Makeup, body and accessories for dancers need to survive heat, sweat, and bright stage lighting. This collection covers everything from bold lashes to body tape that actually holds.

Regular makeup is not built for performance. Stage lights wash out colour fast. Products here are chosen specifically for dancers who need their look to last from the wings to the final bow.

Volume lashes for bold, expressive eyes visible from the back row
Diamante round magnetic earrings that stay secure through turns, leaps, and jumps
Glitter spray for body and hair that catches the light without flaking mid-routine
Makeup remover gentle enough for frequent use on young dancers
Dance costume and body tape to keep costumes in place every second you are on stage
Tips for Getting It Right
Apply body tape to clean, dry skin for the strongest hold
Set lashes with a light coat of mascara to blend them with natural lashes
Shake glitter spray well and hold it at least 30cm from skin or hair
Use a proper dance makeup remover after shows to protect skin from repeated wear
Magnetic earrings suit younger dancers or those with unpierced ears and still look polished under lights

Makeup, Body & Accessories — Frequently Asked Questions
What stage makeup do dancers use for performances in Australia?
Stage makeup is applied more heavily than everyday makeup to be visible under bright stage lighting. Foundation, contouring, dramatic eye shadow, false lashes, blush, and a bold lip are standard for most performances. Performance-specific makeup brands are formulated to withstand heat and sweat.
What body accessories do competition dancers need?
Competition dancers commonly use body glitter, body shimmer, false lashes, hair rhinestones, and spray tan. The goal is to enhance features and increase stage presence under competition lighting. Total Dance Australia stocks a range of body and performance accessories.
Do you stock false eyelashes for dancers in Australia?
Yes. We stock false eyelashes suitable for stage and competition use in varying levels of drama. Choose a style appropriate for your age group and performance type. Use a latex-free lash glue for sensitive skin and remove lashes carefully with an oil-based remover after the performance.
Is stage makeup safe for children?
Stage makeup designed for performance use is generally safe for children when applied correctly and removed thoroughly after each use. Avoid products with heavy fragrance or known irritants near the eyes. Remove all makeup with a gentle cleanser and moisturise the skin after each performance.
What body accessories can be used for dance photoshoots?
Body shimmer, glitter gel, rhinestone stickers, and temporary tattoos are popular for dance photoshoots. These add visual interest and catch light for a polished result. Browse our Makeup, Body and Accessories collection for current options.
Do you stock rhinestone accessories for dance costumes?
Yes. Total Dance Australia stocks rhinestone accessories including hair pins, body stickers, and costume embellishments. These are popular for competitions, concerts, and performance costumes. Check our accessories range for current stock.
How do I remove body glitter and shimmer after a performance?
Use an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water to break down glitter and shimmer. Apply to the skin and wipe away with a soft cloth or cotton pad. Follow with a gentle facial or body cleanser and moisturise afterwards. Avoid scrubbing, which can irritate the skin.
