Foundations? Do you scrape out a bit or do you..
As stated in the thread. Do you scrape out a bit of foundation or do you use it direct from the palette/pan? Dec 27 07 02:18 am Link scrape girl... start of small & add if needed so you don't waste... You cant dip your brush into the palette because GERMS.... From the brush...

You may see other new artists not do this, but ignore them...I did a charity fashion show for a local designer friend of mine once and a fellow mua had her kit opened and I saw all types of attrocities (i.e., UNNATURALLY dirty brushes, which looked to me like they had been used on more than just one model, and they were strewn about in her kit randomly at that)...others can do that, but it does not make it OK. Think of this way, doctors wash their hands before touching us, and they always use clean/sanitary tools when poking and proding us, so it's definitely not for nothin' Dec 27 07 11:45 am Link I scrape a bit out then I can add more or mix it with another on the palate Dec 27 07 12:42 pm Link liz yu wrote: Let me be the second to underscore this. It's so important. If a client you worked with got an infection from your makeup, what would you do? How would you handle it? Do you have insurance to handle it? Is there a licensing requirement for you to be applying it in the first place and if so do you have it? You can never be too careful. Dec 27 07 12:52 pm Link |
