First of all, make-up artists should communicate with the families of the deceased to find out their requirements for the makeup and clothing of the deceased, especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery for the deceased who died abnormally. What make-up artists need to know should be more detailed and specific.
Because the bodies of the deceased who died abnormally are usually unrecognizable, they may have experienced floods, fires or huge external shocks before their death. The body needs superb technology to restore the memory of relatives. Sometimes it is necessary to chemically repair the remains, sometimes it is necessary to repair the damaged organs and tissues with artificial materials, and sometimes the damage is so serious that a person must completely "make it".
Then, after the preliminary work was done, the makeup artists began to clean and change clothes for the remains. The makeup artist put on overalls, masks and gloves, pushed the body out of the freezer and began to clean up the dead body. The temperature of hot water for wiping the body should be around 45℃, too hot will burn the skin. Then take off your old clothes, scrub the dead body from head to toe with a hot towel, and then put on new clothes for the dead.
Finally, the makeup artist began to make up the face of the body. Different from what girls usually need to make up, the tools used by body makeup artists mainly include oil paints, white oil, palette, oil pens, tweezers, combs, nail clippers, razors and so on. Makeup artists who have been engaged in this line for many years are generally very skilled and careful. The face of the deceased has changed from gloomy and dry at first to serene and calm, and even the corners of the mouth are outlined one by one.
We should respect these body beauticians, who left the last beauty for the dead with their youth and exquisite skills. I hope society can understand these people less and understand them more. The funeral industry is not terrible, but a sacred job.
