Mmm strippers.

And saliva.

I don't know where I was going with that but I'm glad people are participating.
And...I think we're all guilty at one point or another of licking a makeup brush. >.<

 

[coachkitten]

I love these! I really need to work on submitting mine!

 

[aziajs]

The saliva thing grosses me out. Eek! But, I love the visual they used.

 

[sharkbytes]

Aw, I liked these~! Thanks for sending them in, whoever you are

 

[shootout]

I always look forward to these.
I'm going to have to come up with a good one.

I personally have never used saliva for wetting my brushes, but I do have a good friend who's been a MUA for about 2 decades-was once a manager for Smashbox-and she licks her brushes all the time. She doesn't use her brushes on others though, so its forgivable...sort of.

lol the tongue thing is funny, heck i would do it too if i didnt have water near by. We need to submit our "secrets" girls!

I'm not comfortable with the licking brushes one... its in the same bracket as blowing on brushes to remove excess. Makes me cringe a little!

 

[uh_oh_disco]

The stripper one made me chuckle; I'm sure about 70% of people who use brushes still do - on occasion - lick them out of laziness.

 

[k.a.t]

lol @ the saliva one...i don't think i have, but if no water was available nearby then sure, why not? haha (it is your own saliva =P)

 

[hotmodelchiq]

GUILTY!!! I lick my 266 too lol... hey my spit my body lmao... and If your tired of being mistaken for a stripper maybe its time to get an issue of INSTYLE and reinvent your image...

I love these, they crack me up.

What's the problem with blowing on your brushes?

I don't see anything wrong with that!

 

[DirtyPlum]

^^I guess its the same as sneezing on a brush or whatever and then smearing that brush on your face and eyes. I'm a germaphobe, doesnt matter if they are my own germs lol.. just makes me cringe. I once flinched at work when a customer kept on blowing the excess e/s off one of my brushes.

 

[Tracey1025]

These are all so funny LOL

 

[girloflowers]

mmm tasty makeup brushes om nom nom

love it!

 

[aimee]

eek i would not lick my brushes but im guilty of blowing excess eyeshadow off my brushes and i blow on my lashes because i think the glue starts to get tacky a lil faster haha

i just do it when i do my own make up though
