A good makeup artist takes sanitary precautions before applying makeup on their clients. Not only is it professional, but it also shows that the artist cares about their clients’ health. From years of working backstage and at photo shoots, I’ve picked up a couple makeup artist habits that I’ve learned from the pros that are beneficial for everyday use to keep you healthy. MAKEUP ARTIST HABITS SUMMARY 1. Read Ingredients Studies have shown that women absorb up 5lbs of damaging chemicals a year due to beauty products.  Look for natural, organic extracts and vegan. Avoid parabens and talc – 90% of all cosmetic brands contain some form of Paraben. Read more! 2. Carry Hand Sanitizer and Hand Wipes For quick touch-ups during the day, hand sanitizer and hand wipes are handy when a sink is not accessible to wash your hands. Before touching up your makeup, apply hand sanitizer for a clean makeup application. 3. Place your Brushes in a Travel Case Avoid throwing your brushes in your makeup bag. It’s worth investing in a travel brush case to keep your brushes clean. You can also place them in a Ziploc bag to help protect them. 4. Clean your Lash Curler, Brushes and Sponges Once a week, clean your brushes with a professional brush cleaner or baby shampoo. Place water and shampoo/cleaner into a bowl and  swirl each brush in the bowl to get bristles loose. Let brushes soak for 5-10 minutes. Then, place them at the edge of the sink for the bristles to dry. Clean your lash curler once a week with a hand sanitizer wipe, then rinse with water. Dry before use. 5. Sanitize Makeup Pencils by Sharpening Before using your eye pencils and lip pencils, sharpen them for a clean application. 6. Use a Spatula when Applying Creams One huge makeup artist habits item, Instead of dipping your fingers inside a jar of cream or liquid foundation, use a tiny spatula and scoop out the formula on the top of your hand. This will keep your formula free of germs and bacteria.

Vegan Makeup for rosacea. It doesn’t have to bring you down. Medical skin therapy can help address the underlying physical aspect, but the makeup that you choose can also help improve the look of your skin and boost your self-confidence. VEGAN MAKEUP FOR ROSACEA: EMANI Here are some tips to help you look and feel your best. 1.     Look for Simple Ingredients.  Be watchful of the ingredients and products you apply to your skin. When trying a new product, test on your neck and your arms before using it on your face to make sure your skin doesn’t react to it. Avoid any products that burn, sting or irritate your skin. 2.     Always Start With Clean Skin. Before makeup application, always start by cleansing and moisturizing your face with skincare products appropriate for your skin. For less irritation, be gentle with your skin when washing. Don’t rub or pull. Instead, use a clean cleansing cloth and pat it on your skin. 3.     Use Primer Before Your Makeup.  Primer acts as a light barrier between your skin and makeup.  With the right primer, it can help visually correct redness, even out skin tone and helps your makeup last longer.  Look for a primer with natural organic extracts that calms the skin.  Try: Emani Primer Serum not only primes the skin but it also has 10 different organic extracts to treat and moisturizes skin. It absorbs excess oils and has chamomile extracts to help calm the skin. The deeply nourishes and softens, creating velvety looking-skin. 4.     Brushes Are Key.  Since the oil and bacteria on your fingers can irritate the skin, vegan brushes (made with synthetic hairs instead of animal hair) may be best to use. When applying foundation or concealer, be gentle with your skin and apply lightly for minimal irritation. Click Here to see emani vegan makeup brushes Try: For vegan makeup for rosacea, try Emani Vegan Brushes, entirely free of animal hair and is hand-formed to professional specifications. 5.     Choose Makeup with Skin-Care Properties.  The right foundation/concealer color and formula can give you flawless looking skin.
