Make-up Tips
Ballet-
Eyes: Don't put to much eyeliner on, or the audience will see black circles instead of eyes! Use beige or Brownish eyeshadow so you don't look to extreme. You can also put on mascara, but not to heavy, or, like i said, you'll look like a rockstar (And your ballet preformance is usually not the time to look that way!!) and if you want, put highlights under your eyes and blend it well.

Lips: Use a dark red lip pencil to trace your lips, and then apply lipstick of the same (or close to the same) shade as the pencil. You should put a little vasaline or lotion on your lips first, because stage make-up is heavy and can chap your lips. You can add some gloss if you want

Face: Use foundation to cover your blemishs (yes, all of them!) and then apply some blush to the apples of your cheeks. Make sure it's blended well enough so you dont look like a clown!
Jazz & Tap-
Eyes: For your eyes, 1st apply the eyeliner so that it's on the inside of your eye, and then extend it out past your eyes corner. Do the same with the top, so the extension criss-crosses, and you should have whats known as 'fisheyes'  wich would make your eye look like a fish (duh) -the extensions are the tail!-  then put on blue eyeshadow, very heavy, all the way up to your eyebrow. You should also darken your eyebrow and put on a ton of mascara.

Lips: Line your lips with bright red liner, add lots of bright lipstick and gloss, and then put a little glitter over top.

Face:
Do the Same as ballet with the foundation...dab on some whitish powder if you look to orange!, Put put the blush on very heavy (It's OK to look like a clown this time!) but put it down your cheekbones. In Jazz & Tap, you really want the audience to notice you!!
