Hi Ladies n’ Gents,
It is super important to have individual mascara wands in your kit! Mainly for sanitary purposes! I purchase mine from a local beauty supply store, but I am currently looking into buying them wholesale. Purchasing them wholesale is cheaper in the long run. I found a company called qosmedix.com n’ I will let you know more about them in the future.
The wands come in all different shapes n’ sizes, for my clients I love to use the fuller brush. The fuller brushes give the lashes volume, lift, separate, n’ help them look fuller!
For my clients I use a different wand per time of use and person. I usually like to apply two thick coats. For example, I have a tube of mascara, I never use the applicator that it comes with. Whenever, I have a client, I take off the top of the mascara n’ dip the wand inside the tube. Once I apply it on my client, I throw it away, even if I need more product! In the case that I need more, I take out a ENTIRELY NEW WAND! It is extremely gross to double dip!
I hope you artist add these to your kits! It’s a NECESSITY! Helps reduces germs n’ bacteria! The last thing you want is a client to get an infection n’ blame it on you! Cover your ask n’ invest in some wands!
I hope this helped!

It was actually ok. They need work when it comes to matching foundation but overall it was nice. I was really pleased with how my eyes came out.
Well I am glad you were happy with something Anitra! Yes inbox me the name of that place! lol
Clearly this topic is needed. I went to an establishment today and had my makeup done. Guess what? No disposables wands for the mascara. I really wanted to say something but I did not. I guess you are right not all professionals know this. And no I will not publicly reveal the name of the establishment but C. Michelle if you want to know inbox me and I will share.
OMGOOOODNESS! Anitra, are you serious? They just used the wand directly out of the tube? Lets just hope it was new! For the most part, did you at least like your makeup?
By the way…..Qosmedix a good go to for getting wholesale disposable makeup & medical supplies ! I have purchased supplies from them. Also, a lot of makeup, skin/ esthetic, medical schools…..even hospitals buy in Bulk from Qosmedix.
@ C. Michelle – Double dipping is just UNSANITARY ! U would think a REAL MUA, definitely should know that….LOL ! What I do on ALL my CLIENT ONLY kits, is cut off the WANDS ON THE ACTUALLY Mascara and Lipgloss tubes. This has helped me in remembering… no Double Dipping & kinda gives the Client an assurance that “I do have an MUA, that is ON POINT in being sanitary ! P.S. – If its a mascara or lipgloss I really LOVE…I just buy 2 of that same product (whn i have the $), cut off the tube applicator… Read more »
Yes you would Jassiejthemua, however some people are new n’ really need tips. The point is to help enlighten people…
I thought that the use of disposable applicators would be a given in this industry. I have both disposable mascara wands and lip brushes as part of my kit.
Awesome Anitra, exactly you would think, but some truly don’t know
Great Post! Ill be adding some to my kit!
Thanks Helen! I am glad!
