Tamara considers disinfection to be of utmost importance. Applying makeup is a physically personal process, with unavoidable contact between client/makeup artist, and client/makeup and makeup tools. 

Disinfection has become paramount in the personal beauty industry. Tamara strictly follows safety protocol and does everything possible to keep her clients and herself safe.

 

* Tamara asks that any client who is experiencing symptoms of any illness to please reschedule his/her appointment. Tamara takes special precautions by washing and disinfecting her hands before and after every appointment.

​

* Between appointments, all makeup brushes, tools, working surfaces and all makeup itself is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with C3, an EPA-registered, hospital-grade, cosmetology-approved bactericide, fungicide and virucide. It kills 99.9% of germs in 60 seconds. C3 is environmentally friendly and does not contain dangerous poisons. Additionally, Tamara is BARBICIDE® certified. BARBICIDE®, the leader in infection control, is approved by the EPA for efficacy against COVID. Tamara uses BARBICIDE® on non-porous surfaces. In addition, new, clean barrier cloths are used between surfaces and makeup/tools. 

 

* During makeup application, only brand-new, clean sponges are used. Tamara uses a cleaned and disinfected metal spatula to remove cream products from their containers. She then mixes them on a clean, disinfected metal palette. She DOES NOT use the back of her hand as a palette.

 

* All liquid lip and face products are squeezed onto a clean, disinfected metal palette, or removed from their containers with a clean, disinfected spatula. Tamara does not dip brushes, sponges or applicators into cream or liquid products, as this process causes contamination. Disposable lip applicators are used.

 

* Mascara is applied only with disposable wands, and a used wand is never placed back into a mascara tube.  

 

* Brushes are shaken to remove excess powders prior to application. Lash glue is air-dried. Tamara never blows on products or tools.
