Cast Info

The following is a list of the makeup that your dancer will need if they are in Snow or Act II (except Mother Hubbards, they are included with the younger roles and we will provide the makeup for them).

Please make sure you purchase it soon so your dancer can practice. We will have a makeup check on November 11th. Your dancer will need to be passed off so that we know they will be show ready when they come to the theater for dress rehearsal and performances.

All dancers in Snow and Act II (besides Mother Hubbards) need to purchase a pair of performance lashes at the studio. One set should last for all the shows if they are careful when they remove them.

We are giving you a couple different places to purchase some of the makeup from in case it becomes hard to get with so many purchasing the same items. The Foundation link is ONLY A SUGGESTION for a good stage foundation that gives a matte look rather than a dewey. It is not required to purchase this foundation, but you will need some kind of foundation and mascara.

Here is a video tutorial of how the makeup should be applied for Snow and Variations.
