How To Keep Makeup For Young Dancers Looking Fresh And Natural
A dancer’s makeup does look more professional with false lashes because they accentuate the shape of the eye and make the eyes look bigger providing that you don’t go too big with the lashes. I have seen way too many caterpillar lashes being used for dancer’s makeup. The audience does not need to be able to count your upper lashes! We just need to know you have eyes.
This is my simplified version of “how to properly apply lashes” for your dancer’s makeup look.
1) Loosen the lashes from the container by peeling them off gently with tweezers.
2) If using a full band of lashes, PLEASE trim or they will be quite uncomfortable to wear. Your dancer’s makeup kit is completed by making sure you carry at least 2 pairs of lashes with you at all times for performances…just in case!
3) Drop a little puddle of eyelash glue on a corner of the opened lash container.
4) Recap the glue.
5) Dip the capped glue top into the little glue puddle and draw a thin line on the eyelash band.
6) Wait 30 – 40 seconds for the glue to get a little bit sticky.
7) Line up the end of the lashes with the last natural lashes on the outside corner of the eye. Read more…
