How you feel about "sharing" make-up? - Page 6

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

I don't mind sharing with close friends / family who understand cleanliness, but even then I don't share mascara, eyeliner etc. I have a thing about the eyes, all sort of germs could get in there and I'm not about to take that risk! I was on a night out a while back and re-applying some makeup in the ladies, and some girl asks if she could use some of my lip gloss. I had a bit to drink and glared at her and said NO WAY. Harsh, but I think it was a lot of pent up anger from people trying to steal my makeup! hehe!!

Wait, some complete stranger asked to use your lipgloss?! I can understand a friend asking, but that's just GROSS!!!

I share with my best friend. But shes the only person. Or family. But close family. I don't know, I don't really see a problem however, i never share brushes and that sort of thing. I use my own.
I don't really share though...never had the need to. I don't really share drinks even cause i have a certain phobia haha.

I don't mind sharing lipgloss with my friends but there's no way I'm sharing my mascara! I've got like allergy in my eyes and I've got to clean them everyday with drops... They get RED when there's smoke so ... it's not a good idea!

My makeup is off limits to everyone! lol. I have it in a locked train case. I do always carry carmex with me but luckily I have never had anyone ask to use it though. Except my mom like once.

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

I've let my best friends use some of my stuff like eyeshadows when they were at my house (I don't let stuff leave my house), but not mascara. Chapstick/lip balm very rarely among my closest friends. And I've used some of my makeup on my mom for fun, but she used her own mascara.

But hell no to anyone that isn't very very close to me. And wow to the stories of complete strangers asking people to use their stuff... that's just crazy!

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

I would if a family member asked nicely and it wasn't like an everyday thing or something. But my brushes~don't touch them please. lol I would feel like I had someone's elses face oil on my brush all the time then.(yucky) I never get asked to share anyways though because I don't have any friends besides my bf. lol

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

You just gotta learn to say "NO!"

It's something I had a lot of difficulty learning to do, but it's worth it.

If you don't want someone touching your stuff, why should you have to hide it away?

Also if that person can't appreciate why you said no, they probably aren't the sort of person you should allow near your stuff anyways!

I will happily lend my Bf a lip balm, and nail polish is like currency in my social circle, but if it's going on my face no way!

The part that gets me SOOO MUCH! is when people borrow without asking, "Oh hai, I jest used tha last of yer favrit impossible 2 replace gold indian liner, but it'z kewl, coz I'm sorry! "

I used to happily share anything with my friends but now I'm pretty shitty about lending anything all, it either comes back tainted or not at all!

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

I have on occasion. I had a friend over getting ready at my place with me and one of her friends came too that I didn't really know and she asked if she could use my gold eyeshadow and I was like, "Uhm... I guess" 'cause this girl can be a huge bitch I've found and I didn't quite know what to say. She took a brush and frigging DUG IT INTO my eye shadow and good lord. I went nuts. I can't STAND it. Frigging use your own damn makeup, leave mine alone. I paid for it, it's MINE.

I'll share with my makeup with my daughter, sister and mum but hate to do otherwise. If it can't be cleaned and I don't know your germ level, then don't ask to borrow is my thought.

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

No, not anymore.
I shared a lipgloss with a friend, but then i got really nasty spots, since then, i don't share anything!
If someone wants to borrow something, i politley say that i have very sensitive skin, and no.
They are fine with that and don't ask me again.
If someone is over my house and we want to play with make up, i use disposable brushes, never dip twice. thats it. I don't let anybody touch my makeup on their own...no.

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

I have no problem sharing most things with my sister (but she has her own brushes so doesn't use mine). I also use my stuff when I do my mom's makeup because she has none of her own!

I would have no problem sharing with a close friend either if they ask.

Re: How you feel about "sharing" make-up?

I absolutely hate sharing make-up with others, even with me closest friends, which probably makes me come off as stingy according to them
