It is not only what you are using that needs to thought about, but how old your stuff is too. Makeup does go bad and carries germs. If you are using sponge applicators, replace them often. Brushes need to be cleaned too. Alcohol works really well because it dries quickly. You should never share your eye or lip makeup. If you get pink eye - throw everything out or clean it really good! Don't forget to change your toothbrush too. Every three months is supposed to be good, but if you get thrush - make sure you change the tooth brush often!!! While your at it, check your medication expiration dates...I do this every six months, make a list and replace what was thrown out.
