WHEN TO DO HAIR & MAKEUP
☑ IN-STUDIO PICTURE WEEK (APRIL 13-19, 2024)
☑ DRESS REHEARSALS (TBA)
☑ RECITAL (JUNE 1-2, 2024)
HAIR
All hair should be pulled back off of the face into a bun.
The secret to a perfect bun is a hairnet - available at many drugstores, such as CVS or Walgreens. They come in an envelope of three in specific colors. Blondes should get white, brunettes should get brown or dark brown and black hair should get black. Use bobby-pins to secure shorter hair strands and again, be sure to purchase the color elastics, bobby-pins, etc. to match your dancer's hair color.
Gel and hairsprays can also be used to pull shorter hair off of the face.
All bangs must be pulled back off the face.
Bangs cast a shadow over the eyes when on-stage. All hair should be sprayed with hairspray to keep it in place during the performance. We ask this so that we (and you) may see your child's beautiful eyes when performing.All hair accessories must be secured by criss-crossed bobby-pins
MAKE UP
Light makeup is recommended - the strong stage lights wash-out faces without makeup.
Lipstick - mauve or pink
Eyeshadow - neutrals
Mascara
Blush - pink, high on the cheekbones
Performers should leave all jewelry, including rings and earrings, at home during picture day, dress rehearsal and the recital day. All finger and toe nail polish must be removed.
