Provide space between make-up stations or provide a partition in between.

1 talent per station at a time.

Disinfect stations and equipment between uses.

no double dipping

Clean all hairbrushes and combs with appropriate disinfectant.

Large reusable brushes should be washed with soap and hot water and dried/sterilized in a UV sterilizing box, sealed, and protected while on set.

Talent PPE

Have talent wear a mask when possible (ex. while having their eyes or hair done).

Only remove the actor’s PPE when necessary.

Face shield

Once made up, actors may consider a face shield (as opposed to a mask) to not disturb completed make-up. Make-up artist or hairstylist may handle the placing / removing of face shields on the actor (if the actor prefers).
