>Hi joy_of_ dance!>We were talkin about performance make-up some time ago before the other BalletBoys started destroying this site.>You have to be careful when using make-up under red and violet lights, because red lipstick will pick of the red from both red and violet and make your lips look real red.  Also, stay away from a purplish color lipstick, because the same red emphasis occurs, although not as bad as red lipstick.>As for the eyes, under red and violet lights you'll need a medium to dark brown eyeliner pencil to bring the eyes out under the red and violet lights.  A black eyeliner will make you look a bit more intense.  You can use the eyeliner pencil on your eyebrows to make them stand out.>As the performance is focused on the dance rather than the character/acting, you don't need too much make-up.>As for the need of a base, maybe maybe not.  It's hard to judge without seeing you.>The most important thing about the base is that of what happens when you sweat, or if your skin is more oily than dry.  You don't want a sheen of oil.>If you skin is faily light and dry, a layer of powder, just a shade darker than your skin type, may work.>The most important thing about make-up...you need to "fix" it.  That is, once the make-up is on, you need a powder puff and layer of powder on top, and then the water misting.  The water misting can be difficult.  You need a water misting spray bottle; most make-up sections of you local chain drug store have these.  The spray should be wide and light, like a mist or fog.  Some direct this directly at the face, but I prefer to spray a mist just in front of the face and push my face thorough it.>You're going to need some practice, so don't wait for the dress rehersal.  You can go to the rehersals in make-up, and ask the fellow dancers and other observers for opinions.>When you do a full lighting rehersal, make sure you have at least two people observing so they can see how your feature come out under the intended lights.>It's difficult to give specific pointer over the web where the communication is verbal not viusual.  So please make sure you get as much advice from your teachers, other dancers that have performed on stage, and just regular people who can tell you what they like.>Good luck!>Keep me informed!>theboy@balletboy.comDear balletboy,If you didnot goad them on, or show your own neurosis, it would never had gooten so far.
