Are You Sanitizing Your Tools???

As a makeup artist, I find myself coming into contact with many different people.  While meeting this diverse group of people, you find that many have variety of issues, regarding their skin.  It is very important that I keep my products, as sanitized as possible, when enhancing each individual's beauty.  Here are some tips to ensure that your tools are always ready for the next face:

1.     ALWAYS DISINFECT the work surface before unpacking your kit. (Using alcohol is always a great way to ensure sanitation)

2.     ALWAYS BE MINDFUL OF SANITATION PRACTICE while working. (Are you cleaning your brushes after each use? Are you double dipping into products? Have your products expired?)

3.     Keep hand sanitizer, alcohol, cosmetic sanitizer, and brush cleaner on hand at all times.

Moisturizers/Primers: Dispense product onto steel palette, wipe nozzle/tip clean with tissue, place cap on product. Use a brush to apply product to client. Discard product after 1 year.

Liquid Foundations/Concealers: Dispense product onto steel palette (by pumping, pouring, or dipping cotton swab into product; do not double dip), wipe nozzle/opening clean with tissue, place cap on product. Use a brush to apply product to client. Discard product after 1 year.

Cream Foundations/Concealers/Blushes/Gels: Scrape out product onto steel palette with a plastic or stainless steel spatula. Use a brush to apply product to client. Discard product after 1 year.

Powder Foundations/Blushes/Eyeshadows: Use a brush to apply product to client. Spray the product with a sanitizer mist. Allow to dry. Optional step: Wipe surface clean with a tissue. Discard product after 3-5years.

Loose Powders: Tap product onto steel palette. Use a brush or sponge to apply product to client. Discard product after 3-5 years.

Eye & Lip Pencils: Apply product to client. Wipe surface with a sanitizer wipe or dip in 91% isopropyl or higher alcohol; allow to dry. Sharpen pencil. Discard product after 1 year.

Liquid/Gel/Glitter Liners: Apply product to onto steel palette. Use a liner brush to apply product to client or dip a disposable liner brush into product, apply to client. Do not double dip; use another disposable applicator, if more product is needed. Discard product after 3-6 months.

Mascara: Use disposable mascara wands! Dip into mascara tube, bend the spoolie to a 90* angle,  and apply product to client. Do not double dip; use another disposable applicator, if more product is needed. Discard product after 3-6months. If you frequently use this product, I recommend deposing after about a month.

Lipgloss: Use disposable doe foot or lip brush applicators. Dip into lipgloss tube, apply product to client. Do not double dip: use another disposable applicator, if more product is need. Discard after 1 year.
