Disinfecting Your Makeup - Including Eyeshadows 

Can you remake this video so that we can know you still use this method *****

I was lucky to have had contact with a professional makeup artist in NYC who gave me this advice before I started working with clients. In all of the makeup books I have read, no where has there been information stating makeup should be disinfected, or how. Thank you for sharing this exceptional advice.

And 10 years later you still teaching people how to clean their makeup,thank you so much...i just did this with all of my eyeshadow palettes,didn't find a 90% one but a 70% one.

Another tip I highly recommend, with a napkin wipe the makeup first, take off the excess oils on the makeup, then spray with the alcohol.

Oh my gosh I never seen Wayne's old videos ! Look@ him looks so young and that T ! So awesome

FINALLY someone smart enough to show how to do this and someone who is actually concerned with their clients safety!! Excellent!

As a makeup artist/esthetician I have to say thanks for repping the sanitation part because it is a HUGE part of being a PROFESSIONAL that people never mention or see. Thanks!

Thank you for showing this. I wanted a way to disinfect my makeup but was afraid that any method would ruin the products and I'm frugal with a lot of products and can toss them and replace, no big deal. Its those outrageously expensive ones, the investment ones I can barely afford to begin with that I needed a way to disinfect. Thank you so very much for actually showing this doesn't destroy the products.

OMG Wayne!! He's so sweet and teeny! He's JUST as gorgeous today!

Thank you for posting this, I had NO idea how to actually clean my makeup. I am NOT a makeup artist so it's only used for myself, but I didn't know *how* to clean and disinfect makeup. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

With lipliners and eyeliners you should also use a sharpener to take a full layer off otherwise it is not safe. Another thing is sterilising as spraying with alcohol is not going to kill viruses, fungi etc. That is why you rather dish out everything you can onto a mixing palette and use disposable items such as mascara wands, sponges and lip product applicators. I would walk out as a client if the MUA wasn't disinfecting or working with sterile tools.

I really gotta start cleaning my tools more!

Omg the wink 😉😉 i freaking love it, i wait till the end of each video for the wink!!! Looove all your videos!!! *****

THANK YOU for this vid...no one emphasizes how important product hygiene is. This alone made me subscribe! NOTE:So refreshing to see your passion AND seriousness for your craft shining thru.

I red that 70% alcohol actually desinfects better then 90%

Watching in 2017! 😄

I love how you explain things in the simplest ways without being wordy.

Omg what did I just find!!!! You are so fantastic and timeless Wayne. Love you 😍

I love your videos! You are one of the very best subscriptions on RU-vid. I learn something new every time I watch you. You supply great information and you're really cute to boot! Thanks!

I've loved your channel since they day I've subbed and I swear you are so helpful. I appreciate the content you create, I honestly do. Thank you so much!

This is a GREAT vid! I've been preachy, preachy on this exact thing for YEARS with my daughters. ALWAYS disinfect after you've been sick or had any kind of issue.

You are awesome. I am slowly getting into the makeup artist industry and have a fashion show this weekend. I was at my wits trying to find information on how to disinfect my brushes and palettes and continue to work but this video has helped me immensely. THANK YOU!!

omg!!! he looks SOO young in this video!!

I am so glad to see you do this. I'm a cosmetologist and am highly concerned with sanitation. Years ago I did make-up, and am getting back into doing it, this time for a tv show, after years of doing just hair. I've had make-up artists come into the salon to do weddings and some of them had horrific hygiene habits. I use Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner on my tools, and 99% isopropyl alcohol on my make-up. I order it through the local drugstore. Thanks again and blessings!

I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise as well as your opinions on products and techniques. I have learned SO much from you and I am sure I will continue to.

Thank you so much for doing this! I've been wondering for a long time how I can disinfect my makeup and you've helped me out :D thank you again!

Thank you so much! This girl has been waiting for a video on cleaning makeup.

Thank you so much for this video. I have just started applying makeup to others and wondered how to disinfect my palettes. There are many videos on cleaning brushes but this is the first one I've seen on disinfecting makeup. Brilliant!

This was sooo delightful to watch! A marvelous trick that I had no idea off, brought to me by the very adorable Wayne Goss of the past:) Sending you lots of love from California ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌴🌞

I am sooooo glad you did this video. Nobody ever mentions this! Great vid!

