Makeup
For our upcoming concert, stage makeup is essential to ensure dancers' facial features and expressions are clearly visible under professional theatre lighting, which can significantly wash out their faces. Here's a step-by-step guide for applying concert makeup:
1. Foundation: Apply an even layer of foundation to create a smooth, consistent base.
2. Blush: Use a heavy red blush along the cheekbone to enhance the face's natural contours.
3. Lipstick: Apply bright red lipstick for a bold look that stands out on stage.
4. Eyeshadow: Start with a dark brown eyeshadow on the eyelid and gradually lighten to a cream shade under the eyebrow.
5. Brows: Define the eyebrows using a brow liner for added shape and visibility.
6. Eyelashes: For older children ready for semi-professional makeup, false eyelashes can be used to enhance the eyes. Alternatively, mascara is a good option if false lashes aren’t suitable for your child.
Properly applied stage makeup will help showcase your child’s amazing features and ensure their expressions shine through under the lights!
Hair
For our concert, having securely styled hair is crucial to ensure dancers remain focused and confident on stage. Hair that falls out or fly-aways can be distracting, causing dancers to touch their hair instead of fully enjoying their performance. Here’s how to prepare your child’s hair for the show:
1. Centre Part: Begin by parting the hair down the middle.
2. Ponytail: Secure the hair at the lower section of the skull in a tight ponytail.
3. Bobby Pins: Pin back all fringe or layered hair to make the ponytail slick and tight.
4. Bun: Twist the hair into a bun or use a bun donut if needed for extra volume. Secure tightly with a hair tie.
5. Hair Net: Wrap a hair net around the bun to keep it in place.
6. Bun Pins: Use bun pins all around the bun to secure both the hair and net.
7. Hairspray: Apply plenty of hairspray to hold everything in place and prevent any hair from coming loose.
Remember, you’ll need bobby pins, a hair net, and bun pins. Without these, buns often fall out during performances, which can be upsetting for dancers. Let’s ensure your child has the best experience possible by taking these steps to help them feel confident and enjoy their time on stage!
