RECITAL MAKE-UP TIPS
Skin - Make sure face is clean and moisturized. Use a sponge to smooth on foundation (either powder or liquid) over entire face, eyelids, and under eye area, blending into the neck.
Eyes - With an eye shadow brush, apply a brown eye shadow darkest at the lash line gradually fading up to the brow bone. Apply the same brown eye shadow lightly under lower lashes from the middle of the lash line out past the corner of the eye. For dancers 7 years old and up, apply black eyeliner along the entire top lash line and coat both the top and bottom lashes with black water-resistant mascara
Cheeks - With a blush brush, apply a rosy-colored blush starting at hairline and pulling color forward to apples of the cheeks.
Lips - Line the lips and fill in with dark pink or red lipstick.
