Makeup

  • Feel free to wear a base/foundation as needed.

  • Blush should be worn to highlight the cheekbones.  

  • Use the same color blush for a little eye shadow.  No colored (blues, purples) shadows please.

  • Line both lids with a black or dark brown eyeliner

  • Apply either fake lashes or mascara to open the eyes and define them. 

  • If you dancer has light eyebrows, it's recommended to fill in their brows.  

  • Classic, red lips!

*Remember, stage makeup should be applied a bit darker than everyday makeup.  The stage lights will wash a dancer's features out on stage so feel free to be generous in your application. :)
