Re: MUA Hygiene Practices: Advice Requested...
[QUOTE]
The makeup artiste (without cleaning her brushes) went ahead and did the makeup of the bride's sister and friend using the same equipment and even applied the lip gloss that she had applied on the bride on the other girls with the same double/triple dipped wand.

Thats SO gross!!!!!! How could she not know what a cold sore is?? And even if she didnt know what on earth it is, just by looking at it couldnt she tell that she shouldnt use the "contaminated" brushes and applicators on the other girls!!

1) Can I request my Makeup Artiste use MY OWN brushes (I have the whole set of professional brushes and will buy what I don't have)
2) Can I also request that I purchase my own products that she reccomends?
3) How would I have a trial using my own brushes/products?
4) Are makeup artistes understanding when people have strict hygiene requirements/issues?

Your questions have pretty much all already been answered :) but just wanted to say...dont be hesitant or shy to speak up and ensure things are the way you want....remember you are paying you MUA for a service, you have a right to have things a certain way that makes you comfortable and if the MUA isnt cool with that, you can always find another place that will respect your wishes and cater to your needs. So dont be shy in discussing all these things upfront with her and making sure she understands exactly what you want to do!
