally body fluids have to be exchanged for you to contract the virus- gurus really need to research what they are saying before giving out false information like that- ALL of them.

  • @missfrancesimo1 It's a fact that nasty things survive on public bathroom walls.........so I'd never even take a chance on make up. That's too up-close and personal. But thanks for your info. I'll check it out. Better to be safe than sorry.

  • i hardly see u smile

  • do u have ur tongue pierced

  • @MiriyaParis580

    Excellent girl if you wanna add me on msn my user id = pokemonluver05 :]

    And I agree 100% make up can be sooo over priced. did you hear MAC is giving out a ton of $250 gift cards?

    My sis told me they recently shared this link with their facebook fans on tuesday, you can get one here.

    tiny。cc/927035

    By the way, ya have to use the coupon password BEAUTY on the 2nd page of registering :d

  • its okay to put the eyeliner on your waterline after it has been dipped in alcohal?! PLZ RESPOND!!!! THANKS!!! :)

  • @miab40000 once you wipe it down its dry

  • now this is one informative and helpful video!!thnx 4 it:) the kiss in the end is funny:D

  • So you can use eyeliner on your waterline right after you put alcohol on it? Wont it irritate your eye?

  • You look like Megan Fox in this video!

  • I had to do a photo shoot one time and they had little like.. pods of lip gloss and stuff like that and they had a teeny disposable applicator. ;)

  • Thank this was really helpful

  • How do u keep eyeshadows/eyeshadow brushes sanitary when using it on other people or doing it ''professionally''? Would I have to scrape the top layer off the shadow everytime i use it on a person? Whats the professionals secret to that? Lol i cant find the answer anywhere, help!

  • @OctoberBaby543 you dont scrape the eyeshadow at all. take a paper towel with some alcohol on it and just dab it on top. It'll kill all the germs and it won't ruin your make up

  • ur so pretty :))!

  • Does rubbing alcohol work?

  • When you use face powder on a client.. do you shave some off, put it on a palette and then apply it?

  • @makeupxomouse when i had my make up done thats what the girl did she sanitized the brush then put face powder on a pallet then applied it she never directly put the brush to the source so she didnt need to shave n e off

  • @makeupxomouse No you really only do that with cream products because the bacteria can live in the cream but only really stay on the top of powders.

  • i love your lipstick shade! :D

    thanks for the tips.

  • Also, wash your face before you put make-up on :)

  • one thing to think about most people have sensative skin so to sanitize makeup with alcohol can cause an alergic reaction to the person being the alcohol still on the product this is ideal when working on clients

  • @lola2022 Alcohol evaporates completely. That's how it actually kills the germs. The rest is plain water which also evaporates. Allergic reactions are caused rather by other "fancier" sanitizers or perfumes/"aloe"/additives used in sanitizers, not by pure alcohol.

  • @ralukittytube alchol will still sit in the products and eventually destroy them this is what I learned inmakeup school u never want to clean any of ur makeup products with alcohol at least yyour eyeshadows and blushes

  • how do you sanatize eyeliner that isnt an actal pencil because i use a type of pencil that twists and it doesnt sharpen???

  • @MsTbabi13

    maybe cut off the tip and then soak the rest w/the alcohol.

  • Comment removed

  • wouldn't the cap get contaminated if you use it to clean such makeup stuff?

  • very useful information.. thnx

  • gorgeous instructions- thank you, has any of you tried Garniers latest line of products?? its not easy to get hold of make-up in Boyce yet you can get great cosmetic samples by using "Gratis-Makeup-Samples", their awesome.

  • You actually are incredibly cute, thank you for your video tutorial. it is sad im living within Watertown mainly because i can't find very good make-up, nevertheless i get hold of totally free cosmetics samples from "GratismakeupSamples". i absolutely adore Revlon cosmetics!

  • 70% is good, but the problem is 20% of it is water and will murder any powders you use. Try using a UV wand, they're cheap and far more effective, or 15 seconds in a microwave. Alcohol is vastly inferior to those two methods.

  • @bashpr0mpt What about the products with metal, like eyeshadows? Do they make the microwave spark??

  • magnificent instructions - nice one, has anybody sampled Rimmel's latest line of products?? it is not easy to obtain good makeup in Greenwood yet i managed to obtain some brilliant samples of make-up using 'Gratis Makeup Samples', theyre cool!

  • can i use hand sanitizer sprays on lipstick instead of buying alcohol?

  • does age matter buying that alcohol?

    if it does then what can i replace the alcohol with?

  • Im glad there are others out there like us when it comes to sanitization in the battle of bacteria transfer / and elimination in the cosmetic world. Especiallly when it comes to the theatre industry and cosmetic counters where this is most important! We spritz/swipe Bullets w 70 alcohol at work and paper towels! love that we remove applicators for guests, and always insist on asking for help. Thanks for this video for so many!

  • wont the alcohol hurt your eyes for the eye pencil

  • @xcherryxbabyx5730

  • there is a product called be so clean make up and you can clean dry make up

  • This is very informative! Thank you so much! Very helpful!

  • I always wondered what makeup products can and cannot be sanitized. Very Helpful and informative. Great video!!!!!!

  • Thanks this helped me a lot where can i buy spat to take out the makeup?

  • Hello Julia! You are amazing! You make the best tutorials! I learned a lot from this tutorial. Please tell how to clean the brush. And how long they can use.

    *I apologize for any mistakes. my English is not good enough. Tnanks! :)

  • I love your nail color

  • your lips are the perfect shape!

