{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The coronavirus has made long days even longer for this makeup artist.
Shannon Marie Trigger, a Los Angeles-based film and television makeup artist, posted a video on TikTok explaining her daily routine, which has changed significantly because of the pandemic.
Now that movies and TV shows are allowed to film again, there are numerous new protocols in place to protect the cast and crew from the virus, which Trigger demonstrates in a video she shared on Saturday.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}According to the clip, Trigger begins her day before 5:30 a.m. so she can leave for the shoot by 6:10 a.m.

She also has to fill out an extensive coronavirus questionnaire before she gets on set. The questionnaire asks her if she’s experienced fatigue, a new loss of taste or smell, or nausea or vomiting, among other symptoms, per the video.

Once she actually arrives on set, she gets her temperature checked before she can grab breakfast — which is now individually served — and set up her station for the day.

Since the whole movie is being shot outside, she adds that she has to bring umbrellas and electronic fans to cool down the actors, and SPF to keep them from getting sunburned. This part isn't entirely out of the ordinary, but it's allegedly more difficult due to social distancing guidelines.
