Start your makeup on a primed canvas for the best results
Take it from someone who has dealt with it all - dry skin, oily skin, teenage skin, 30 year old skin… this stuff does the job! If your dancer is refusing the makeup removing wipes, just put a pumpful in their hands and let them go to town on their fa...
Fresh Foaming Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover
The first step to removing stage makeup shoud always be a swipe of micellar water on a cotton pad!
Garnier Micellar Water Hydrating Cleanser
This is absolutely an insane splurge, I know. But I JUST finished the same giant tub I've been using since 2023 Nationals! Zero tears - that alone is worth the money. So gentle on sensitive & acne prone skin and takes on waterproof mascara like a...
Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
THE best base layer for a full face of makeup, especially on little faces that become super dry during winter regional season, and acne prone teenage skin! It soaks into skin in seconds, and any redness is instantly soothed - allowing you to use less...
SEPHORA COLLECTION Hydrating Cica Express Repair Care Cream
A splurge, but if you have a dancer with a tendency to break out after a regional weekend (on their face OR chest/back!) - it's worth it. Keep the acne causing bacteria away from the face with a spray of this.
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid

I used to loveeee the Splurge vs. Save articles in Cosmo, so I recreated it into a dance mom-friendly version!
Our team shadow palette - priced just right so you don't have to worry about running out
All Amethyst Shadow Palette by ColourPop®
Our team lip color - use a lipstick brush to apply after lipliner (and no more than 20 numbers before they go onstage!)
Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color - 695 Divine Wine - 0.15oz
This foundation will never do you wrong. It goes on flawlessly with a brush, sponge or Beauty Blender, and stays on all day. Make sure to match the color to your dancer's neck.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
This blush looks so pigmented - that's the point! Blush for the stage should be way deeper and more dramatic than regular “going out” blush. Try deep berries, rose and fuchsia shades for under the stage lights.
TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Blush
A splurge, but one you can definitely share with your dancer! This blush has a wide variety of stage-worthy colors for all faces and is great as a base under powder blush. Even the tiniest amount produces a lot of pigment, so it's perfect for layering.
Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush
Use waterproof mascara to avoid raccoon eyes during long competition days. Yes, it's a pain to get off, but it's even more of a pain having to re-do eyeshadow because of smudged mascara!
Lash Sensational Sky High® Waterproof Mascara Makeup
ULTIMATE LASH HACK: Place a layer of this glue directly over the line you make with the eyeliner, as close to the natural lash line as posible. Wait for it to turn tacky, then pop the lash on the line. Using this glue pen instead of a traditional tub...
Glue & Go Pen
Save yourself the trouble and just start using these lashes. They work on eyes of all ages because they look like natural, thick lashes, NOT falsies. When lashes are too thick under stage lights, they create dark shadows on the face. Cut them to size...
Ardell Naked Lashes 421
Any brow gel will do - try to opt for tinted gel if your dancer has light colored or sparse hair. This one is definitely a splurge, but if you happen to have the same brow color as your dancer, it's worth it to share! The last thing you want is to ha...
Air Brow - Tinted
I find that liquid liner is easier to apply from a “pen” rather than a dipped brush.
