Esthetics Questions & Answers 2020

Here are a few questions related to the Esthetics Competitions:

1. Is the orientation meeting taking place on March 26th?  Do you know the times and places for the championships?

I will be sending out a schedule with times and places shortly. This should answer your question once that email goes out to everyone.

2. On the leather shoes, are doc martins ok if they are all black?  Does the sole also have to be black, or could it be brown?

If they are all leather I believe this is fine. If they have shoe laces they could possibly be rejected at nationals. At state the judges will only have a column that says black leather work shoes, with no specifics so it will be their decision.

3. Can the students glue on glitter to the face?  If so, can they use lash glue?

Anything that is used as makeup and is labeled safe for it can be used on the skin. Glitter will be acceptable if it is labeled as safe to use. Yes you can apply it with lash glue.

4. Do the eyeshadow pallets they work from need to be brand new?  In the packaging?  Or can they use the ones they are practicing with?

All products need to be brought in original packaging but they do not have to be brand new. They can use the pallets they have been practicing from.

5. Can they touch the face with their fingers to blend the makeup?  Would they need to sanitize their hands immediately?

Yes they can use their fingers to blend makeup. No they do not need to sanitize immediately after. They are allowed to touch the clients skin as they are working. Sanitizing the hands is only necessary when the hands become contaminated.

6. Can they use an airbrush?

No.

7. Can they use magnetic lashes?  Are the models allowed to have their lashes already done?

Yes they can use magnetic lashes. At nationals they have not been specific about having lashes already done. It is something that has been left open. At the state competition there will be no deductions for lash extensions.

8. Can you double dip from the pallet that contains all of the product you took from their original containers?

Yes. I am assuming that you mean product has been removed and placed in a new palette. If this is the case they are allowed to dip in to that as much as they need. There will only be deductions for double dipping into original packages.

9. Can the contestants wear a black hair tie in their hair with it being pulled back?

Yes.

If more questions come in - we will add them to the blog for everyone to see.  

Good Luck Everyone!
