Stage Make-Up Guidelines for Dancers

 

Why DANCERS NEED STAGE MAKE-Up

Stage make-up is essential for dancers as it enhances and defines facial features, ensuring expressions are visible to the audience from a distance, under stage lighting, and in videos and photographs.

  • Foundation: Choose a shade that matches the dancer's skin tone.

  • Blush: Apply a subtle blush to the cheeks for a natural touch of colour.

  • Eyeshadow: Use shades of brown and neutral colors, with optional shimmers in similar tones.

  • Eyebrow Pencil: For dancers with light or blonde eyebrows, use an eyebrow pencil to ensure they are visible on stage.

  • Eyeliner: Black eyeliner on the top eyelid is recommended, but only if the dancer is comfortable with it.

  • Mascara: Black mascara to define the eyes.

  • Lipstick: Red lipstick for a bold, classic look.

Optional: Add bronzer for contouring and highlighter on the high points of the face and brow for extra definition.
