MAKEUP KIT SANITATION: Hygiene practices for makeup artists!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- Being a makeup artist isn't just about how well you can do makeup...it involves A LOT more! One the most important things in this industry is being HYGENIC! I've seen a ton of makeup artists that do not know how to properly sanitize the items in their makeup kit. With the recently pandemic and other diseases that can be spread, being sanitary is one of the top things to know when becoming a makeup artist.

Way back in cosmetology school, my instructor made us cut off all the applicators that came with our products lol. Pretty good way to keep you in the habit of being sanitary!
Yes I have heard of people doing that! I think it’s a great thing to do to not be tempted to use the actual applicator on clients.

So glad to hear that! Remember that you don’t always have to be 100% prepared to start. Fulfill that dream girl! :)
I admire your professionalism and dedication ❤
Thank you so much!!
So helpful and informative! I was seaching for videos by experts in the field of make-up application and this covered everything in detail.
I'm so glad this helped! Please consider subscribing if you haven't already :)
With the spoolie wands I find once I have dip it into the mascara I bend the wand at the opening of the tube, it makes it easier to apply and also stops me from accidentally re-dipping back into the tube.
That’s a great idea Cassandra! Thanks for sharing :)
Hi! I'm overhauling our school's theater department and sanitation is at the top of the list- from costumes to makeup, I need to give my students solid info. This video fits the bill perfectly! A lot of the sanitizing techniques are similar to what I learned years ago but it was GREAT to hear an update about gels and liners as well as affirm some of my own practices. Thank you, thank you for your awesome, non-nonsense, efficient video!!!
Oh that’s amazing!! I am so glad that you liked this video and it solidified your own practice: :)
Thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video!
For mascaras and brow gels I usually take the original brush off so that it doesn’t get used on anyone no matter what.
Yes that’s definitely an option! I feel like that would especially be handier for newer artists do they don’t get tempted!
Switch the towel to a silicone mat. Way more hygienic 😊
I’ve definitely thought of this but can’t find a good mat that is the right size and not too heavy! If you have suggestions I would love to hear them :)
I love the single use applicators. I also like the acrylic palette as putting stuff on the back of your hand like some people do might seem innocent enough to you but some people might not appreciate having stuff put on their face that was sitting on your skin just a moment ago
Yes! I feel the exact same way! I’m not going to lie, I originally got trained to work off the back of my hand and then a year in realized that people are not 100% down with that at all times.
Thank you Julie! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Hi Julie..thank u for such an informative video..you are such a sweetheart🥰🥰🥰

The squeek when you cleaned the powder cap. Oh my god 🤣 the goodebumps wont go away
Oh no I'm sorry! haha that's never a pleasant sound
Thanks
Julie Ruby
OMg I need to learn a lot, thanks for sharing this video
I’m so glad you found this helpful!
Thanks
Omg you are so sweet Terri!!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Wow i learned a lot. Thanks😊😊
So happy to hear that! :)
Hi Julie, first off just a big thank you for all your positive affirmations within your content you certainly have given me the confidence to reignite my mua journey after a looong hiatus. Moving forward into the bridal industry was hoping you might come up w a video about ur fav brushes as buying many multiples to have sets for each client especially when working w larger groups is smart but also u would have minimal in ur individual sets so talking through this would be useful aswell as perhaps where u buy lashes in bulk. I’m a little apprehensive of some of the bulk packs on line which work out economical but unsure of quality???
Hi Electra! I am so happy that you’ve been enjoying all of the videos and they’ve been helpful for you starting up again :) I actually have done a brush belt tour on my channel already and really don’t have favorites necessarily. All of them technically are 😂 As far as lashes go, you can buy bulk lashes from Frends Beauty and also get a pro discount on them as well. I personally buy the Ardell Naked lashes for most all my clients now but unfortunately there’s no buying in bulk for those.
@@julieruby thanks Julie, I thought you did. I must have been a little too tired looking for it. Will check out Frends, I’m also a big fan of the Ardell as they are just flattering without being OTT.
@@electrastojanovic2436 No worries! Here is the link to it if you haven't found it yet: th-cam.com/video/-kkqsctOAMc/w-d-xo.html
If you ever want to know if I made a video, you could always go to my channel in the search bar and type in key words like "brushes" :) It may be easier to find topics that way! Definitely check out Frends Beauty as well!
