That is so trifling! I love my little collection of makeup and the only people I usually let touch it are my close friends. Now let me tell ya'll what pissed me off the other day...I'm in a dance group and we just recently had our Spring Showcase. A lot of folks wanted me to do their makeup so I brought my itty-bitty kit thinking that I would have enough time. Turns out that we didn't have enough time and everyone started grabbing my stuff...I swear I almost broke a few hands that day. And I'm missing an eyeliner pencil

I don't like people mess around with my makeup unless they ask for permission and I'm there watching over... and moreover I'm such a hygienic freak.

I will never share my makeup with anybody...I also know that makeup items should never be shared...

 

[brandiisamonkey]

Theres ONE person that I trust enough to let play with anything in my make up collection and that is My best friend, shes more of an OCD neat freak than I am lol...


I once let my cousin (whom I love dearly) use some of my shadows one night when we were going watch Pauly Shore do stand up and I watched her SCRAPE my shadows, I wanted to cry, thank god there regular shadows.

My fiancee also is a clutz and knocked over one of my palletes and broke about 3 shadows but he replaced them so I couldnt be mad lol, he was SO SCARED to come tell me what he had done lol.

As long as they ask and don't use my mascara, I don't mind. When I was living at home my mom would use stuff of mine and it didn't bother me.

 

[queenofdisaster]

i used to forget my makeup bag with friends, and when i got it back stuff was used and mysteriously missing... it really irks me.

it is gold to me. LOL! it takes a lot of money and patience to build a great MAC collection and people using it and snatchin it isn't acceptable!

When my sister was living here it would bother me not so much because i didn't want to share, but because she's so careless with her stuff! Or sometimes she'd accidently mix my makeup with hers in her makeup bag, and it's just like.. ! I hated having to go looking for my stuff.

But still, she's my sister so it was never that much of a big deal, I dont know how i'd feel about someone else though.

Once my brother's girlfriend asked to use some of my pigments. Now, I only pick up a little pigment stuck to the plastic cover thing underneath the lid (that's before I smartened up and transferred them to little sample jars), so somehow I imagined that's how she planned to use it too. SO dumb to assume, I know, but I guess it was a subconscious thing. I was in my room and she was in the bathroom applying her makeup so I wasn't watching what she was doing (second dumb thing to do). Needless to say the absolute worst happened and she dropped my entire, almost brand new, Coco pigment jar onto the bathroom floor. I heard the sound of plastic hitting the tile and my heart just stopped. Luckily back then D'Bohemia had just been released so I went to the store and picked up another jar *phew*

Now NOONE sees, let alone touch, my collection. Ever. I'm far too traumatised.

But don't you see.....MAC IS Gold to us!!! :!:

 

[calliestar]

Honestly, I know what you mean, because I am a total germaphobe. There are only 3 people that I would probably let touch my makeup and they are 1) my older sister Christy 2) my friend Alex who is like a sister and 3) my little cousin, Caitlin. And the only reason those 3 are priveleged is because I know that the first two know how to handle makeup properly and would never use dirty brushes/applicators/hands with makeup, much less someone else's.

 

[modernclassics]

I'm completely obsessive about my makeup and absolutely hate it when people go though my makeup bag and randomly apply stuff. It goes beyond makeup though...I hate it when people go through any of my stuff without permission period.

The way I see it, if it's cheapie stuff then go ahead but no I don't want you to go through my highend stuff because it's expensive! I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of.

 

[glittergoddess27]

I don't mind my two best friends using my MU,.. they understand my obsession and the cost and will treat it with care,.. they know they are to sanitize the brushes and use my disposable mascara wands and lippie brushes (I use these also) and not double dip,.. anybody else,.. I will offer to do a "make over on them" if I know them well enough. I would never share stuff in the bathroom at the club though,..or with anyone I didnt trust to observe my rules,..

 

[unicorns]

I don't mind when my makeup savvy friends use it, it's just the few who know nothing. They're just like "OMG MAKEUP" and rub it on themselves. I'm like, "Ehhh, that costs money, guys..."

 

[ostentatious]

I have two sisters. One ruined my Stila re:Orient palette

I try to keep my makeup in my room instead of the bathroom where it is more accessable to them, but I often see them darting in and out of my bedroom when they're getting ready.

 

[llucidity]

Yes it does bother me a lot if they swipe my powders with their fingers. I mean look at the testers at the counters! Do I want my makeup to look like that? No way.

Once I was getting ready for prom at my best friend's house and her mom was helping her do her makeup, conveniently took the lippie I was just using and slathered it all over my bestie's lips. She didn't even use a Q tip or lip brush. I could only watch in horror. I guess I was in too much shock to dump it away. It's still in the bottom of my makeup stash.

 

[prsfynestmami]

I am extremely possessive about my makeup. When you spend as much as I have you tend to be a little selfish with it. But the main reason why I don't let anyone use my makeup is because I want it to stay clean and new. I've got friends who trash their makeup like it's nothing. And I'm not talking about drug store brands here... I got in my friends car a few weeks ago and she had an MSF on the floor of her car.. the case was broken and it looked all gross. If she doesn't have respect for her own things, why should she respect mine?

I totally agree. (I love your signature by the way)

I'm lucky in some respects. I have mostly guy friends who have no interest in makeup whatsoever.

 

[litlaur]

I don't live with any other females either, but I have a traincase with a lock for when I travel.

My niece absolutely loves makeup. I don't mind putting it on her, but I don't want her going in to my makeup without asking, and now she HAS to ask

Also, I pick out the stuff that I'm willing to use on her. I keep certain items (MSFs, Coco Beach, Lucky Green) in the traincase because I know she'll want to use whatever she sees.

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

I'm 50/50. There are certain things that are absolute no no's, like eyeliner and mascara. I don't mind sharing eyeshadow as long as they use a clean brush and lipgloss and blush is okay too. Foundation as long as they use a disposabul sponge and so forth.
They cannot by any means borrow anything of mine. But I don't mind doing other peoples makeup and using all my stuff. I do my Mom and lil' sis when I visit them. But I make sure they have a clean face and clean hands first before we get started
