I haven't worn make up in months as part of my attempt to clear. I kept breaking out even sans make up for a year right up until I swapped my birth control, and now I haven't had any problems in about two and a half months. I have a photoshoot coming up as a favour to a friend wanting to fill out their portfolio as a make up artist. I'm not 100% sure that my acne is gone for good with my birth control swap (as it's only been a couple of months, though I was breaking out every two weeks before), and the idea of wearing a lot of make up over the day is making me a bit nervous. Is it likely that one day of make up will cause a break out, or will I be okay providing I clean up thoroughly afterward? It'll be about seven hours of having makeup applied, doing a few shots, removing makeup, applying a new look, etc.

While logic tells me that I should be fine providing I cleanse and clean up completely afterward, having acne and only just clearing has left me a bit paranoid about potentially breaking myself out. I'm mostly just looking for general advice on what the standard is for make up artists when it comes to brush cleanliness, product quality, etc -- or does it vary hugely from artist to artist?
