Performance Hair and Makeup Instructions
Performance makeup needs to have a uniform look that compliments the beauty of the dancer and can go with multiple costume changes. From classical to jazz, this look is an audition face that Judges will be scrutinizing as carefully as the dance itself. The make-up color choices are standardized and the application techniques help the dancers look their best. It is a “professional dance” look. *price estimations from Fresh Market and Rite Aid