Hi Julie! You can SANITIZE sponges! Soak them in antibacterial dish soap to remove product. While wet pop them in the microwave for a few minutes. The high temp and radiation kills bacteria. Also can be done with your dish sponges. For those who love sponges. 😆😆😆😆😆 love your videos and watching you grow 🌱
Hi Jeanette! I still personally don’t trust it and it hasn’t been scientifically proven so I just want to make sure I’m taking the necessary precautions. That’s personally my own opinion though :) rather be safe than sorry! Thanks for watching the video girl!
For gel liners I sometimes spray it with 70% alcohol and roll it around on a paper towel then spray it again but everything else is defiately a scoop and palette situation. 😀🥰
Just make sure to sharpen it somehow as well or remove the first layer then you’re golden 👍🏻😁
Always a great video. Mykitco had great brushes holders! Just a FIY if you hate fake vanilla scents I love the cinema secrets brush cleaner lemon.
Thank you so much!! :) I didn’t realize they had it on a lemon scent interesting! I personally love vanilla and am not a fan of lemon so it works for me 😊
@@julieruby Ye it is newer. I believe it was released last year. I don't think a lot of people know they have that version. When I first started using CS cleaner in 2000 it didn't have a scent added, they added the vanilla a some point. I love how they removed the blue coloring too. Still today the best spot cleaner. Parian Spirit Brush Cleaner was a good one too.
@@NREnger oo they removed the blue too? That’s nice! I always get mine from CRC so they’re probably just using up the other ones. I’ve used Parian Spirit as well but didn’t like the citrus scent and I don’t felt like my brushes got as clean. I’ll definitely have to check out the clear version of Cinema Secrets though :) thanks for sharing!
@@julieruby I guess they only removed the color from lemon. That is odd.
Hi Julie thanks so much as a beginner this was so much help.Terri
I’m so glad this helped! I wish you all the best in your new makeup artist career :)
@@julierubythanks :)
Great video!!
Thank you so much! :)
Second time looking at this, I ordered almost everything from your Amazon links, I received my kit from OMA but needed to buy the disposable items. Thanks!
Yay I'm glad this video helped you! Sanitation is SO SO important!! I hope you enjoy the OMA course :) Thanks for the support Canela!
Hi Julie, I've been following you for quite awhile and I am still a fairly new MUA but I have learnt so so much from you!! I am currently on the same boat as you right now, working FT elsewhere and doing freelance makeup, it's definitely a hustle! Hope things are gonna work out soon so you can focus on doing makeup FT in the near future. Just wanted to thank you for putting all these content out for all to learn 🥰 Love from Singapore! - Eileen
Hi Eileen! Thank you so much for continuing to support me :) it’s greatly appreciated! I hope you can eventually quit your FT job as well. Hopefully we’ll both be able to do it soon! :)
I learned so much
I’m glad this video helped!!
Loved it
Thank you Kira!! :)
I have the pink mascara wands. Amazon is the best!!
It really is!!
Hey! Random thought… I’ll be doing it to my kit too because it JUST came to mind. Cut the tip off the mascara wand to the tube…. So that there’s no temptation to use the applicator with the Mascara wand.
Yes that’s definitely an option! I personal haven’t had an issue being tempted since that’s how I was trained but for people just beginning this is super helpful :)
I usually dump my loose powders on a palette, BUT depotted it into a small squeeze bottle to better control the amount of powder!
I may switch to that bc it does make such a mess! Haha
@@julieruby it’s saved me so many times now 😂
Awesome video. I was just scrolling through the Sephora app and came across the Cinema brush cleaning line. Some reviews mentioned their brushes shedding after using them. Have you experienced this? I’m currently doing a make up course. So much to it than I thought. Your videos are very helpful xx
I’ve personally never had this issue! Natural haired brushes will shed as a normal thing though so it could be that as well and ppl may just not be aware of that.
I use the Mac one because the cinema secrets has a strong vanilla scent and just like the sanitizer it can irritate, the only downside is the prize
Most of the shedding issues arise because of over saturating the brush with the cleaner (CS can break down the adhesive of the brush over time).
