Makeup, body and accessories designed for dancers who perform under stage lighting and need products...

Makeup, body and accessories designed for dancers who perform under stage lighting and need products that actually hold up.

Built for the Stage

Stage lighting is intense. Everyday makeup fades fast under it. These products are chosen with that in mind, from bold lashes to glitter that catches the light without flaking mid-performance.

What You Will Find Here

Volume lashes for defined, expressive eyes visible from the back row
Diamante magnetic earrings that stay secure through turns and jumps
Glitter spray for body and hair that lasts a full performance
Makeup remover to take it all off gently after the show
Dance costume and body tape to keep straps, necklines and costumes in place

Tips for Dancers and Dance Mums

Body tape is one of those essentials every dance bag should have. Use it to secure costume edges, prevent slipping straps and keep everything looking neat from first walk-on to final bow.

Magnetic earrings are a smart choice for younger dancers or for styles where earrings are required but piercings are not. They sit flat, look polished and will not snag on costumes.

Glitter spray works best applied 10 to 15 minutes before going on stage. Hold the can at arm's length and layer lightly for an even, long-lasting finish.

Removing Makeup After Performance

Heavy stage makeup needs a proper remover. A gentle formula matters, especially for younger dancers with sensitive skin. Remove glitter products before using makeup remover for the best results.

Stocking Up for Competitions

Eisteddfods and competitions can mean multiple performances across one or two days. Keep spares of everything.

Pack an extra set of lashes in case of damage
Bring body tape in your dance bag at all times
Decant glitter spray into a smaller bottle if travel space is tight
Label all products clearly when sharing a dressing room with a group
