  • In this video, we are talking about some of the ways you can use to spot an untrained makeup artist! Just to be clear, I made a few of these mistakes in my early days - more than 7 years ago. If nothing else, this should be both enlightening, yet entertaining!

    I've heard from one MUA here on TH-cam that even the Mascara applicators have to be disposable and it made me realise how unhygenienic some "MUA"s are. Thanks for the vid Mena. Love from South Africa ❤

      I have disposable EVERYTHING! I alcohol with me and makeup wipes. If I accidently use a new tube of gloss on someone I am like...congratulations you have a new tube of gloss! LOL I racks me to use unclean products on people! It's just creepy! I also have a separate back up of brushes too. If one falls on the floor...I get a clean one!

    This video changed my life. I am a freelancer. Because of this video I bought sanitizers for my eyeshadow and palettes. I now have a bottle with 100% alcohol and water to sanitize my liners before and after. I sanitize my hands. My clients really commended me on these sanitary practices

      Yo, legit! Never try out any products in certain stores. I just remember years ago we had to sanitize products before the customer would use it. I don’t know will be going on these days.

    girl this video is needed. i am a freelance makeup artist and also a licensed cosmetologist. we have to take ceu classes and the first thing we go over is SANITATION. 90% alcohol isnt the best for sanitizing brushes though because it does dry too quickly. biggest pet peeve USING THE BACK OF YOUR HANDS ugh get a pallet they are cheap and mix foundation or lip products on that. i've worked with other "artists" and was so disgusted by some of the things i saw. hand washing is a must. artists also should have disposable lip brushes and mascara wands. a bottle of alcohol is A MUST IN YOUR KIT. i love this video. like 1000 times lol. love your channel.

    Not 99% alcohol tho bc it dries to quickly & will not sanitize. It should be 70%

    When you said MUAs shouldn't even be breathing on the client, I was like yes that's true and I think we should normalise wearing a nose mask when making someone up...
    Thanks for the tips though, I've done those before and I will seriously be more sanitary now.
