I agree.
But usually, since I'm one of the few of my friends that are really into makeup, they ask me to do it for them. I love it, and I always feel like maybe they'll get into it to. But if they are all over it and have no idea what they are doing (the other day I come back from the bathroom and she is putting BRONZER from her lashline to her brows) it is like, uh? I am anal about the positions of everything, so as long as they put everything where it belongs, its fine. Spreading the wealth LOL, I'd love to be able to teach them one or two things. Sometimes they invite me to do their makeup before an event and I love that too. Its fun! haha.
Otherwise, my mom is allowed to go into my room and use all my stuff while I'm out. Shes my mom! LOL. But a lot of my stuff is colors she would never use, so she sticks to certain things. I end up giving her things that end up too dark on me. Its a trade off, she loves me, I love her back and let her use my m/u. LOL.

Omg i get soo angry when people get my makeup, with out asking!!!its like are your braindead or something!!!like get your own...sucker!!! I sometimes let my mom use my make up but not usually becuase she doesnt even use it alot so its like whatever...my sister only uses it when shes gonna go out...but she has her own so i just put it on her face...and sometimes use some of my own on her..only sometimes!!lol...but one thing that i really hate is when people start touching my brushes!!!omg i get so mad!!!They play around with the bristles as if they were a toy or something!! I always have to wash them after someone touches the brsitles and no one uses them w/out my supervision!!!lol!!

With me I hate it when ppl. go into my things and use them without asking me or me knowing what they used. If they ask to use it I give a little instructions first and I either hand them a clean brush or a disposable wand. But I never borrow it away for more than like 5 or 10 minutes. I mean they pretty much have to apply it on the spot to get to use it lol. Its not because I am stingy w. my MU because I would apply it on them in a heartbeat and its not because Im a germaphobe I just like things the way I like them and on my vanity everything has a place and I know where it is when I need it. Its just really because this is my thing its my passion and I will share it but just dont invade it and destroy it please!

Thats how I feel about that lol

I have this particular thing where I only dent one part of anything solid; I only swatch my eyeshadow in a corner, blush only on one side, cream concealor-again only one corner, and all my lipsticks have the exact shape of my lips. I hate it when people ignore that and smear the whole thing, ruining the previously untouched parts.

I'm only icky about lip stuff and mascara or eyeliner, I usually sanitize pencils, everything else can be used by my friends, except if it's Chanel, don't ask...

ugh. it's a catch-22. that sucks! i'd just tell her she's seriously over-doing the 'payback' thing. just because you used her stuff (respectfully and in small amounts) once doesn't mean she has full reign over your makeup collection.

yeah, it bothers me a bit. Just because they don't really understand how much I put into it ($$-wise and caretaking lol i sound anal). I used to have that problem when I had a lot of female friends back in school (I don't anymore, and the ones that I do have don't wear much makeup, if any) lmao I have much more trouble with my gay guy friends getting into my makeup.

if someone comes over and wants to play with it, though, I usually steer them in the direction of my cheap stuff (stuff i plan on swapping or don't care if it gets damaged) OR I'll do something like make them a pigment sample so they can take it home and aren't digging into my jar.

the only time anybody besides me really uses it anymore is when i'm doing makeup on somebody else and i've dipped into my own personal stash.

then of course I don't mind b/c I'm the one who decides how it's used!

No one uses my makeup unless Im applying it - not even my fiance who loves wearing eyeliners. Mum can use my eyeshadows because Ive really impressed on her the hygene thing
At $30 an eyeshadow I cant afford to let anyone use my stuff and get germs all over it. I have a very poor immune system and have ended up with serious infections from people smearing their grubby fingers in my eye products without me knowing. So on the very rare occasion someone gets into my stash and I find out about it I have to toss whatever they were using, its just not worth me getting all sick over.

I'm lucky I don't have any sisters that use my MU or wear my clothes

My friends aren't as into makeup as I am so I don't have a problem with them generally. But I rather they ask me instead of just barge in and take things, because I would totally offer to do their makeup for them

. Besides, this way I can make sure everything is sterilized properly. Also, if they liked my pigments I have no problems giving them sample jars (just don't mix your stuff with mine).

I admit I'm a germaphobe. For example I HATE it when someone asks to use my lip balms. I actually throw it out once someone else uses it. I know I sound like a nut but you can get cold sores from this kind of contact. Also, I will never share mascara or eye liners. I know people who's had pink eye/eye infections and that's not fun to catch either.

i dont like that either.. i once had this friend that came over and she went in my room and pulled all my makeup out and was playing with it when i walk in on her she had my chanel lipstick that comes in a lil case with mirrior and lip brush, she used her fingers instead of the brush and made dents in it i was sooo upset but tried to be nice and told her to please ask befor you use my things.. well a couple days later we were in the car she pulls out MY chanel lipstick and use her fingers to put it on her cheeks im like wtf. so i ask her why is it in your possesion she said im borrowing it/ with out asking sounds like stealing so i gave her the lippie and she is no longer my friend