@@Jesscabearr 👋 safe to say I’ve been using CS and have experienced zero issues with shedding as I barely dip my brushes in the solution.
This is very informative
I'm glad it was helpful! :)
BEAUTYSOCLEAN is a great brand. I buy their makeup sanitizing wipes; they use 70% alcohol, but there's other stuff added to prevent the product from drying your products out. There's a spray version, as well.
Yes I used to have the spray version and it worked really well!
@@julieruby U should seriously consider getting a UVC box to clean brushes an tools, as well. ANY works; the ones marketed specifically for makeup are just marketing. The ones advertised for cleaning glasses and phones work perfectly. I have the Casemate CleanScreenz one from Target, but the giant EVLA Family Size UVC sanitizer would be probably better for you since your a makeup artist with hundreds of brushes.
Great video as always!! One question: do you sanitize after you’ve done the makeup? So you stay there 10/15 minutes after?
If I have time, but most of the time I’ll have to pack all my things up really quickly and get out of whatever room I’m in. I will however spray everything down with alcohol and let them dry for maybe 5 mins while I’m packing up the rest of my stuff but sometimes I just have to throw everything into my bag and get it depending on timing. It won’t hurt the products necessarily just make sure to clean them really well once you get home.
Hi! I love your videos & definitely encouraged me to make my dream come true, becoming a makeup artist! Since I seen you’re certified through Online Makeup Academy, do you use your discounts to buy products to use on clients or yourself? I’m asking since it’s one of the perks I’d love to have.
Hi Natalia! That’s amazing that you’ve begun to pursue your passion:) I use my Pro Artist discounts primarily for my professional kit since that’s what the intended purpose is but technically yes you could use them for yourself as well. I have a few times but honestly most of the times it’s for my kit.
Thank you for responding! I definitely learned a lot from this video & yes, using the discounts to have an open variety of products for clients really will help my budget to save some money & also use on different skin types! I appreciate you posting these informative video. I’m barely starting out & don’t have anything to use as of now.
You remind me of Janette MCcurdy?! Not sure it’s the cheeks and mouth or your voice 🤨 regardless thank you for this information . You are absolutely beautiful and I love your channel 🥰 you have helped me tremendously with being fast and efficient
Haha thanks! I usually get that alot because of the sound of our voices. I also was blonde in here so that makes sense haha I'm brunette now! Thank you for all the sweet compliments and I'm glad you have gotten some great tips and info from my channel :)
Im a brush liner person that’s the best way I can apply liner. I buy the nyx epic ink it’s one of my faves and it’s 9 dollars and i give it to my client at the end of the service same with sponges and puffs
Oh good for you! I’ve never been able to do a liquid liner on others that well. I would maybe suggest using a liner disposable .. it may save you a bit of money instead of spending the $9 each time.
Hi Julie, included in your brush sets for each client do you also include eyeshadow brushes ?
Yes! I technically don’t separate out the brush sets or anything as they all are in the brush bag I had in the video. I keep enough in there for 10 ppl :)
hi! what about sanitizing cream blushes and bronzers that are in compacts like the patrick ta ones? can you just spray those?
Any cream products have to be scooped out and put onto a sanitized palette. Creams are too thick for alcohol to penetrate.
For powders, do you use the same brush or use a new brush for applying more product to the same client?
No you can reuse all powders :) You just have to sanitize them with 70% alcohol at the end of each application.
In the case of pencils and putting the caps on them. Would you have throw them away if you'd had put the cap on them. Or can I just sharpen them and and clean the cap with alcohol and a qtip?
No you wouldn’t have to throw them away, if you cleaned the caps out really well you should be fine!
Hi Julie, does it matter whether the sanitizer for powders is isopropyl alcohol or ethanol alcohol?
I’ve always been told to use Isopropyl- I really don’t know what the chemical difference is but that’s what other artists have suggested.
What electronic signature service provider do you go through for your contracts to have them signed electronically? I'm doing a trial run with DocuSign but I don't know if I want to commit because it's pricey. I might try hello sign. But just curious what you use.
Hi I do use Hello Sign for mine :) I know it’s free up to 3 signatures which is handy! I pay for mine now but I love Hello Sign!
