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.

For mascaras and brow gels I usually take the original brush off so that it doesn’t get used on anyone no matter what.

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???

For powders, do you use the same brush or use a new brush for applying more product to the same client?

@julieruby

2 ай бұрын

No you can reuse all powders :) You just have to sanitize them with 70% alcohol at the end of each application.

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.

It won’t hurt the products necessarily just make sure to clean them really well once you get home.
