He does use beauty-so-clean now. It prevents discolouration that rubbing alcohol/99%alcohol tend to do. But they are still great for disinfecting. He has a more recent video on this as well.
Would you still recommend this over beauty so clean? I'm contemplating buying it for my personal stash as I don't use them often I'm afraid they'll grow stuff before I get to use them. Also do you still clean your brushes with alcohol? Thanks in advance!!
OMG! I never knew you could disinfect your make up or SHOULD for that matter. Brushes I knew about I clean them with soap and water. If you have a better way please tell me. But I did not know about the disinfecting of your make up. THANKS!!!
@mschiffon Pencil eyeliner is sharpened,so the tip that touched the eye is gone anyways.If you want to use mascara on others in a sanitary way you need a tube of mascara that has NEVER been used on anyone(the brush), and you need to use disposable mascara wands to apply it, and do NOT double dip the wand or else you might as well be using the brush. If it is for personal use, there is no need to disinfect mascara as they need to be tossed out about every 3 months. Hope it helps!
@speed0spank no, I only use the makeup for me and every now and then my sister. My eye liner is the kind you twist. I'm not sure if it can be sharpen. Does it have to be disinfected if i also use that on me only.
I am ashamed to say i never thought of 'cleaning' my personal eyeshadows... i just whipped out all of them and gave them a good spritz with some alcohol. Thanks so much for this!
Thank you, you are wonderful. Dr. Oz says you can also freeze your mascara and cream make up (at least every 3 weeks) to kill bacteria, and suggests scraping off a top layer of your powder make up every month for those that don't want to spray. You can do a google search on his article. A huge recommendation from Oz....clean the bottom of your purse, wallet etc with a spray alcohol as thats where us gals pick up lots of gross stuff....Thanks for this video, now I won't toss things so fast
Bought myself a spray bottle + surgical spirit today. Tried it and make up is still fine after spraying so thanku! Feel better knowing irs clean. Not sure if you can use it on brushes after cleanin tho?
@moveslikejagger24 I use it on my synthetic brushes after deep cleaning or cleansing(mac brush cleanser) actually seems to remove more pigment that got left behind if there was any?
I'd think on animal hair brushes it would dry the bristles out making them brittle?
awesome tips. i just recently got over a horrible eye infection due to makeup products not being disinfected. love your videos and this one especially. its nice to know that some people are sanitary. xD kudos, sir.
... what did he say in the end? does it give you headaches? does it sting? i couldnt hear him very well.. it sounded like he said doesn't.. then he was like it gives me massive headaches
Additionally, I hope you'll make a video on nose contouring. I cannot find a tutorial appropriate for my structure. My nose isn't large. It's the bones starting at either side of the top ridge of the nose just below the eyes that connect to the cheekbones. Mine over-exaggerates the width from front-view & almost breaks my nose into segments. If that makes sense. = ( darkening the sides/ highlighting middle V/V isn't suitable for me it just draw attention to close-set large eyes. Tips, PLEASE!

