This is a repost of last year's hair and makeup post. Nothing significant has changed, but please read through to make sure you are familiar with our guidelines.
Make-up: Dancers should wear eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush and lipstick. All make-up should be in neutral tones that compliment your daughter's skin tone. No purples please. Lips should be also in natural tones (yes, you may use pink or a red, just not bright reds or pinks that look unnatural). Snow should have a subtler lipstick color.

Apply Lipstick after your costume is on. Remove Lipstick before you take your costume off!!
Hair:
Hair should be pulled back into a professional ballet bun.* No bangs,
curls, bump styles, or hair ornaments. Hair should be SLICKED back with
no part. NO frizzies or flyaways. Anna reports that the cheapest gels
work the best for that and be generous with it! :) The point of a
slick bun is to create a nice, clean, UNIFORM appearance. Hair nets for
the buns are not necessary for photos, but need to be worn for dress
rehearsal/performances (you can get them at Sally's).
Proper bun height and more info below:
More bun examples here and here.
*Buffoons/Party girls/Soldiers see exception below. Boys should have hair neatly combed. Boys don't need makeup for photos, but may need a little for the performance.

| Photo from here. This bun is a good height, but not slicked back/neat enough. |

*Exceptions: these are the only exceptions
Make-up:
Buffoons-
Make-up should be done in neutral tones with an accent of pink or
purple on the eyes and/or cheeks (no purple on cheeks. Your lips should
be pink-but not unnatural. You are suppose to look like happy candy!)
Soldiers- Make-up
should be done in neutral tones. We will add round cheeks when you
arrive. Please bring a red lipstick so that we can apply it for you in a
heart shape.
Hair:
Party Girls: Please come with party girl hair. Half up/Half down with ringlet curls (more information here, any questions ask Angela).
Soldiers: Soldiers should have their hair in a crossing braid style bun. Click HERE for instructions and photos, but note that the bun in the photos is still a little bit too high. It must be really low to go under the hat.
