Hi all! Firstly, I'd like to apologize if this topic is in the wrong section. I wasn't sure where this should be placed.
So I'm an aspiring makeup artist (even though I've only been using makeup regularly for a year...), and I've been wanting to practice on more people. I don't have the money to purchase a different set of makeup just for other people, and even if I did, I suppose I'd have to keep it clean anyways. So when I do make up for others, it seems a bit difficult to always keep my own makeup clean. I mean I know a few techniques, like sharpening pencil eyeliner after every use, dipping lipsticks into alcohol between uses, and so forth. But for stuff like gel liners, liquid liners, eyeshadows, and blushes where you basically have to redip your brush to get some more color, what should I do? Also, is there any other way to apply mascara on other people besides using disposable wands to avoid contamination? Any help would be fantastic. I searched for answers through the search engine of this site but it led me to a lot of rants about people not being clean at makeup stores lol. Thanks in advance!
