HAIR AND MAKEUP
MASKS - Mask are optional for dancers performing in the show. If they are chosen to be worn, masks should be plain, pattern free, and matching the dancer’s skin tone. Audience members are encouraged but not required to wear masks while inside the venue.
EYE – Medium brown shadow on the lid, dark brown in the crease, white under the eyebrows. Darken brows with pencil. Black eyeliner winged out from top and bottom lid with white pencil in between the lines. Black mascara and false eyelashes (lashes only for company dancers and dancers 12+).
SKIN – Use foundation to match dancer's skin tone and translucent powder to reduce shine.
CHEEKS – Apply pink blush heavily along the line of the cheek bone.
LIPS – Bright red lips. I recommend Love That Red or Cherries in the Snow by Revlon. Avoid orange or purple reds.
HAIR - Using hair gel, comb hair into high ponytail, slick with no wispies. Wrap the ponytail into a clean, flat, bun. Cover with a hairnet and pin with ample bobby pins until secure. Use plenty of hairspray. For short hair, slick back out of the face and secure.