@zonko82 ...it's rubbing alcohol. You get it from any drugstore. It is the cheaper option.The other product is beauty so clean and you can google beauty so clean and order it from their website.
oh dear. Do u know whay I did with my conjunctivitis? I through away my pencils and blacktrack, liquid eyeliner, and i scratch the first lay of eyeshadows that i used in those days and then burn them with a light. And scratch away my lemonade from benefit, and clean my brushes with alcool, the red one, and then i chance my 2 towels for face and brushes. So I scratch the eyeshadows was a waste, if I saw this before.... Anyway, once I used to clean brushes with shampoo or liquid soap, then on yt..
@KittySLifeStyle I've so, that people clean them brushes with solid soap, and was very nice to do it. But then the oculist told me that solid soap it is a good way that germs gonna stay!!!! Oh dear
@kindasexyshy Crazy but 70% alcohol is better at disinfection than 90% alcohol. Why? Because at 90% volume the alcohol evaporates too fast to do any serious disinfecting. Doctors use 70% for this reason. So don’t worry your good with 70% alcohol.
Extremely informative. I saw a local news report that says that most make up have preservatives in them to fight bacteria and such. Do you think that preservatives alone are effective enough?
Thank you so much for making this video! A few months back i went out on a search for it and bought 'rubbing alcohol', no ingredients stated but it said contains alcohol... got home and mixed it in with my brand new cracked mac shadow and it now has a awful smell and has become chalky. Rubbing my finger in the eyeshadow dries out my finger! I have since gave up but today i saw a little bottle of surgical spirit, contains 96% alcohol but wanted to look it up before testing again :) It works!
At lunch my daughter and I were talking about makeup,as women do, and I was telling her about this vid, and she asked me a question; do you disinfect your mascara too or throw it awav?
thanks for telling us gurls on what to do with are make up. i had use some of my make up on some of my friends an didnt think about GERMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness thank you so much for making this video. I was literally about to buy beauty so clean but then I came across this! I love you forever! haha *Just Subscribed*! <3
Hello...I learned this disinfecting technique about 18 years ago and have been using alcohol on all my makeup, blushes, eye shadows since. Thank you for sharing for all.
I've been searching books, magazines, and videos for a way to sanitize eyeshadows for so long, but this is the first one I've found. Thank you so, so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for that kind of information for a long long time now. Needless to say, I subscribed to you right away. :)
I have used this method for years. I also clean my brushes in between clients with 99% alcohol so the brushes dry quickly. People think this dries out the brushes but my brushes are in perfect condition. I know they are clean this way and it put clients at ease when they smell the alcohol.
With all due respect to you and all your expertise, I have you correct you on something. Even though it is a good idea to disinfect your makeup regularly, using the same makeup again after a cold sore or a virus will not cause you to get sick again. Its a virus, not a bacteria, they are not contagious ,and once you've recovered from it, you cant get it again. Its mainly the bacteria infections you want to be super careful about.
@pinapplemangobananna With all due respect cold sores can be transmitted by contact with the infected area. So if you share a lipstick, lip balm, lip gloss, drinking glass, etc you can catch it from someone else. My little brother has a hard time with cold sores and was advised by the doctor to never share any lip products and never share a drinking glass during an outbreak. The concern for a MUA is you could transmit the virus from one person to another via a dirty lipstick.
I just got my 91% alcohol and did this.. Worked like a charm.. I was especially happy cause dropped an eyeshadow palette upside down on a nasty dirty floor, otherwise I would have trashed it, but sprayed it and it swatches fine!
I have heard that spraying alcohol on your makeup is ok and then I have heard its not. but from what I have seen it doesn't damage my makeup at all. great video. your the bomb;)
So glad to find your video, so I don't have to throw away my old makeup. That makeup pallette is gorgeous, who makes it? Would those colors be good for blondes with yellow undertones?
Hey Candy - I just called WalGreen's and they have 91%, according to the pharmacist. Not expensive, either. If you don't have one nearby, it would not be unreasonable to have it shipped.
i really don't think there's any way to disinfect things like mascara or tubed lipgloss... those come with wands and you usually double or triple dip.
From a hygeine freak, here's a few tips that trump spray alcohols which only kill about 98% of bacteria. High level ultraviolet wands, they're about $30 off eBay tops, and kill 99.99% of germs, followers by a good dose of sunlight. Sunlight however will make algae and some fungii bloom; so in the case of something that may be infected with that, ensure you have no metal parts in the container and bung it in the microwave oven for 15 or so seconds. Vastly superior to alcohol! <3
On the Boots website it mentions prescription required for surgical spirit and iso, but I went to Boots today asked at the checkout, the lady went and got it for me off the shelf was not behind the counter.
I never knew that you can disinfect make up... Thanks a lot for the video. Too bad that where i live, in Norway, it's become illegal to sell high percentage alcohol.
@amybaby18 the idea of using alcohol is that it evaporates very quickly and it does not stay in your makeup, and doesn't ruin it either that's why he did swatches at the end :) I use alcohol to clean my makeup and in seconds everything's dry again. Another thing, if the alcohol somehow managed to stay in the product, nothing happens cause rubbing alcohol it's meant to be used on people's skin, for scratches etc. hope it helps!
from all the makeup disinfecting videos i've seen they say rubbing alcohol shouldn't be used cuz it changes the color of your eyeshadows. but you seem to have no problem. You even stated to doing it everyday. Thanx for the vid really helped alot.
I do not recommend using rubbing alcohol. It contains isopropyl (a denaturant) which is an oil. After cotinued use (especially on dry products) it can cause problems.
Instead, use plain straight grain alcohol at a liquor store. The kind that you buy and drink. It is 100% alcohol. It is more expensive (because of the taxes), but it is much better and does not smell
Rubbing alcohol IS grain alcohol with the denaturant isopropyl
@fifitis03 Unfortunately not. That's because mascara is within a tube and once you've put your used mascara wand back in, there is no way to sanitize the product. If you are a makeup artist, you can use only disposable mascara wands with no double-dipping to avoid contamination. If the mascara is only for your personal use, then just use the wand provided and replace your mascara about every three months. Yes, it's annoying to buy mascara all the time, but I'd rather do that than infect my eyes
@fifitis03 You could do a hard core cleaning by taking the wand and washing it really really well, otherwise just spraying the wand will work as long as you let the alcohol evaporate, which shouldn't be long enough to ruin the mascara on the brush! Hope that helps!
Thanks for the tip, but is there anyway to disinfect lipglosses and mascaras? Would it be safe to actually pour some into either product and give a good mix and keep them uncapped so the alcohol would dry out? Would this harm these products?
@lilme4321 Possibly-beauty so clean has little wipes for this purpose so maybe by spraying some alcohol onto a paper towel and then wiping down the wands until they are clean would work. Obviously, this would have to be done EACH time before putting the wand back into the tube.
Goss-could this work? Or could the wands themselves be sprayed and wiped?
I had a very amiture exserance with being a makeup artist lol was in my school makeup crew 4 our musical and in past years they did no clean things and ppl were getting sick so we spent like 3 weeks going throught thing cleaning brushes disinfecting thing and to keep thing clean we did this very same thing so yea by the way i luved doing the makeup so how wud u say a good way to mabey go into this makeup artist in the future wud be?
The most concentrated forms of ethanol (100%) and isopropyl alcohol (100%) are less bactericidal than mixtures of alcohol and water because proteins are not denatured readily in the absence of water. Dry bacterial cells are more resistant to bactericidal action than moist bacterial cells. It has been reported that 70% and 50% ethanol killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis more rapidly than 95% when the organism was suspended in water or sputum.
Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, and coma. Use in well-ventilated areas and use protective gloves while using. Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or absorption.
Viruses aren't able to survive if they aren't on a host (aka living thing). So, it doesn't matter if your make-up somehow manages to get infected with a virus, as it's an inanimate object.
Thank you for this video. I have been using 90% alcohol for years to swipe my brushes when I want to use the same brush to dip in a different color. This is an amazing tip and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. I have just started applying makeup to others and wondered how to disinfect my palettes. There are many videos on cleaning brushes but this is the first one I've seen on disinfecting makeup. Brilliant!
hi thanks so much for this :-) i got some from boots yesterday ! i have bad skin acne , redness etc i have for years so i really wanted something to clean my makeup as i always double dip ! i never would have known about this so thank u :-)

