Makeup, body and accessories for dancers need to survive heat, sweat, and bright stage lighting....

Makeup, body and accessories for dancers need to survive heat, sweat, and bright stage lighting. This collection covers everything from bold lashes to body tape that actually holds.

Made for Stage Conditions

Regular makeup is not built for performance. Stage lights wash out colour fast. Products here are chosen specifically for dancers who need their look to last from the wings to the final bow.

What You Will Find Here

Volume lashes for bold, expressive eyes visible from the back row
Diamante round magnetic earrings that stay secure through turns, leaps, and jumps
Glitter spray for body and hair that catches the light without flaking mid-routine
Makeup remover gentle enough for frequent use on young dancers
Dance costume and body tape to keep costumes in place every second you are on stage

Tips for Getting It Right

Apply body tape to clean, dry skin for the strongest hold
Set lashes with a light coat of mascara to blend them with natural lashes
Shake glitter spray well and hold it at least 30cm from skin or hair
Use a proper dance makeup remover after shows to protect skin from repeated wear
Magnetic earrings suit younger dancers or those with unpierced ears and still look polished under lights

For Dance Parents

Competition season means early mornings and quick costume changes. Stock up on tape and remover before the season starts. These are the items that run out at the worst time.

Suitable For

Ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop performances
Eisteddfods and competitions at all levels
Concert and recital days
Dancers of all ages including juniors and teens
