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 a performer needs from first warm-up to final bow.

Built for the Stage

Regular makeup was not designed for performance conditions. Stage lights are intense. They wash out colour fast and reveal every smudge. Every product here is chosen because it holds up when it matters most.

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, jumps, and quick changes
Glitter spray for instant sparkle that photographs beautifully under stage lighting
Makeup remover that is gentle enough for young skin after long competition days
Dance costume and body tape that keeps everything in place through an entire performance

Tips for Dancers and Dance Parents

Magnetic earrings are a great option for younger dancers who do not have pierced ears. They sit flat and do not catch on costumes or hair.

Body tape works best on clean, dry skin. Apply it backstage just before going on, not hours before. For younger dancers, test a small patch first to check for sensitivity.

Glitter spray dries quickly. Hold the can about 30 centimetres from the skin or hair and use short bursts for even coverage.

Removing Stage Makeup Properly

Heavy stage makeup needs proper removal. Leaving it on overnight can cause skin irritation, especially for children. Use a dedicated makeup remover rather than soap and water. It is kinder to the skin and more effective at lifting stage-grade products.

Competition Season Essentials

Keep a small kit packed and ready throughout competition season. A well-stocked bag prevents last-minute stress backstage.

Spare lashes and lash glue
Body tape and scissors
Glitter spray for touch-ups
Makeup remover wipes for post-performance cleanup
A spare set of earrings in case one goes missing

Fast shipping across Australia and New Zealand on all orders.
