I carry these two very special items at Che Sguardo. I think everyone needs these in their kit.
HookUp Temporary Tattoo Remover Wipes are a must when removing an actor’s tattoos at the end of the day or a quick change is needed.
Telesis Iso-Gel can be used as 99% isopropyl alcohol and has a reduced alcohol scent, doesn’t run amd is an excellent vehicle for alcohol based color applications.