@@julieruby thank you i'll try them out 🙂
Nice
Glad you enjoyed it!
One thing the hand's sanitation just work until the 3 times in the same day after that u need to wash your hands
Good to know! Thank you for sharing Juan :)
So, in my state we don't need verification or a licensed just do to makeup for others but I would like to have SOME credentials for freelance gigs.
But I have no idea where to look for courses besides online
Is that even legit online?
You’re lucky you don’t have to get it, but I do agree that it’s smart to still have some credentials and try to get formal training :) I personally took the Online Makeup Academy courses and I really enjoyed them. I do have hands on training as well, but I do think the course really went over a lot! I have a review of it on my channel!
@@julieruby thank you!
I’ve been finding great disposable sponges at dollar tree in a 3 pack or five below in a gigantic bag of variety disposable sponges and powder press sponges if that helps anyone!
That’s great! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you so much this is so helpful 👍🏽 subscribe!🎉😃
I’m so glad to hear that!! Glad you found it helpful :)
Can you reuse powder puffs if you wash them?
I don't personally use actually powder puffs. If you're referring sponges...no you can't sanitize or wash those. They absorb product which means they'll always be bacteria that can harbor in the middle.
For the cream lipstick depot pallate, at 5:44 when you scoop out product n then place it on the clear pallate and then a brush, can't i just use the brush directly on the lipstick pallate? But not re-dipping, in the same manner as the mascara
Hi! I’m sorry I’m not quite understanding what the question is?
@@julieruby is it wrong/unhygienic if I use a lip brush directly on the lipstick pallate (without re-dipping) rather then what you did which is scooping out some lipstick on the clear pallate and then using a brush to apply the lipstick
@@gia-ivlved Not necessarily as long as you get a new applicator each time. However, working off a palette is a good hygiene practice in general to get yourself used to.
@@julieruby alright thank uuuu
May be a silly question but you are saying once a (let’s say eyeshadow) brush has been dipped into a palette once and used on a client, it cannot be dipped back into a different shade of the same palette again for the same client?
Haha no worries! You can definitely work with a palette like normal - placing a brush in a powder multiple times. Once you are done though, the palette has to be sprayed down with alcohol. It’s only cross contamination if you are not doing this in between each person.
I see. Thank you, that is very helpful!!
I can’t thank u much ,,,
You’re so welcome Kavita! :)
Hi Julie! Can I ask a question on sanitation in between clients. How long you have to wait for u to call the next client for example bridesmaid after u sprayed alcohol on to ur kits? Will the alcohol dry enough to use again for example 15mins? I hope I explain it clear Thankyou x
Hi great question! When you use 70% alcohol it only takes about 5ish minutes for it to completely absorb so you’re good in between clients :)
@@julieruby thank you julie❤️
Can’t find your Instagram
Hi! I changed it earlier this year and haven’t updated my older videos. It’s @juliemarie_artistry.
I can't afford 8 different brush sets 😭
Girl I did not buy these all at once 😂 it takes time!
@@julieruby Thank you. I try very hard to sanitize in between though. I bring my sister to sanitize my brushes once I'm finished with them and all my products before moving to the next person.
the only thing with the disposables is the amount of waste :( but theres no other choice really
I know that’s the only thing that sucks but yeah it can’t be helped unfortunately :(
Hi! Why can’t you use for exemple one plastic mascara brush and just wash it between your clients? Much more good for the climat and your economy
Hi that’s a great question! The plastic bristles of the brush do not clean easily. The alternative would be to use an actual mascara fan brush. I’ve thought about doing this :)
Cut off the end of the twist up pencil
That’s definitely an option! I twist mine up extensively and sharpen it way down so same concept! :)
Why can't you just spray the brushes with alcohol?
That’s a great question! Using alcohol directly will dry out the brushes and cause the hairs to fall out. I use Cinema secrets which is a spot cleaner, but it’s not 100% hygienic. This is why I choose to bring enough sets of brushes for the amount of people that I’m doing that job. I only use the spot cleaner if I’m switching colors for the same client.
Thanks
Ahhh you are so sweet ya I you so much Terri!! ❤️❤️
That’s okay your video really helped. God bless you.
