Beauty Cultures

2025
This project investigates the cleanliness of makeup testers at four stores in Singapore by swabbing samples and monitoring bacterial growth.

Through this study, we aim to visualise the unseen risks lurking in shared beauty products and raise awareness of their potential health hazards.

Outcomes
Using a microscope, we were able to take a closer look into the textures of the bacteria growth and were surprised with the images we took. The close-ip images were so pretty!
