Question 1

what to do if i do not feel confident without makeup?

Accepted Answer

Self Image: This sounds like an everyday insecurity. But if it is part of a larger problem of self confidence that is getting in the way of pursuing your goals and/or your social relationships then it would be good for you to consult with a Clinical Psychologist for help. Medication might also be useful in addition to psychotherapy.

Question 2

can you tell me can i randomly become allergic to makeup?

Accepted Answer

Allergic dermatitis: Random might as well be the term for it; we tend to use the term idiopathic. Though we understand what process is involved, we don't know why certain people develop allergy to products applied on the skin. Cosmetic allergy is very common, and occurs sometimes after years of use. Patch testing can help identify the specific ingredient causing the allergy. Seek out a board certified allergist.

Question 3

can you tell me is it okay to wear makeup over my wounds?

Accepted Answer

No: If the wounds are open then do not apply make-up over or near the wounds. This can aggravate the wounds and potentially impair the healing process.

Question 4

does wearing makeup on a daily basis for many years age one faster?

Accepted Answer

Unclear &amp; largely: unknown. There are too many variables. While damage is more likely, they may be also some protective effects. Yet who is going to do and pay for the fantastic complexity involved in doing prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials on a large enough group of individuals over many, many years to find out?

Question 5

what is a good makeup to use if you get brakeouts ? like one that isn't as bad for you or that may help ?

Accepted Answer

No make up: Most chemicals are irritating to inflamed skin. Just wash it thoroughly.......your natural beauty will glow.

Question 6

are mac makeup products non-comedogenic?

Accepted Answer

Look at label.: The MAC website says nothing, either way. All non-comedogenic makeup products will say "non-comedogenic" somewhere on the label, or in the package insert. As a general rule, powders and thin lotions or suspensions are non-comedogenic.

Question 7

could makeup cause a fever?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It is possible that if you share your makeup with an infected person, that you could transfer an infectious agent to yourself.  But if the only one who uses it is you, it is very unlikely that any serious organism could be at work.

Question 8

what is the nutrient makeup of semen?

Accepted Answer

Protein: Mostly proteinaceous material.

Question 9

how can i sanitize my makeup brushes?

Accepted Answer

Medical Questions: I am sorry this question is not being answered, but it may not be in the scope of our medical practice. I have no recommendations about how you keep these items clean. But, i would guess warm water and some soap of some kind.  Your girlfriends may have some tricks to take home with you.

Question 10

i need to kno if i have ring worm?! and if i cud of gotten it from makeup?!  it's scaley.

Accepted Answer

Ringworm=fungus: Fungal infections are rarely spread from makeup. Many skin conditions are also scaly, such as Psoriasis, or Seborrheic Dermatitis, Contact Dermatitis. A microscopic exam of the surface dead skin can be done by a Dermatologist, to check for fungus, or patch testing to check for allergic triggers. Sometimes a skin biopsy is needed, to diagnose more elusive conditions.
