MAKE UP FOR CONCERT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY..

For those that want to give the make-up a go. Just be careful with your colours. NO BLUE/GREEN eyeshadows. NO GLITTER SPRAY IN HAIR OR ON BODY.  PLAIN FALSE Eyelashes should be worn by all the Intermediate and Senior Dancers. (NO DIAMONTE OR COLOURED EYELASHES)  Optional for the younger students but really do make a big difference on stage. NO DIAMONTE EARRINGS. 

Stage Makeup 101! Everything you need to know to get your face ready for the stage!

1.Cover the entire face. This will provide the canvas and hold for all the other makeup you apply. Touch up with concealer to cover spots and circles underthe eyes. Blend powder last. You can mix shades to make the perfect match for your skin. Be sure to blend it so that the neck is not obviously a different color from the face.

2.Starts with eyeliner. Follow the line of the eye until it starts to dip down, and then start to go a little further out to make the eyes look a little bigger. Use white eyeshadow, as your base for the rest of the eye makeup to help create a good contrast. Use Brown shadow to accentuate the eyelid crease and the area slightly above. Finish with false eyelashes and add mascara when you are finished.


3. Use a dark pink to contour the cheeks. Start at the top of the cheekbone and follow the line of the bone down to create definition in the face.  Add more contour by adding some darker color to the temples, jaw and cheeks; then put more pink on the brow bone, so the audience can see that your entire face has dimension.

5.Line the lips with a red pencil, and fill in with lip color. Dark colors can look black from the audience, so bright colors tend to work best. Balance with the rest of the makeup. Finish with powder if extra hold is required, but it is not usually necessary. You can finish with gloss, but that is not recommended for the stage, because too much shine catches the light and causes glare.
