Top 3 Dance Makeup Trends for This Season
As the dance season kicks into full swing, it’s time to elevate your makeup game! Dance makeup isn’t just about looking good—it’s about standing out on stage and enhancing your performance with a bold, expressive look. Lately three makeup trends are taking the spotlight, bringing creativity and sparkle to dancers everywhere. Here are three of the hottest trends that every dancer should try to make their makeup shine as much as their moves. Let’s dive in!
1) Colorful Rhinestones
You can never go wrong with adding some dazzle to your makeup with tiny, colorful rhinestones.
These little gems are perfect for dancers who want to take their eye makeup to the next level, and they’re incredibly versatile. Whether you place them in the inner corners of your eyes, along your lower lash line, at the end of your eyeliner, anywhere around your eyes, they instantly transform a regular makeup look into something stunning. You can also experiment with different colors to match your costume or mood. Rhinestones catch the light, making them perfect for the stage, ensuring that your eyes sparkle as you move.
MY ADVICE ♡
And don’t worry about them falling off—I’ve got a little tip for you. No matter where I place rhinestones, I always use lash glue to ensure they stay put. Simply apply a small amount of the glue onto the rhinestone with a brush, and then use tweezers or the tip of a makeup brush to place it exactly where you want. It sticks instantly, and no amount of sweat or intense performances will make it budge!
2) Colorful Lower Eyeliner
Matching your lower eyeliner with the color of your dance dress is always a good idea. This trend is gaining popularity as it creates a cohesive, stylish look that connects your makeup to your look. For me, this is always a lifesaver when I’m unsure what eye makeup to go for. Colorful eyeliner never fails! It’s perfect for beginners or for those who don’t want to spend too much time on their makeup but still want something eye-catching and unique. The trend is basic but so effective: instead of the usual black or brown eyeliner, choose bold colors like electric blue, fiery red, or soft pastels. This simple touch adds depth to your eye makeup. It’s also a fantastic way to experiment with colors you might not typically use.
3) Glittery Eyeshadow as the Focal Point
Adding some shimmer and sparkle to your eyeshadow is a must this season. Glittery eyeshadows are not only trendy but also serve as the focal point of your makeup look. Whether you choose a soft, shimmering wash of color across your eyelids or go bold with glitter-packed pigments, this trend ensures that your eyes remain the center of attention. Whether you go for a soft, shimmery color on your eyelids or bold, glittery shades, this trend makes sure your eyes are the main focus. Personally, I love using a concealer that matches my skin tone as a base before applying glitter or shimmery eyeshadows. It helps the glitter stand out more and makes it stick better, so it lasts through long performances.
These trends are all about playing with color, texture, and sparkle to create a stunning look that complements your performance. Whether you go for one of these trends or mix them all together, you’re sure to turn heads this dance season. Now, it’s time to hit the stage and let your makeup shine as brightly as your moves!
