Hair and Make-up 2011 - 2012

Hair and make-up 2011, 2012:

Stars and pre-show will have the same hair and make-up.

Hair: This is for Tinys, Minis, Express, Juniors, Seniors, Jr. hip hop and Sr. hip hop pre-show as well as Small Stars, Star Burst and Super Stars. Hair is to be “bumped” in the front and secured with bobby pins and/or a barrette that matches your hair color. Then ALL hair must be SLICKED back into a low ponytail. Hair in ponytail can be left straight. It is easiest to wet hair thoroughly, apply gel and/or hair spray to hair and comb back into low pony tail. After securing with a black pony tail holder, comb all fly-away hairs down and spray to hold well. Put bobby pins where needed so all hair stays back. If you dancers hair is too short to pull it all back, just pull the top section back into a mid-crown ponytail. If your costumes come with hair pieces, you will be instructed on how you are to wear them. Any head bands must be bobby pinned in place. Please make sure you bring some with you to competitions and performances.

Make-up: Make-up for our Tinys pre-show class is simple: they will only need a little blush and lip gloss. They are welcome to wear mascara, but it is not mandatory. The blush you will need is Cover Girl brand and the color is Plumberry Glow, #140. You can purchase it at any store that sells CG.
Make-up for Minis, Express, Juniors, Seniors, Jr. hip hop and Sr. hip hop pre-show as well as Small Stars, Star Burst and Super Stars: will consist of base to match skin tone, blush (will be provided, but if you would like to purchase your own, we are using Cover Girl brand in the color Plum Berry #140), eye shadow (white or cream base color, with dark purple for the accent color on your lower eye lid. We suggest: Cover Girl Purple Pop #455), mascara, black eye liner applied to bottom eye lids, false eye lashes (ALL dancers, except Tinys, MUST have false eye lashes), and lip stick (we will be using Maybelline Red Revival #645. ALL dancers will wear the same colors. We highly suggest you purchase your own lip stick, but we will have a few tubes of “community” lipstick if you choose not to purchase your own. We will be reapplying lipstick between dances, so it is easiest for you if you have your own, but it is not required. And for sanitary reasons, it is best to have your own and not share. You may want to pack Chap Stick. If your dancer has dry lips, lip stick will crack and not stick. Having some sort of lip balm to moisturize will help the lip stick last longer.) Hair needs to be 100% done and the majority of makeup needs to be done before arriving at competitions. If you would like to do your makeup at competition, you will need to arrive 20 – 30 minutes earlier than designated on the schedule. NO NAIL POLISH or toe nail polish! (If your dancer has acrylic nails, French tip is ok. No glitter toes.) THE BEST false eye lash adhesive I have found you can get at Walmart. It is Revlon brand and it’s called Precision Lash Adhesive. This really is the best eyelash glue.

The CREW boys hip hop: Hair will be how you would normally do it. NO Makeup! J 

A few tips:
* NO jewelry, except our company rhinestone earrings! (If you did not order some, I have a few pairs left to purchase for $6. If you have your own “diamond” or rhinestone earrings, those will be fine. ALL Stars must wear the company earrings.) NO necklaces, bracelets, rings, or anything else (Unless it is part of your costumes. Some costumes may have head pieces, necklaces, or bracelets.)
* ONLY apply the listed colors for blush and lip stick. We will all be wearing the same colors of these items. If you are not comfortable sharing, please purchase your own items, but they must be the same colors. (Blush – Cover Girl Plum Berry #140: ALL dancers; Lip stick – Maybelline Red Revival #645: Minis, Express, Juniors, Seniors, Jr. hip hop, Sr. hip hop, Small Stars, Star Burst, Super Stars; Lip gloss – any color, Tinys.)
* Hair and most makeup need to be done before arriving to the competitions. Please bring extra bobby pins, makeup, curling iron and hair spray for touch ups. I suggest getting a separate makeup bag for your dance make up and keep it with their costumes. That way you will always have it and know where it is. You can just grab it and go when it is time.
* When getting dressed for competitions, you will need to put on your tights (NO underwear!), and then your warm-ups or blue jeans. If necessary wear the bra you will need and then your black “Diva” team shirt. If you don’t have a team shirt, any plain black shirt or tank top will work. Bring ALL your costumes and makeup with you and meet in the dressing room at the designated time.
* You may want to bring a blanket or pillow for your dancer. There can be long breaks between dances and awards so sometimes it is nice to have a something for them to lie down on. Also, a coloring book and crayons for the younger ones is great to have.
* NO eating or drinking in costumes!! They can get ruined and stained. They are NOT easily replaceable, and will be at extra cost to you to replace if they are ruined.
* Follow time schedules closely, even try to be 5 minutes early! It would be terrible if you missed your dance! Competitions do not wait for dancers. DO NOT be late!! Competitions can get ahead of schedule. To find out where our dressing room is, ask the admissions table when you come in and they can tell you where it is. I will send an time schedule 1 – 2 weeks before the competition so you know how to plan.
*ALL teacher assistants need to be there for the classes they help with too, not just their own dances. You will need to be in the dressing room with your class, unless you are performing, and then when you are done you will need to join us. Being with your class is part of your responsibility.
* We will need some parent helpers in the dressing rooms. If you are not available to help your dancer, there will be helpers there to assist. Also, often times we share our dressing room with other teams so space is limited. Please try not to bring younger children in the dressing room. Young boys and men are NOT allowed in the dressing room. Our boys’ team will have a separate place to dress. The fewer bodies in the dressing room, the better.
