In 1995 I did a Bacteriology module as part of my Zoology degree. For
an experimental project I chose to test my make up and brushes for
bacteria. The results were like a horror film. Even relatively new
Kohl pencils, eye liners and lipsticks were hugely infected with
various bacteria - since then I have applied fake 'kohl'. I get a
black eyeshadow and a very fine paint brush (I use actual artists
paint brushes because they are good quality and relaively cheap so I
can throw them out every few weeks) dip the brush in some water, then
in the powder and then apply the mix around my eyes. Clean the brush
and let it dry.

Really simple (you probably already do this!) and keeps the infection
down to an minimum.

This company - which is part of 'LUSH' do a kohl powder which has had
rave reviews and knowing the ethics of the company, unlikely to
contain anything horrible!
