Dutch model Yente stated on TikTok regarding backstage hygiene practices that quickly drew more than ten million views, 20min.ch reported. The viral video exposes unhygienic conditions across the fashion, dance, and theater industries, prompting widespread user reactions about shared makeup tools, unwashed costumes, and unsanitary living spaces.
Makeup Artists Reuse Brushes on Multiple Models
Model Yente detailed practices backstage where makeup artists reuse the exact same brush on multiple models consecutively, specifically targeting delicate areas like the lips and eyes. Europesays.com noted that a former dancer shared a nearly identical experience in the comment section, stating that her makeup team utilized the same brushes for everyone and reacted defensively when she requested a separate applicator.

According to 20min.ch, Yente arrived late to a full-day bikini casting in Milan and was handed a swimwear bottom to try on. Maintaining her usual practice of keeping her personal underwear on during such fittings prevented direct exposure. I took the bikini bottom – and I will not tell you what I saw.

she stated, adding that hundreds of models reportedly tried on that exact same swim garment throughout the day.
