People love Sephora because you are able to try on almost anything you want, but the bad thing is that it’s unsupervised, so makeup samples are left out there for who knows how long, multiple amounts of people try it on, some even double-dip with the disposable applicators, so it’s a breeding ground for bacteria.
The best thing you could do is visit a beauty makeup counter at department stores like Nordstrom or Carson’s where the samples are supervised, so if you need something, a beauty consultant will offer you a sample, so you don’t really need to worry about catching anything. Some stores go as far as providing individual unopened single-use samples.
We advise against trying on makeup at beauty stores where the makeup is left unsupervised. If you want to use disposable applicators, we advise to never apply the makeup directly on your lips, eyes, or face, because you can catch germs of bacteria that can spread quickly. Instead, try makeup on the back of your hand or even your neck which is less sensitive than your face and wash it off immediately, just in case.
Don’t be shy, and ask for help, since this is the best way to get the best recommendations since the beauty consultants are more experienced and can offer you great beauty advise.
