Sanitation Box Necessities: Inside The Makeup Studio Workstations

Blog by Juliza Ortiz

When it comes to makeup artistry, skill and creativity will always shine—but behind every flawless application is something just as important: sanitation. At The Makeup Studio, our workstations are designed with intention, care, and the highest hygiene standards in mind. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a student stepping into your first class, understanding what’s inside your sanitation box is key to giving clients (and yourself!) the safest, cleanest experience possible.

Here’s a breakdown of what every Makeup Studio workstation includes—and why each item matters:

99% Isopropyl Alcohol

This is your #1 essential. Alcohol is used to sanitize palettes, tools, lipsticks, liners, and any hard-surface product. It helps prevent cross-contamination while keeping your kit fresh and professional.

Hand Sanitizer

Clean hands are the foundation of clean artistry. Even if you wash your hands, sanitizer is your quick go-to between clients, after touching your phone, or whenever you need a refresh.

Cotton Rounds

Perfect for toner, cleansing, micellar water, and removing product from the skin. These make quick cleanups super easy while keeping things gentle and hygienic.

Cotton Swabs

Small but mighty. Cotton swabs help with sharpening winged liner, cleaning up mascara smudges, applying lipstick precisely, and touching up any tiny detail.

Tissues

From blotting lips to catching fallout, tissues serve a million purposes at your station. They’re also great for keeping your hands and tools clean without using reusable fabrics that can collect bacteria.

Micellar Water

A gentle but effective way to cleanse the skin and remove makeup before you start your application. It’s perfect for prepping the face, fixing minor mistakes, or refreshing a client’s

skin.

Makeup Remover Wipes

Quick, convenient, and perfect for removing heavier makeup, swatches, or any unexpected smudge. These are especially helpful during fast-paced class days or back-to-back appointments.
