Make-Up:

Every dancer needs to have make-up on otherwise the lights on the stage will wash your daughters face out and any videos/pictures taken that night will not turn out how you will want them to! Obviously younger dancers won’t have tons of makeup on, but they do need “some” in order to be performance ready! Black mascara on eyelashes, Blush on cheeks and Lipstick on lips. Older dancers will want darker make-up.