  • Thanks for this tutorial.  This is very important

    especially if you are using cosmetics on others.

  • What do you do for lipbalms? Like mine sometimes they have dry lip skin on it from chapped lips or something lyk that and i can't take it off because it's lyk stuck there and i don't wanna use my germy hands and nails 2 pick or scratch it off. What do I do to sanatize it?

  • nice tutorial, you are so pretty :p lol i love Sally Hansen makeup especially, i get perfect freeby samples from - gratis make-up samples - anybody else?

  • @Sierrashibata how does that work? I mean how do you get free samples..

  • @PacifiedBlood

    isopropyl alcohol sanitizes as it evaporates; flaming will speed that process, but it's not necessary.

  • i was wondering if you could sanitize the liquid eye liner that is in the form of a soft tip marker?

  • Do you have a Russian accent?

  • I do have a problem with the statement about sanitizing with alcohol. Alcohol really only sterilizes when flamed. Alcohol will kill most germs, but not all.

  • u have really pretty eyes

  • what conceler palette is that that you demo with?

  • @MissSatyaDanu It's the Ben Nye concealer wheel. It's awesome. :P

  • that was very helpful...thanks :)

  • I just bought a bottle of the BeautySoClean, I'll have to try it and review it. I have been sanitizing by spraying 91% alcohol.

  • Great tutorial ! Thx !!!!

  • do you have for audrey on your nails?

  • @jerrlyn yup. she list it in the sidebar.

  • Dear MissChievous, please tell me why I can't clean my makeup with Vodka. It's just in my country you can not buy spirits/alcohol from pharmacy!

    Thank you very much!

  • You can't buy rubbing alcohol?

  • I just thought of someting else! When you have a cold and use lipbalm, you can sanatize it instead of throwing it away!

  • or involve urself w/ppl who will not give you cold sores.

  • Thank you SO much! I got some pre-used makeup I love. I can clean and use them now!!

  • thanks so much! i didn't know you could sanitize the actual make-up! i kbrushes but not thnew about e make-up itself. Thanks again!!! love it:)

  • oh thank you so much for this video few days ago i was just wondering what to do with few lip sticks ahhhhhhhh u saved me xD thx dear i am sednign you big kiss

  • I cant get the link to your website to work :(

  • i wonder...what if the other person your sharing makeup w/ is your sister...does it still apply to this situation?

  • You're such a genius.

  • what kind of brand name did you use to kill the germs on the makeup product .

  • hey, im wondering, can anybody tell me if u could use anticeptic disifectant that you can use for first aid e.g cuts and grazes and also around the house?

    thanks for the help in advance :)

  • Just use the alcohol but don't ever put alcohol on cuts. It's burns like hell! lol the alcohol she is talking about is pretty cheap and can be found in any pharmacy, so you shouldn't have a problem finding it. You can also use the alcohol to clean your makeup containers, keyboards, cell-phone etc. Of course put it on a cotton swab or a tissue when doing that! I use this all of the time to clean my keyboard and cellphone. Works great.

  • Thank you for the tips Julia! Me and my mom and sis share makeup..I'm just glad we use powder products and uses brushes for those..or else...eek! I'll sanitize them now hehe ^_^

    You look so fresh and pretty in this video by the way ^_^

  • was fürn shampoo benutzt du? hast voll schöne haare

  • does isopropyl alcohol work? aka rubbing alcohol?

  • isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol, and also used to clean product off curling irons and flat irons :)

  • You just put the germs back on with the tissue though :/

  • Excellent video!

    ur one of my favs makeup gurus.

    and i trust you with every thing you say!

  • that nailpolish is sooo pretty

  • can you use rubbing alcohol?

  • That's what we used to do at Victoria's Secret.. we had a spray bottle of alcohol and cleaned all the lipsticks and gloss pots.

    I never knew about that little symbol on the back of some makeup for how long it's good for once opened. Though not all have them (which they should)...

  • Thanks, this is really helpful. I have often wondered about the safety of products. I don't share but definitely I should throw away some older productions. I will try the sanitizing also. Good tips!

  • you look so incredible beautfiful in this video your hair is gorgeous and i adore your makeup do you have a tutorial on this look??

    Sending festive cheer!

    Lara xoxo

  • I heard putting lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and things like that in the freezer for 24 hours it will kill the germs that may be on it.

  • you are so pretty and unique looking =]

  • how often do u do this?

  • your nail polisch is fantastic :)

  • what about rubbing alcohol 70%?

  • thats what shes using!

  • That's what she's using.

  • OMG I didn't know what that little like container looking thing on the back with a number and an M meant haha thanks learn something new everyday ;]

  • you look fantastic with this hairwstyle and makeup

  • does rubbing alcohol count?

  • yes.

  • Yes.

  • i love your nails wich colour is it?

  • China Glaze - For Audrey

  • Thank you for this tutorial.

  • Love you. I've learned SO MUCH!

    How about a Britney Spears' eye -- especially her makeup in the video for Stronger.

  • i <3 your nails :D

  • I just loved this video and favorited it, because it's so important! I'm a medical student and one of the things I learned at the hospital, especially with the hole H1N1 situation, is that 70% alcohol is mor eficient to kill germs than the stronger ones, like 90%. That is because the alcohol "needs" to have a bit more water in the formula so it can penetrate all the bacteria.

    So, for killing germs 70% alcohol is better than the 90% or higher ones!

    I hope I could help, and I love your videos!

  • What about rubbing alcohol?

  • pure alcohol would probably irritate your skin.
