STAGE MAKEUP AND HAIR
MAKEUP
Make-up is necessary in a theater because the bright lights drown-out your features. Children should not look “made-
up.” If you apply make-up to your child as if you were applying it to yourself for an “everyday look” it will look great.
The level 5/SC dancers require a little bit more.
HAIR
No bangs, please. If a dancer wears bangs, the stage lights will cast a large shadow on the dancer’s face. If you need help or a bun lesson, ask your class mom or pick up a "bun head" information form. Hair pins not bobby pins work best. Please do not use Scrunchies, colored clips, pins, elastics or any other hair ornaments other than what is costume related.

The level 5/SC dancers require a little bit more.
- Make-up will be checked by backstage moms at dress rehearsal and you will be notified if a change is needed.
- Black eyeliner (pencil is easier) extended slightly beyond the eye in a “V”. Level 5/SC dancers extend eyeliner straight out. Please make the line under your eye very thin and not down on your cheek. From the middle of your lower lashes, extend the line straight out. The top line comes straight out from where the top of your eyeball makes a crease in the skin.
- Mascara
- Lipstick- True Red only. No orange, pink, dark red, or brown.
- Blush- on apples of cheeks. Eye shadow in neutral tones with white highlighter below the brow.
- Boys, a little blush, eyeliner and lip liner will define their features
- Hair MUST be pulled up in a high bun, no part unless, designated differently due to cast assignment. Ballet 5/SC dancer should check with their dance captain. Secure hair with a hair net and gel or hair spray. French twist isacceptable if hair is too short for a bun.
