We just started using this foundation for dance events and photoshoots. It has a skin like finish. My daughter says it feels light weight and doesn’t cause any issues with her sensitive skin. We haven’t experienced any pulling and it lasts through se...
MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin® Natural Finish Foundation
We used this foundation for all of her dances last year and have no complaints. It holds up well to sweat and looks beautiful under stage lights.

We use this for my daughter’s Glinda inspired solo. She wears She’s Hard to Get, which is a bright pink under a lighter pink lip balm.
Patrick Ta Major Headlines - Precision Lip Crayon - Fully-Pigmented Creamy ...
We love this lippy! My daughter wears this over a more saturated lip liner for her Glinda inspired solo. It’s the perfect pink and shows up well under stage lights. Best of all, it’s super moisturizing, which is much needed because her other dances r...
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick
This is our go to cleanser for photoshoots and dance comps. It doesn’t strip my daughter’s skin. You don’t have to rinse it off and makes touch up and quick changes easy.

Silver Hair & Body Glitter Spray
Love this curling iron. It helps make the perfect Glinda-esque ponytail.
Ulta Beauty

This is great heat protectant for quick changes because you can use it on dry hair. It works well for both my daughter and I — she has think, wavy-curly hair, while I have think, fine hair.
Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Hair Primer
My daughter has thick hair. We use this while her hair is still damp, before applying any heat. It keeps the frizz away and helps hold curls.
ghost™ primer | verb® products
I’m not sure how we ended up buying this, when we really love the Verb cream heat protectant, but I’m glad we did! I usually used the cream from the roots down and focus this spray on the lover half of her hair, away from the scalp. I’ve also mixed t...
glossy shine spray with heat protection
These hairnets are a must have for making buns. They help keep the flyaways at bay, creating a beautiful and clean bun.

Love this cream for making a slick back. My daughter has to wear a slick back bun 4 days a weeks and this helps keeping it smooth and doesn’t leave a bun of residue.
Dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream with Taming Wand.
It’s is such a great conditioner. We use this to help remove knots and tangles from my daughter’s hair. While it can bed used as a leave in, we always rinse it out. We have bought this on repeat.
Kinky-Curly Knot Today Natural Leave In Detangler - 8 oz
Comp day must haves
This is a beautiful red lipstick—perfect for competitions. I like that it’s not a long wear lipstick so we can remove it easily, which makes it perfect for days when that has routines with multiple looks.
MAC Retro Matte Lipstick | Ruby Woo, All Fired Up, Dangerous & More
We love this little pallet. It makes creating a neutral smokey eye super easy. We’re always in rush when getting ready for the stage, so I love having all the shadows in one case—no move panically searching for single eyeshadows.
Connect In Colour Eye Shadow Palette: Unfiltered Nudes
This is a great primer. It doesn’t irritate my daughter’s eye and helps the shadow last all day.
Eyeshadow Primers - Crease-free & Long Lasting
We love this lipstick! It lasts all day and does not transfer, which helps making costume changes less stressful. My daughter doesn’t find it drying either.

We love these tights! They are super durable—we’ve never had a tear and they last years.
