BlogInternational Makeup Artist, Nancy Crossley, has worked on celebrities, TV personalities, actors and sports stars for most of her life. Every time she prepared for a client, she worried about cross-contamination from the makeup products she was using. 'We clean our hands, our clothes and our homes, but we never clean the very products we put directly on our faces, lips and eyes!'Like most professional makeup artists, Nancy would never have worked on one of her celebrity clients without ensuring that the makeup was clean and bacteria-free. At the time, the only way to clean the makeup was to use pure alcohol; a method that dried out and even destroyed her valuable products.After consulting with some of the world's most talented and renowned makeup artists, Nancy saw it was clear that a professional product that sanitized makeup products without drying out or altering the makeup was needed in the industry.The mission began; Nancy created her dream product, and BeautySoClean was born.