i really don't think there's any way to disinfect things like mascara or tubed lipgloss... those come with wands and you usually double or triple dip.

Thank you for showing this. Alcohol is how we disinfect our hands at the hospital. It's the drying process that kills the bacteria.

From a hygeine freak, here's a few tips that trump spray alcohols which only kill about 98% of bacteria. High level ultraviolet wands, they're about $30 off eBay tops, and kill 99.99% of germs, followers by a good dose of sunlight. Sunlight however will make algae and some fungii bloom; so in the case of something that may be infected with that, ensure you have no metal parts in the container and bung it in the microwave oven for 15 or so seconds. Vastly superior to alcohol! <3

On the Boots website it mentions prescription required for surgical spirit and iso, but I went to Boots today asked at the checkout, the lady went and got it for me off the shelf was not behind the counter.

When you disinfect your palettes, i'm guessing the alcohol stays in the makeup....so does that have an effect on clients skin??
amybaby18 1 year ago
@amybaby18 the idea of using alcohol is that it evaporates very quickly and it does not stay in your makeup, and doesn't ruin it either that's why he did swatches at the end :) I use alcohol to clean my makeup and in seconds everything's dry again. Another thing, if the alcohol somehow managed to stay in the product, nothing happens cause rubbing alcohol it's meant to be used on people's skin, for scratches etc. hope it helps!

from all the makeup disinfecting videos i've seen they say rubbing alcohol shouldn't be used cuz it changes the color of your eyeshadows. but you seem to have no problem. You even stated to doing it everyday. Thanx for the vid really helped alot.

I do not recommend using rubbing alcohol. It contains isopropyl (a denaturant) which is an oil. After cotinued use (especially on dry products) it can cause problems.
Instead, use plain straight grain alcohol at a liquor store. The kind that you buy and drink. It is 100% alcohol. It is more expensive (because of the taxes), but it is much better and does not smell
Rubbing alcohol IS grain alcohol with the denaturant isopropyl

Hi, is there a way to disinfect mascara?
fifitis03 1 year ago 29
@fifitis03 Unfortunately not. That's because mascara is within a tube and once you've put your used mascara wand back in, there is no way to sanitize the product. If you are a makeup artist, you can use only disposable mascara wands with no double-dipping to avoid contamination. If the mascara is only for your personal use, then just use the wand provided and replace your mascara about every three months. Yes, it's annoying to buy mascara all the time, but I'd rather do that than infect my eyes
Querubina18 1 year ago
@fifitis03 You could do a hard core cleaning by taking the wand and washing it really really well, otherwise just spraying the wand will work as long as you let the alcohol evaporate, which shouldn't be long enough to ruin the mascara on the brush! Hope that helps!
Ladyofdeath777 1 year ago
@fifitis03
instead of using the mascara wands that comes with mascara, use disposable mascara wands :)
dont double dip, use a new mascara wand every time.

Thanks for the tip, but is there anyway to disinfect lipglosses and mascaras? Would it be safe to actually pour some into either product and give a good mix and keep them uncapped so the alcohol would dry out? Would this harm these products?
lilme4321 1 year ago
@lilme4321 Possibly-beauty so clean has little wipes for this purpose so maybe by spraying some alcohol onto a paper towel and then wiping down the wands until they are clean would work. Obviously, this would have to be done EACH time before putting the wand back into the tube.
Goss-could this work? Or could the wands themselves be sprayed and wiped?

The most concentrated forms of ethanol (100%) and isopropyl alcohol (100%) are less bactericidal than mixtures of alcohol and water because proteins are not denatured readily in the absence of water. Dry bacterial cells are more resistant to bactericidal action than moist bacterial cells. It has been reported that 70% and 50% ethanol killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis more rapidly than 95% when the organism was suspended in water or sputum.

Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, and coma. Use in well-ventilated areas and use protective gloves while using. Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or absorption.

Viruses aren't able to survive if they aren't on a host (aka living thing). So, it doesn't matter if your make-up somehow manages to get infected with a virus, as it's an inanimate object.
