If you're seeing those for packed shadows, generally it's used as a pressing liquid, then left to evaporate so the product stays a pressed powder with virtually no alcohol left behind. You could use water for this purpose though it's slower and would likely need to be heated to become completely dry, or you could use high proof ethanol instead of isopropyl alcohol. There are also binding/pressing agents you can buy that may contain any number of ingredients and may or may not have alcohol.
In a product meant to remain liquid, alcohol of any type is drying to the skin. A less harsh alternative would be witch hazel, which is usually in a base of well diluted isopropyl alcohol and water, witch hazel is also astringent on its own and thus will be less drying than household strength ISO. Generally anything that's called a 'toner' is alcohol based.
Check if they are dermatologist tested and if not do some research but if you want DIY product rather be safe an get it from trusted sources. I wouldn't use them if I were you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
