Following up from my previous post, I have further expanded my knowledge base on sanitation and hygiene to develop the best practices to keep everyone I encounter safe. In addition to the certifications I had already received, I now also have been trained and certified by Sanitation Conversation, Dermalogica, and Lucsol. 

The health and safety of those who sit in my chair, and those I work alongside with, has been something that I have always greatly cared about. However, there is always room for improvement and things we can change and add to our routine. With this in mind, I am revamping my gear and practices to better meet the health needs of everyone I work with at this time. Going forward, I will be wearing a mask during makeup applications for the foreseeable future and will potentially also be wearing a face shield and gloves. I am redoing how my tools and products are stored in containers to limit there exposure to possible contamination. I will be using more disposable applicators when that is a viable option. Tools that have been used will be placed into a separate marked container away from those that are clean to prevent cross contamination. Along with routine cleaning and disinfection after items have been used, I’m also looking to add a UV Sanitizer Box, and other such tools to further aide in germ removal from my gear. 

As we slowly (and safely) begin returning to sets and shoots, I will continue to evolve to what is necessary and what can be improved upon. I think we all know that this is a strange and uncertain time and the only way we can get through it is to be open to change and by being flexible. 

Looking forward to getting back to work soon! Until then, stay safe, stay healthy, wash your hands, and wear a mask.

As everything is on hold for a uncertain amount of time, there are a lot of questions and concerns naturally about how to return to work without risking the health and safety of ourselves and those around us. Proper hygiene and disinfection has been something I have always taken a great deal of care with. Having started in retail cosmetics this was something taught to me very early on, as we’d see so many people daily coming in and trying out products in store. But with the rise of Covid this has put a whole new focus on proper sanitation and disinfection practices. 

I want anyone who hires me, or sits in my chair to feel safe and confident that every precaution is being taken to ensure that they are not being put at risk at catching any sickness or infection. So I’ve taken the time to become better educated by taking a number of course. I’ve now received certification from Barbicide, MildayPro, and Safe Sets International. I have several others I plan on taking shorty. 

Looking forward to when I finally get to go back to creating beautiful makeup looks with you all! Until then, stay safe, wash your hands, and wear a damn mask!
