A note about make-up... If your dancer has not worn make-up before please carefully consider using a hypo-allergenic product. Most of our dancers have no problem with make-up they use. However, some of our dancers have had reactions to make-up in the middle of a show. It can be scary and uncomfortable for them so please consider doing a trial before the show or choosing a brand better suited for sensitive skin.
Almay and Arbonne (www.arbonne.com) products are two I know of that are hypo-allergenic. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Thank you. Brown shadows for eyes (no blue eyeshadow please) blush, mascara and gloss or something to bring some color to the lips. no red lipstick please. All dancers should have their own brushes, hair stuff etc.
