Whether to do hair or makeup first is a matter of personal preference. However, there are some general tips to keep in mind when using cosmetics products of any type, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) :
- Read the label. Follow all directions and heed all warnings.
- Wash your hands before you use the product.
- Do not share makeup.
- Keep the containers clean and tightly closed when not in use, and protect them from temperature extremes.
- Throw away cosmetics if there are changes in color or smell.
- Use aerosols or sprays cans in well-ventilated areas. Do not use them while you are smoking or near an open flame. It could start a fire.
When it comes to choosing hair and makeup products, its important to be familiar with the product you are using. Be sure to read the entire label, including the list of ingredients, warnings, and tips on how to use the product safely. Some ingredients commonly found in cosmetics products can be harmful to human health, such as coal tar hair dyes used in hair colorants, which can cause allergic reactions, hair loss, and injuries to the eyes. Therefore, its recommended to avoid certain ingredients in skincare and makeup products, such as parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.
In summary, there is no right or wrong order to do hair or makeup. However, its important to follow safety guidelines when using cosmetics products and to be aware of the ingredients in the products you use.
