Stage Make up Ideas

Choreographers are in charge of setting make-up, costume, hair looks.

But here are some suggestions, too.

I found these on YouTube from JAM and BASTAR cosmetics.

You don't have to follow these, but they could be helpful for those of you who have never done dance stage make up before:

Jazz

Ballet/lyrical/contemporary

Modern

Hip-hop

Depending on what your choreographer wants, normal "light" make-up won't cut it for the stage. Even if you think you have enough make-up, the lights will make your face look "washed out" or even "sickly-looking."

Tips for avoiding looking "washed out" with the lighting:

• Use mascara, or eyeliner to make your eyes "pop"
• Use lip color
• Use blush

You don't have to go overboard with a rainbow assortment of colors so you end up looking like a clown (unless Meghan & Anna want that...), but you want to look presentable. Look like yourself, but don't look like a bum.
