Sharing is caring? China’s sharing make-up pods spark debate over hygiene

A recently opened make-up sharing pod in Wuhan, China has sparked a heated debate over the potential ramifications of sharing make-up with strangers, according to a report published by the BBC.

The booths, which have been springing up all over China since launch in October last year, contain a dressing table, mirror and a selection of high-end beauty products. Users scan a QT code to pay a small fee to enter and can then trial the products inside.

The concept is designed to make use of luxury cosmetics accessible – however, several Weibo members pointed out their hygiene concerns over sharing make-up with strangers.