I really appreciate you putting his up. I’m an esthetics major and I love doing make up but my teacher makes me use sponges for everything and I can’t do a proper make up job like that obviously. Especially when I love using brushes. So THANK YOU

I love this video! I just got started with selling Avon, and I was wondering how I might let my customers try & buy. I have seen some of your other videos so I trust your advice, and I'm glad that "cleaning" my makeup will be so cheap and easy! :)

I love these methods you share with us. This is just so easy, so cheap and so important. Thanks for sharing. I've been known to toss items used on others or I'll give them what I've used on them. This will change things dramatically for me!!

So I just found your videos and subscribed immediately! I absolutely love you!!!! I love your tips and I love that you are so down to earth!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I will recommend you to everyone I know that watched videos!!!

Wow! You look so young...... 💞 I love all your videos. Your the only person who I feel keeps it real with people.

Thank you for addressing this subject. It's very important when you're using the same products on multiple clients. I can vouch for this technique. When I was going to school for Cosmetology, we sprayed our powder products down with rubbing alcohol between clients. As Wayne stated, with liquid & cream products, we'd use a clean, beauty spatula to take product, place it on a clean palette. 😀

This is really informative. Thank you! BTW, i am in LOVE with your shirt.

Goss, just want to say how much I appreciate your information, all the sharing and your approach. If I have a 'tough' question, I almost always end up back on your channel to get my answer! So, thanks and please keep it up! ;)

Thank you so much for posting this information! I am just starting to do makeup and I know how important it is to keep things clean!!!!

This video is so informative and relevant throughout time. Many Thanks!

You are a good tracher. Simple, basic instructions everyone can understand. Thank you.

You look so professional, lnow very well what you doing for you life and like to see your care for your clients and the respect you have to them!

Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for that kind of information for a long long time now. Needless to say, I subscribed to you right away. :)

Simply your videos are the best, I love every recommendation that you make. :)

Awwww young Goss. So cute and helpful as always.

so adorable , u starting out these vids.. just love u.. here we are in 2019. and you are sweet as ever

Thank you! :) I'm so happy I came across your channel, I'm about to go into school to become a make-up artist and your videos are lovely!

Awesome tip! i always wondered how to effectively disinfect eye shadows and blushes! Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for doing this! I have been requesting other Guru's to do this.

love you wayne thanks for teaching me cleanliness about makeup and now im looking at these other beauty gurus nasty because they dont talk about cleaning there makeup even if its just for you its always good to keep the brushes clean

Short and sweet and to the point! That’s why I clicked on your video☺️

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks a million, Wayne!

awe, baby Goss

That has to be one of the best make up tips out. Thank you!!

Make an updated video, it's been 10 years and you're a legit honest person

Great video! You're so right..this is the first I've ever heard a MUA mention this! Excellent, Wayne!

omg wayne you look so young here!!! but definately looking better with time !!!! like george clooney :)

Watching in 2020 & still in L💖VE with you & your content! 🥰

Thank you so much for doing this video. I often wondered how to disinfect my makeup, and now I know. BTW I just love your videos!!!

Im glad you linked this video, I was just reacently wondering about disinfecting my makeup brushes:) thank you

Wow, i have been looking for a video regarding disinfecting makeup. Thank you!

Thank you so much!!! I'm a germ freak and have been desperate to find something to keep my makeup clean. You're the best!!

Fantastic!! Thanks for the video! Someone just asked me the other day how to disinfect eyeshadow, and now I know!

This is extremely important and helpful! Not only it will keep diseases from spreading from one person to another, but also, prevent your face from breaking out, etc. Thank you so much for the video =D

Great video, Wayne. Thank you so much, this was very helpful and I can't believe how easy and quick it is :)

Ah your amaaaaazing honestly, your my inspiration, i watch ALL your videos, Keep up the good work xx

awesome tip! i clean my brushes with that, but i never thought of using it on my eyesadow palettes! thank you sooo much!

your so awesome for making this video like I never knew this and I been experiencing breakouts lately so I'll be disinfecting everything I own this weekend....so cool I have tons of Isopropyl alcohol around my house....Thanks!

Thank you for doing this very important video.!!!! your method is so inexpensive and easy to do . it is soooooo uninspiring to put dirty old makeup on a clean face. defeats the whole purpose of enhancing what you have. ick Ick ick. lol. tks again. nobody ever talks about this. you might want to do this again in an expanded version with brushes, tweezers, tools, etc. best to you :).

