Website design By BotEap.comA dancer’s makeup look is often determined by the choreographer and/or the location of the performance.

Website design By BotEap.comStage performance: Ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern and contemporary dancers often dance on stage. Whether you’re a recital dancer, competitive dancer, or professional dancer, you’ll want to wear a dancer makeup style that is darker and more intense than your average everyday street makeup. This is due to the intensity of the stage lights, the intensity of the costumes, and the distance between the performer and the audience.

Website design By BotEap.comOutdoor performance: Depending on your dance style, if you perform outdoors, your dancer’s makeup style can be much more understated. For example, even though a dancer’s makeup look for the stage often includes red lipstick, you might consider a more natural pink color instead.

However, a ballroom dancer’s makeup is usually quite dramatic to accentuate the dramatic wardrobe and style of this genre.

However, belly dancer makeup is much more tailored to the style of dance and costume than to the type of venue in which they perform. Your performance look can range from the more natural and classic Cabaret Belly Dancers makeup to the dramatically artistic styles of Tribal Belly Dancers makeup.

Website design By BotEap.comIdeally, choose hypoallergenic/non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging), talc- and paraben-free products that are sourced as naturally as possible and are effective. A ballerina makeup look needs to be worn for long periods of time and this can be very harsh on the skin, especially if it is sensitive or prone to breakouts. She doesn’t want products that make her skin look and feel horrible at the end of a performance weekend. There is nothing that can make you more self-aware than reddened, irritated skin on an acne-covered face.
