Can Germs Live on Makeup?
Germs like bacteria and viruses can live on makeup and they can be spread from person to person. The lifespan of these bugs outside the body can vary from seconds, to minutes to years depending on the type of germ and the conditions. A lot depends on humidity. Germs need moisture to live and makeup is a potential breeding ground. Because of this, most makeup is antibacterial but that only lasts for about a year, so check the expiration date. If you're concerned about germs in your makeup you can kill the germs by putting your makeup in the freezer overnight or cleaning it with alcohol.
