I go to a fine arts school, and we have yet another concert this weekend. Typically, I already know what I'm going to do for my hair and makeup. But this semester, I'm left stumped. I'm singing with upwards of 100 kids each song, and we have 4 songs in the concert.

My hair has to be up/pulled back, and my makeup cannot be crazy, with neon colours or anything. I don't need to use neutral shades like taupes and tans specifically, just as long as my makeup isn't too flashy and it's not going to melt off my face under the stage lights.

I'll post a picture of myself so you have an idea of what I'm working with lol. My hair is in short, choppy layers, and I have a roundish/heart shaped face with a square chin. Any advice will be appreciated :)

What clothes are you going to wear, the color/style? I'm already thinking something from the Lorac Pro pallet 1...And a good BB cream.

Definitely agree with Monica, get a good BB Cream or tinted moisturizer. I was a dancer for 12 years so I understand the intensity of stage lights lol. I've heard a lot of good reviews about Garnier BB cream and I personally love NARS tinted moisturizer if you want something more high quality. Waterproof mascara is a definite must just in case you do start sweating and if you want to wear eyeliner (which I would suggest) you're going to want to get a waterproof one. I would get a cream blush instead of a powder, Maybelline has one for about $5 I think thats absolutely gorgeous and doesn't budge-- and I have really oily skin. You can also fill in your eyebrows for more definition. you don't have to but it would give a nice frame to your face especially while your on stage. As for lip color, lipstick/lip stains have been my best friends during my years on stage. I would recommend getting a nice flushed rose color to compliment your skin tone. Covergirl, Revlon, and Maybelline have some beautiful shades to choose from. I personally like Revlon better because its part balm so it won't be drying on stage and you don't have the dreaded dry lip. Which sucks when you have sing lol. Hope this helps love!
