In the 10 years I was a dancer in NYC, I saw attractiveyoung women load their faces with makeup wildly before performances. Again andagain, I bore witness to how bad makeup skills backstage can go terribly wrong!I learned, as a makeup artist, IF used properly how makeup can draw attentionto our positive features and aid us in creating our best possible version ofourselves.In no specific order these are my Top 10 Performance MakeupMistakes.1)      MISTAKE:  Your Eyebrowsare gone!  WHY? Eyebrows show the emotional expression of the face. Lose youreyebrows, lose expression.FIX IT:  Use an angledeyeliner makeup brush to fill in the natural brow shape with a pressed mineraleye shadow powder. Chose  a color powderthat matches or is a little darker than your hair color.  Doing this enhances and frames the eyes in amore natural way than with an eyebrow pencil. 2)      MISTAKE:  UsingBlack pencil eyeliner inside of the lowerlash line.  WHY?  It makes the eyes looksmaller on stage.  Even though this canbe a great use of makeup for TV, fashion shows, print ads, and in person it isnot effective for stage performances. FIX IT:  In order to brightenthe eyes  and make them look bigger use aWHITE Highlighter Pencil on the inside lower lash line and on the outside cornerof the eyes.3)      MISTAKE:  Using ablack pencil liner under the eye and too far in to the inner corner.  WHY?You want your eye to have more of an almond shape this technique gives your eyea very rounded shape and it can lead to the dancer appearing"cross-eyed". FIX IT:  Use a dark brown eyeshadow color used with an eyeliner makeup brush as a liner under the eyestarting under the pupil and brushing out. Follow the natural curve of the eye with the brush.  In order to give the appearance that thewhites of your eyes are large and open do NOT connect the upper lash liner andthe lower lash liner.  4)      MISTAKE:  Applyingthe darkest level of eye shadow color that goes up to the eyebrow from thecrease of the eye and too close to the nose. WHY?  The eyes look likeblack holes, they are big and convey no emotion.  The "Smokey-eyed look" does NOTwork on stage for the same reasons.FIX IT:  Avoid going so highwith the contour color that it hits the eyebrow. Use an eye shadow brush thatis small and angled. Add the darker color to crease area focusing on the outerhalf of the eye and avoid bringing dark contour color too far in towards thenose.  5)      MISTAKE:  Notwearing foundation for stage performances. WHY?  Wearing makeup without a foundation looks spottyand blotchy when you get sweaty also when doing a quick touch-up.    FIX IT:  Use foundation tocreate a clean, smooth surface for the makeup to go on.  Use a mineral oil free/non-comedogenic,lightweight, water resistant foundation. This will keep your makeup lookingprofessional and smooth all day long!    6)      MISTAKE:  Usingfalse lashes that are too thick and/or too big.  WHY?Big lashes can create a shadow under the eyes when stage lights are directedfrom the top this can make them look sleepy, heavy, and closed.  FIX IT:  Lashes need to be trimmed to fit your eye unlesslashes are a demi/half lash. (When doing this always trim from the outsideedge.)  Shop for lashes that are longeron the outside edge and get shorter as they go move toward the inner eye.  Don’t wear very large lashes, instead chosefalse lashes that focus on the outer third of the eye.  7)      MISTAKE:  Impropermakeup colors used for performance makeup. WHY?  On stage we want makeup to accent facialfeatures and make the dancer look beautiful under powerful lights. Using a lookwe see on TV may not translate to the stage. When makeup is done for TV it is more subtle and fashionable, colors canmatch costumes. FIX IT:  Choose neutral, earth tones to show thenatural beauty in the dancers face.  Thereare suitable neutral red and rose-toned lipsticks that look wonderful.  Brighter lip color isn’t better!  If people are preoccupied by bright, glaringred lipstick from the dancer’s performance, then it has defeated its purpose. 8)      MISTAKE:  Goingoverboard with the blush/sharp line for blush.  WHY?  Doing this makes the dancers face look older.  FIX IT:  As with lipsticks use neutral rose toned orneutral pink/peach toned blush colors. These colors work on all skin tones. To apply start your blush brush atthe hair line and in a forward motion sweep blend up around the apples of thecheeks. Make sure the blush color does not go below the lip line.    9)      MISTAKE:  Going glitteroverboard.  WHY?  Glitter can be verydistracting to the audience and/or judges when it is on the lips, the eyes, thecheeks, the hair, the body, and a costume. FIX IT:  Choose one part of the face to use glitter on.  You could choose a red glitter lip or a strikingiridescent white to accent your cheekbones or eyelids.  Pick ONE part of the body not all of them!10)   MISTAKE:  Not usingenough makeup.  WHY?   The brightness of the lights and the distancebetween the dancer and the audience cause the facial features lose theirdimension.   FIX IT:  This is another example of how something yousaw on a dancer on TV, does not mean it will work on stage.  Stage lighting requires makeup to achieve a“natural look” on stage.  As a rule your makeup should be dark enough that theaudience can see your facial features easily to 8th-10throw of the theatre.