Awesome. You and Enkore are great in terms of being highly keen on hygienic issues.

wow thank you so much for bringing this to light!

Awe, this is before you started the wink at the end of your videos.

+ Wayne Goss THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!! A lot of my friends do not believe me, when I say it's very important to disinfect your makeup, they use dirty brushes or sponges for months on end, don't even bother to see whether there is an expiration date on the product, and wonder why their eyes get all red and itchy when they use mascara's that (I kid you not) are sometimes more than a year old, interchange their makeup, and complain when I don't want to lend them my lipstick or eyeshadow palette. So, again, thank you, you're a Godsend. I knew that already but this is the first time I see one of your "old" vids. By the way, you look so much more handsome now, not that you didn't then, but now you're so...mature and "manly, sexy"...you make me wish I was a guy...I'd take my chances for sure ! xo's 💝

Thank you for sharing this. It was very helpful. I love your videos and your honest to the point style.

THHANKS YOU SO MUCH!! I always have friends asking me to do their makeup but I wont becuase I havent figured out how to disinfect eyeshadows!!!!! Loved you before even more now!!!

Perfect! Thank you - simple, inexpensive, and easy!

aww this video made me so proud. this is exactly what I've been doing just out of common sense, yet I doubted myself. thank you!

Thank you Wayne!!! I am just starting out and I am learning so much!!

Thank you so much. After watching everyone do makeup, it was actually one of your videos that lit my candle [so to speak]. This video is extremely helpful as I heard someone else talk about cleaning your makeup making them sanitary. Kudos. Also, I hope to meet you at the NY IMATS this coming April of 2014.

Thank you for this video! I wondering how to clean my make up. Great tip! :)

This was exactly my guess as to how to clean my eyeshadows. I am germophobic very much so and I sometimes use alcohol to clean. I worry if i dont wash my brushes for the week and I know how quickly alcohol dries and that it could even be used to re-form makeup. I also didnt want to risk doing it and ruin my ABH pallette. Thank gawd I can now move on with my life. So glad I came across it.

WOW. that's great! I've been wondering about how to disinfect my eyeshadow pan! Thank you so much, you're the best! :)

THANK YOU WAYNE!!! i love it!!

Thank you very much for posting this video. I read how to do it from text books (I'm studying to become a certified makeup artist), but really wanted to see it performed properly before doing it myself just to be cautious and to ensure that I did it properly. Anyway, thanks once again. I wish you all the best. :)

Great tip! Thanks so much! And you're right, I have never seen this before!

I do this! I feel so proud for being a good makeup artist even if I'm far from well known.

EASY!!!! I was ready for something so much more complicated. Thanks.

That's an excellent tip! I had always wondered how to disinfect eyeshadows. Now I know. :)

Glad this showed up on my related videos... A friend at school wanted me to do her makeup tomorrow and I would hate to spread something around... =) Thanks for keeping the beauty world safe and clean!

Oh. My. Goodness... that wink! Got me like "yaaas, do it again!" All silliness (and acting like a stupid high schooler) aside, this was so helpful. Thank you for sharing and posting!

Seriously most of the people I know are obsessed with make-up- yet very few of them EVER clean any of their gear! HORRIFIC! It freaks me out. And then they wonder- what is going on with their skin! Even if you never share your gear- AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WASH EVERYTHING! This video is SO very important. Glad you made it. On the brushes, soap, COLD water, lay them flat on a towel - so you don't melt the binding and damage them. Very cool- I'm enjoying your channel so much! Thank Yooooo!

Ugh, this is why I want to do my own make up when I get married. The more I watch your videos & also Sinead's (TheMakeupChair), the more I realize how important it is to disinfect make up & also wash our make up brushes. I've never seen a make up artist in Indonesia does that. Made me cringe to think that I had let dirty sponges & brushes touched my face :/

I love it!!! Thank you Wayne!!!

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks Wayne!!! Off to Boots tomorrow!!!

This is such a helpful video! Thanks so much.

Omg I just came across this. wow your extremely good looking. And an amazing artist

hi! thank you so much for uploading. very informative. thank you for caring about makeup hygiene! standards are really falling these days.

wow,this is the first video that i've seen on how to take care of u'r make up!!!...it's mostly brushes...thank you thank you so much for share it with us....

Thank you for your response. I use mostly powders, so I set for a very long time :-)

Wonderful & so easy and cost effective! Thx.
