英国化妆师想出零接触妙招：通过信箱投递口为客户化妆
Tracy Graham, 35, feared that she wouldn't be able to carry on doing appointments if she were to stay at home. So she has come up with a funny way to keep her customers happy by giving them a makeup through her letter box. In a joking video shared to TikTok, she can be seen doing a test where she feeds a brush through to powder her nose on the other side.
Tracy, from Plymouth in Devon, said, "I'm a make-up artist and with the coronavirus going around I decided to have a bit of a laugh. I got my brushes and put them through the letter box to do makeup on the other side. I'd have to avoid contact to not get coronavirus, but this wouldn't really work. I managed to apply some makeup, but I didn't do a very good job and no one would really do it this way."
The make-up artist said that she isn't too worried about catching the virus, but is concerned about the impact of self-isolating. Tracy said, "I guess it would just be like the flu or a bad cold. I'm more worried about everything closing but you've just got to get on with it, haven't you?"
Since putting her video to TikTok, it has so far been watched more than 10,000 times. She added, "It's had lots of likes on Facebook and has gone viral on TikTok. It will continue to go up, so far it's at about 10,500 views."
