Sometimes, certain things in life seem like common sense to you, so it can be quite baffling when you realize others don’t see them the same way—especially when they act on that ignorance.
Takemakeuptesters in stores, for example. Some people understand that they’re full of bacteria and wouldn’t dream of using them directly on their faces. Others, even if they know the risks, choose to ignore them, hoping they’ll be the lucky exception. Just like content creator@jessebs9, who recently came online to show what happened to her after a seemingly innocent test of an eyeliner.

Recently, a content creator on TikTok posted a video showing what happened to her eye after she used a makeup tester at Sephora
When you go into any makeup store, whether it’s Sephora, ULTA, or anywhere else, you will find stands with makeup testers. Theoretically, as their name suggests, those are placed there so you can try out makeup products before purchasing them. You have to see whether its shade,color, formula or anything similar fits your preferences.
And since so many people end up touching those samples, the transmission of bacteria, fungus, or any other kind of nasty thing is quite likely. So, they cancauseallergies, skin irritations, herpes simplex virus, or in the worst-case scenario, something like E. coli.

One day, she decided to try out aneyelinertester at the mentioned store. Then, soon after, some kind of “creature” started growing in the same place, which she showed in the video. At least, when she did show it, it was way smaller than a few days before, but it was still evident.
The tester she used was an eyeliner, and pretty soon after, her eye was unpleasantly infected

While in most cases, aneyeinfection heals well and isn’t too much of a danger to health in the long term, it isn’t a joyous experience. So, avoiding getting it in the first place is always the best path.
Similarly, makeup-related rules apply to your personal cosmetics as well. Keep your brushes, and makeup, especially the ones that touch your eye area, ascleanas possible. Besides that, you should steer clear from touching your face unnecessarily, especially if your hands are unwashed. Maintain a mold- and pest-free environment, and watch out for injuries and all things like that so youdon’t haveto experience a nasty eye infection.

“Your reminder, sis”: She took to TikTok to warn others to not use the testers, but many people there were flabbergasted that it wasn’t common sense for her
