Have I contracted/been exposed to herpes? Help!

I was dragged out to the mall by my family to this make-up shop. I saw this glittery foundation make-up and I wanted to see how it matched, so I rubbed my finger on it and tried to wipe it off, but it wouldn't come off. Then, about like 5 minutes later, I started biting my nails (it's a habit of mine), not remembering/realising that I still had the foundation make-up on my finger. Now I'm scared and afraid that I might have been exposed, or even worse, contracted herpes. Help! Thank you!!

If you ate the make up you still have zero chance lol

Absolutely no chance of hsv from this. The virus dies when it's exposed and I highly doubt the make up ever came into contact with the virus.
Again no possible way you could have been exposed.
Hope this helps

So even if I were to bite my nails in like, less than a minute after trying to wipe it off, I wouldn't contract herpes? Wicked. Thank you so much!
