Hair and makeup

All students are encouraged to wear makeup for recitals and picture day: pink lipstick, blush, eye shadow (not blue), and mascara. For the boys, a little blush works well.  Talk to your teacher if you have questions about recommendations.  

Recommended Lipstick and color: NYX Suede Lipstick in the color "Soft Spoken"  or Ulta Mini Luxe Lipstick in Mischievous.
