COMPETITION MAKEUP

With all the money spent on a costume and dance lessons, you need to look your best. Trends vary, but the ‘in look’ at the moment is :

 
False eyelashes – the bigger the better. These can be purchased from our website or you can buy them at competitions.

Fake Tan – This makes you look healthy and gives you that special glow. There are lots of makes on the market at the moment but we would advise that you avoid the very cheap tans as they do leave the skin with a streaky effect.

Blusher – although you have applied fake tan, you will still need blusher. Under the lights of the dance floor, you look very pale without it.

Eyes – although you have the false eyelashes, you still need to accentuate your eyes. Stargazer and Snazaroo have a variety of fantastic colours in their pressed powder and paint range. Add glitter and use an eye liner for the finishing touches, black and white eye shadows are very popular at the moment as it accentuate the eyes as seen on the picture above.

Lipstick – outline your lips with a good lip liner and fill in using a nice bright Red/Pink lipstick. Finish your lips off with a lip gloss.
