If they didn´t wear any make up, the lights would totally wash them up. I mean centuries of theatre tradition could not be that wrong, right? Lovely tutorial.

[@pacificnorthwestballet]

so we asked Carli, and she let us in on her secret sparkle dust, it's by New York Color. Have fun with that!

[@EmilyK1101]

oh my god this is literally exactly what i do. the colours are the same and i even do the same colour for my brows and crease like she did omg

[@inana1480]

I guess that's why all ballerinas look like hundreds of sisters lol don't get me wrong, that's super cute 💕💕

[@daydreameraj3506]

OMG! I thought the make-up is a bit too much at first but it looks natural when she was on stage. Perfect! Thumbs-up!

[@zixiong681]

yep! I'm like 7 years late but the lighting is so harsh that regular makeup would look like no makeup on stage 😂

[@aromaladyellie]

I don't know if it's amusing or sad that even in big ballet companies, they use the cheapee, crappy paper towels the school districts get stuck with. The kind that don't absorb anything but just push the water around.

[@oliveaspencer4969]

The ballet companies don't use them it's the theaters supplies. The ballet companies just use the theatre ( which she is at in the video) only for shows.

[@erinpicken6435]

Razzle Dazzle Dorito It is one of the hardest corps de ballet pieces in any ballet due to stands and need for synchronized movements.

[@pacificnorthwestballet]

[@michellerocks9]

[@garysnyder6390]

does anyone know what that sparkley highlight she put in the corners of her eyes was? what brand is it?

[@Linnypooh2]

Bourjois

[@MrMario552]

Hi I'm tea and I am a ballerina I love this makeup

[@IAmDaBestBombDiggty]

What colour/shade was your brown eyeshadow?

[@DanielleGoldenberg]

the main thing is, stage lights wash out the face entirely- the dramatics of stage makeup are to restore the natural color and brightness and features of the face, so that they appear just naturally lovely (usually- sometimes the makeup is meant to be even fiercer and distinctive). So, perhaps the dramatic makeup isn't noticeable, but the dancer's beauty just is!

[@emilysan1998]

How do you do this
and What are the tips?

[@shippermd]

Hi. Thanks for the info! Can I just use multiple coats of mascara, tho? I have many allergies and may react to the glue!!

[@abigailcraig1147]

shippermd do a patch test for the glue on your hand first and see if you react to it, i have many allergies too but i dont have an issue with fake lashes

[@allisonbyles4904]

What colour is the white eye shadow?

[@gabsl1552]

i love ittttt! I will do this for my recital!!!!! SUPER LOVE IT!

[@Kahnny13]

I don't know the exact shade, but I know it's from MAC :) It could be Swiss Chocolate but I may be wrong...If you go online or to your local MAC store/counter, you'll probably be able to find it

[@riaklop]

mooi opgemaakt beautiful

[@RedhairedBallerina]

OOOH YES!!! Could you do different people putting on makeup? Because there's not nearly enough stage tutorials on YT :)

[@finn6368]

the only ones i ever see are tutorials for little kids :p

[@amyamymodalove8853]

I wanna ask Is that brown eyeshadow from MAC which is called Expresso? 🤔😃

[@jenniferlamont7460]

yes

[@NgocAnh-vn1pt]

2021

[@aleksandrkisseloff6609]

What brand of foundation is that? And what is the name of the brown color eyeshadow that you used?

[@johnregister5428]

Aleks Kisseloff i would say MAC Swiss Chocolate as an educated guess

[@allidancindiva6751]

I'm pretty sure the foundation is from Mary Kay. :-)

[@inesmagalhaes8284]

allidancindiva My mom is a Mary Kay beauty consultant 😊

[@Wolfspirirt1997]

Quickest makeup EVER....

[@cree_VI]

ahhh, not very good idea to contour jaw line with a blush, looks like somebody slapped. There is special contour palettes and also highlighters...

[@rollitonhome]

this was in 2011, back then there weren't as many products and brands available as today

[@t.lo90--93]

I dobt like this make up, i prefer these from catwalks

[@OnAron1996]

Wtf ahhahahahahahahahahahahah
