Please do not use the hotel washcloths for removing you makeup. Bring your own or and alternative. I prefer Costco Kirkland brand Daily Facial Cleansing Toweletts. They seem to be gentle, get the foundation off and disposable. 14. Eye makeup remover......You can use whatever you like. I LOVE "Lancome" waterproof eye makeup remover. It get off glue and all eye makeup. It costs a little more but I can't tell you how many brands that I have thrown away because they didn't work. It also lasts a long time. 15. Lotion to apply on your skin under your foundation. I really like CETAPHIL. It is especially good for sensitive skin because there are no additives, scents, or dyes added. You can get this at Costco.

Term: “Heavy Street Make-up” consists of your own: * Regular foundation, to be worn heavy and blended * Eye Shadow, please make it in Brown hues and blended * Eye liner, brown-black * Mascara * Eyebrow pencil, browns * RED lipstick, if dry use gloss * Blush, something that matches lipstick, blended well, no hard lines * Hair should always be clean and away from the face * Unscented hairspray and deodorant * NO perfume Contest Hair Guidelines Performance hair is bigger, wider and stiffer than you would wear on a day to day basis. We aren't trying to look alike but a "unit" look is what the judges want. Sometimes it may FEEL like we are trying to look like each other but the real personality comes across with a big smile, bright eyes, the message of the song and a passion for our music. Hair Guidlines: If hair is short, it should be backcombed or fluffed out in some way and sprayed with hairspray so it will not move or lose that volume before contest. If hair is long, it should be put up. If possible, you want it to have somewhat of a soft look without just being pulled straight back. A medium length is fine but it may still require backcombing and certainly lots of spray to keep it that way for the whole day. We don't want your hair to fall over or cover any part of your face. We need to see your smile and expression. Bangs are fine as long as they stay put and are short enough as to not cast big shadows on your face. You may want to use a wig if that's easier for you or add a hair bun or something similar. Just make sure they are well attached and well coiffed and sprayed. |
