Hair & Makeup Guidelines

Makeup

As we prepare for our recital, we wanted to send a quick reminder about stage makeup. Stage lighting is very bright and can wash out dancers’ facial features, so makeup helps ensure their expressions are visible from the audience.

Please remember that stage makeup is not meant to make dancers look older or overly glamorous—its purpose is simply to help their faces show up clearly under the lights so the audience can see their smiles and expressions.

We recommend a simple look that includes foundation or powder for even skin tone, blush for color, neutral eyeshadow, mascara, and a bright stage lipstick.

Thank you for helping your dancer look their best on stage. We can’t wait to see everyone shine!

Here are some of our reccomendations:

Lipstain - Color - All Star

Maybeline Fit Me Matte Foundation

Ardell Eyelashes

Hair

Low Bun - Tutorial

Here are our reccomendations on some tools that will help you:

Bun Maker

Hair Net Set

U Shaped Hair Pins

Combat Hair Gel Extreme Hold

Hair Wax Stick

3 Pcs Slick Back Hair Brush Set

Hair Spray - Extreme Hold
