What do MAC makeup artists uses to clean their lipsticks after using it on another client?
When you go and get your makeup done by any MAC artist, they always dip the lipsticks in some kind of liquid base when they want it clean and what not (or before they use it on you or another client). What is it? Alcohol? If yes, how much percentage? Etc. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks!

It is alcohol that are in covered glass beakers at the side of the stand that’s only for our (the makeup artists) use. Though i work in a MAC store, i never have had to fill them up as its my managers job. But, i have a feeling its isopropyl alcohol which is 70%. Its dipped in just to clean all the bacteria off of the lipstick from where people come in toucha nd play with the colors, and to stop the cross contamination of contra-indications when the client puts it on their lips. Though we mostly do prefer to dip it in the alcohol then use a lip brush to apply.
Hope this helps.
