Knowing how to apply the perfect makeup for your baton twirling performance can really help you to stand out while on the stage. Starline Baton has a list of essentials and ways to apply the makeup for your next big performance.

Supplies That You Will Need:

• A makeup brush set
• Cosmetic sponges
• Foundation that is slightly darker than your skin color
• Eyeshadow palate that has at least three complimentary colors
• Black liquid eyeliner
• Black pencil eyeliner
• Black mascara
• Blush
• Red lip Liner
• Red color stay lipstick
• Makeup bag or case

Steps to Beautiful Makeup Application:

• Foundation: Be sure to apply foundation to a clean face, and use the cosmetic sponges so the foundation blends into the skin.
• Eyeshadow: Apply the lightest color to just under the eyebrow and to the eyelid and apply the next lightest color in between where you put the lightest color, and blend it in well. After that, apply the darkest color to the crease of the eye.
• Eyeliner: Apply liquid eyeliner to the top of the eye, and try to get as close to the lashes as you can. Next, sweep a very thin line of pencil eyeliner to the bottom of the eye.
• Mascara: Apply mascara to lashes with more focus on the top lashes and less to the bottom. Use an eyelash comb to separate and extend the eyelashes after applying mascara.
• Blush: Using a big brush, start at the middle of the cheekbone and blend back. By using a large blush brush, it will help blend the blush into the skin for a more natural look.
Lips: Apply lip liner first, staying within the natural lines of the lips. Then, apply the lipstick to the lips, using a color stay type formula as it works best because once it is on, it does not come off.

And there you go! If you are going to be applying stage makeup for the first time for a performance, be sure to practice at home a few times so you can perfect your technique.
