A letter to makeup artists and those getting their makeup done... I'm not going to sit here pretending I don't like modelling or isn't awesome because it really is and I do almost always own fun on jobs. Models own it good most of the time,particularly in Australia however there are health/hygiene risks involved for models and anyone using testers or getting their makeup done people can overlook. I own just been on a fashion present job for the past 4 days and unfortunately even though I had observed unhygienic practises and confronted the qualified artists (who I will not name) I still ended up taking domestic a nasty eye infection from fashion weekend. I do feel my safety concerns were dismissed as if it was portion of my job to set aside up with these unhealthy conditions. My message is not intended to critique the women who I trusted with my eye and skin health but to raise awareness of importance of hygiene practises amongst artists. If you are getting your makeup done or using any testers, check everything has been cleaned to your standard even if someone scoffs at your concerns. This is not my first time receiving an ailment from a dirty makeup brush and unfortunately in my line of work I doubt it will be the last but please be aware of this if you ever approach close to a makeup kit so you can keep yourself safe and healthy.
