Make-Up

Dancers of all ages should wear classical ballet stage make-up.

The purpose of stage make-up is to highlight your natural facial features so they will be seen from a distance under the bright stage lights.

PRIMARY DANCERS

Primary Dancers should wear light stage make-up. Please send your Primary dancer with all make-up done, except for lip color. Once they are in costume, our dressing room supervisors will assist dancers with applying their lip color.

Eye Shadow in the eye crease (Violet works well)
Mascara
Dark Brown/Black Eye Liner (If this is a struggle, it is ok to skip it for Primary A dancers)
White Eye Liner or shadow (Nice option to brighten the eyes on stage)
Neutral pink lip liner (No gloss or lipstick please. Lipliner stays on better and helps to avoid smudging / getting on costumes and arms. Please send your child’s lip liner with them to the theatre so we can help them apply it before they go onstage.)
Pink / Light Blush
