COVID-19 hair and makeup procedures
For Wren Witting Makeup
During production:
-
Kn95 facemask and a surgical mask are worn at all times. A plastic face-shield is worn during makeup application and touch-ups
-
Whenever possible, makeup is applied with single-use disposables such as mascara wands, cotton-swabs, sponges, powder puffs etc which are disposed of after the application
-
When disposables are not possible, makeup is applied with cleaned and sanitized makeup brushes. Used brushes are placed in a clearly labeled plastic container with a lid for cleaning after wrap
-
No “double dipping”: makeup products are scraped from containers with a clean metal spatula and mixed on a metal palette—brushes DO NOT touch makeup products directly. Metal palette and spatula are cleaned with 70% alcohol between each use
-
Makeup palettes, brushes, and containers are kept closed or covered except while in use
-
Makeup station, chair, and high-touch surfaces are wiped down with 70% alcohol between every client
-
Touch-up brushes are stored in a single-use ziplock bag during the shoot
-
Thorough hand-washing (or hand sanitizer when washing isn’t available) between every client and touch up
-
Touch-ups only when necessary and social distancing practiced when possible
Between clients/Wrap Protocol:
-
All makeup brushes are washed with hot water and soap for at least 20 seconds and then rinsed with 70% alcohol
-
Clean, dry brushes are placed in a clean ziplock bag for next use
