Ballroom competition makeup has different demands from everyday makeup. Stage lighting, distance from the audience, costumes, hairstyles, and the overall presentation of a dancer can all influence how a finished look is approached.
In Ballroom Makeup Workshop, professional Latin dancer Hope Jackson shares the tools and beauty essentials she uses when preparing a ballroom look. The workshop is intended to make the process approachable, including alternatives when dancers do not own the exact products being demonstrated.
Rather than presenting a rigid list of products that must be purchased, Hope encourages dancers to work creatively with suitable items they may already have in their makeup collection. This makes the workshop useful for dancers who are learning to prepare their own competition or performance makeup as well as those looking to refine their existing routine.
The material begins with the practical tools and brushes needed for application, providing a useful foundation for developing a repeatable ballroom makeup process.
