COVID-19 Safety Procedures for Makeup

Bridal Parties or Multiple Clients

Gwen with Faux Glaux Beauty wants to ensure all of her clients that she takes your health and safety seriously. While this has always been the case, even more precautions are being taken given our current circumstances. These safety guidelines are required by the State of Illinois in order to keep both Gwen and her clients safe.  FGB will be following these guidelines during ALL appointments.  Please help by sharing the guidelines with attendants and adhering to these important safety measures.  

Faux Glaux Beauty needs to adhere to the Illinois state mandated social distancing guidelines. FGB will need 6 ft of social distancing between artist/client and all other attendants not being worked on at the time to maintain safety. Please take that into consideration as you choose your space to get ready in. While makeup is being applied, we ask that only the artist and client be in the working area. All others will be asked to leave area to maintain proper social distance. FGB also asks that no one touches any of the products or supplies within the workspace. 


PPE Gear and General Sanitization

Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer will be provided by and readily available throughout your entire makeup application by FGB. It will be specifically used by FGB and given to client upon having a seat in the chair. 

Masks and PPE Gear

Please have a mask on when 6ft near Gwen or any FGB Beauty Advisor. Wear your mask prior to sitting in the chair for your session. Your mask must stay on for the consultation, application of eye shadow, false lashes and eyebrows.  You will be allowed to take off your mask for application of primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush and contour/highlight as well as your lip application. Also while makeup is set with setting spray. All members of the Bridal Party are asked to bring their own lip product (does not need to be new). FGB will apply lip product one time. Touch ups are no longer allowed. During the process where the clients mask is off, no speaking will be allowed.  FGB will also be wearing the required PPE gear during entire service.

Cleaning between clients

In order to keep our workspace properly clean and sanitized, FGB will need 10 minutes between clients to reset, clean and change out brushes along with required PPE gear.  You’ll also notice FGB sanitizing as she works. Please take that time into consideration when planning your timeline. 

Procedures During Sessions

FGB workplace setup

FGB will clean workspace with medical grade cleaning wipes before set up of station/lighting. Chair will be sprayed/wiped down/sanitized between clients. 

FGB brushes

  • A new set of sanitized eye and face makeup brushes are used on each client. Disposable mascara wands are used as well. FGB follows a 3 step sanitization system on all brushes and sponges before use on clients.

  • Step 1: After makeup application, brushes are spot cleaned with a brush cleaner put into a designated brush bag labeled dirty brushes.

  • Step 2: FGB deep cleans brushes off-site after your session with medical grade brush soap and hot water. Brushes are then air dried. 

  • Step 3: I FGB sprays 70% alcohol onto a tissue and wipes the brushes down before being placed back into sanitized makeup brush bags for next wedding.

Makeup Products 

During the ten minute sanitization process between clients all powder and cream products will be sprayed with Cinema Secrets Makeup Sanitizing Spray which works instantly to kill germs and removes bacteria from makeup powders, cream products. It also keeps makeup products fresh, clean & sanitized. A deep clean of all cosmetics will also be done off-site upon completion of wedding/event.
