You're right, the bacteria on your fingertips or skin can get into liquid makeup and breed icky things. So a good idea is to follow the 3 month rule with *any* liquid makeup. One makeup consultant I spoke with suggested putting the makeup on a piece of tissue before applying like the makeup consultants do in department stores. Or, you can use a new cotton swab to "dab" the makeup out of the jar if it is large enough. This keeps your liquid makeup cleaner, ahd should cut down on the bacteria. Thanks for writing Emily!

You mention about concealer and other liquid makeups. I use my finger to apply my concealer and my cream eye shadows. I was wondering, though, should I buy new concealer after a certain amount of time? Hi, I do have one question. You mention about concealer and other liquid makeups.
