Mascara: do you use disposable wands?
I know a lot of artist who use small fan brushes for mascara application, I especially like them for men. I read on another post that you can get mini mascaras through Sally's but you may need to ask them to bring them in as not all stores stock them.

Jul 03 12 04:45 am Link A friend told me recently about a makeup artist she knows that LOVES a certain brands wand, I can't remember the brand, but apparently she calls the packaging distributor and just orders the wands. I would guess that it's a little more expensive than most disposable wands, but might be worth it. Sorry that I have no further info on how to go about it, but it's worth a shot! Jul 04 12 09:47 am Link I find it great idea to use disposable mascara wands, but I am a little confused... When you use them you dip them in the mascara container, apply on the eyelashes and then thow it away? So you will need a different wand for each eye and for each mascara layer, because if you dip it again you miss the whole point, right?

Jul 05 12 09:05 am Link Any MUA who uses the wand that comes with the mascara is gross and shouldn't be working. Same goes for MUAs who use a brush on the lipstick after it's touched the model's lips, or even the actual lipstick on the model's lips! I do NOT want a sty and I certainly don't want fucking herpes! The fact that anyone would ever CONSIDER doing these things is just horrible!

Because double dipping is just as gross as using the original wand.

Personally, I don't know why since a small scrape and a lip brush would seem more precise and use less product, but at least it's an effort at sanitation.

They can spray that sucker all they want, but lipsticks are a wet product which breads bacteria and not everything is going to die with a spray of alcohol. I wouldn't allow an MUA that did that in my team. Jul 09 12 08:26 pm Link |
