Dance stage makeup and performance makeup
Stage lighting is not kind to an unmade-up face. Under bright performance lighting, features flatten and expressions disappear from the back row of an auditorium. Stage makeup corrects for this, defining the eyes, adding colour to the lips and cheeks, and making every expression visible to the audience from every seat in the venue. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range of dance stage makeup and performance makeup for competitions, concerts and stage performances from Bare All, Runway Room and our own range of stage essentials.
Foundation, eyelashes, lipstick and stage essentials
Foundation for stage use is typically heavier in coverage than everyday makeup, designed to hold under heat, perspiration and extended performance conditions without fading or moving. False eyelashes are standard for competition and stage performance across all dance styles, adding definition to the eye that is visible from the audience at distance. Lipstick in performance shades needs to be bold enough to read from the back of the venue and stay in place through a full performance without touching up. Setting products, setting spray and powder, lock everything in place for the duration of the performance. Eye makeup including eyeshadow, liner and mascara completes the full stage look.
Stage makeup for all styles and ages
Stage makeup requirements vary by style and age. Ballet and classical styles typically call for a polished, elegant look. Jazz and tap performances often use bolder colours and stronger definition. Contemporary and lyrical work varies by the choreographer's vision. Dance Direct stocks options that cover all these requirements, and our Maroubra team can advise on the right products for a specific performance requirement.
