MARIA’S SCHOOL OF DANCE

COMPETITION MAKE-UP REQUIREMENTS 2007

   Unlike recital make-up which can reflect the character/period/or fantasy of the music, the competition face is a uniform look that needs to compliment the beauty of the dancer and 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 for photographs or videotaping.  It is a “professional dance” look.

   The competition face relies on neutral colors that easily blend with any color or style of costume or music.  Remember, stage lighting bleaches out facial features so although the look is very concentrated and dramatic, it is required to be “seen” during a competition.

   Below are preferred colors and brands.  If you cannot find these, please match the colors you purchase as close as possible, again, we are looking for a very uniform look.
