Recital Make-Up Instructions

We fully understand it seems strange to be putting makeup on your child, especially if they are young. It is important that their faces don't look washed out and show-up on stage and on your videos.

Here is what we recommend: 
- Foundation: A color that closely matches their skin tone
- Eyes: A darker brown color towards the bottom of the lid to the crease of their eye and then blended with a lighter nude color from the crease to the ridge of the eye. A dark brown or black eyeliner and black mascara. 
- Cheeks: A nude to light pink blush starting from the apple of the cheek and blending towards the ear
- Lips: A darker pink or red.
