Makeup Template

Makeup Note: The purpose of stage makeup is to make the dancer’s face pop onstage.  The bright lights and distance can wash them out and we want to see their beautiful expressive faces! No crazy colors or glitter is needed, we just want to enhance their features.

Eyeshadow: neutral shades of brown, lightest along brow bone, medium on lid, dark in crease

Eyeliner: dark brown or black, top and bottom, extend slightly past outer corner of eye

Eyebrows: darken slightly if blonde

Mascara: dark brown or black

Blush: natural pink, across cheekbone

Lipstick: slightly darker than natural color

Boys: makeup can be toned down slightly, but they do need some lipstick, blush, and eyeliner if possible
