You don't have to be concerned at all as long as you SAW her open a brand new brush and use it on you. Now the only issue I could see you running into is if for instance the little dish of lipgloss she puts the brush into may be contaminated ONLY if she were to put the brush in it put it on someones lips, then RE put the brush into the lipgloss. But the chances of that happening are pretty slim. Alot of those cosmetic consultants realize the possiblity of transmission of viruses and are aware of not doing such a thing.
