My Dad, God bless him used to say to me & my sister......."You don't need that rubbish, you are beautiful without it!"
To this day I hardly ever wear make up.

I don't have any tips, but thought it might be worth having a look through some You Tube videos.  I did a search and here are the results:

I didn't have time to look at the videos, but I think you may find some good tips in there.

Good luck!

If you are in a group, they will probably have all the tips and know-how you need.

 Now that summer is coming try keeping your make up in the fridge so that it doesn't melt & smudge when you are putting it on. Also try using liquid eyeliner as it probably would last longer & will be less likely to smudge when you are breaking out in a sweat while performing

Have you tried to get hold of the type of make up they use in theatre productions? I should imagine that would be fairly durable and give the long last you need when you are dancing.

Hi, this could help you as when I was dancing we were told to put on make-up then brush over with a light coating of powder then reapply make-up also if you put a dab of perfume near your temples you won't perspire as much

6712marjorie, thank you... will definitely do that. what type of dancing do you do?
Replied by cosmeticsseller on 03-Nov-2009 12:36 (Ref 1971199) Report
dont freeze your makeup.
OK heres what you do!
Start with a clean moisturized face, and apply if you have it an oil absorbing makeup base.
Apply your foundation over entire face. Set it with loose sheer powder.
Apply an eyeshadow base, then eye shadow in a light tone all over eye.
Apply a medium shade in the eye socket, above eye crease.
Apply your eyeliner, THEN set it iwth some eyeshadow.
Apply waterproof mascara.
Apply your blush.
Line your lips with a neutral lip liner.
Apply your lipstick.

cosmeticseller, thank you...but that's what i do. But maybe because i have oily skin + sweating... at the end of the night, i have black smudge under my outer eyes. usually when i go to ladies, i will fix it up a bit..but the eyeliner half gone already.
I use MAC black eyeliner...or maybe someone can suggest using other brand?
Replied by missdaisy on 03-Nov-2009 14:23 (Ref 1971351) Report
What about leaving off the eyeliner?  or using a pencil?
Replied by cosmeticsseller on 04-Nov-2009 00:22 (Ref 1972007) Report
use waterproof, and do you set your eyeliner with eyeshadow. Using an eyeshadow base helps too, many makeup brands have eye shadow base. If its still running, upgrade to waterproof products.
Products to try, clinique quickeyes, as its got pencil and powder to set it in the other end.
DIOR liquid liner is pretty good,and i used that on my wedding day, no runs.
The pros sometimes use SMASHBOX!

eye liner is pencil. Are you applying it under the entire eye from corner to corner, or just the outer eye, you can skip the liner if you want and just use waterproof mascara.But try the liquid, or a firmer pencil liner (like the kohl pencil) instead of the wax based MAC.Its probably too moisturizing and soft.

missdaisy: i do use pencil..

cosmeticseller: i use base from laura mercier before put the eyeshadow.
I have kohl pencil as well...

maybe i shouldn't use moisturiser before make up??? because i have oily skin...make it too oily when i put make up on???
but i still use moisturiser non-make-up day..?

No you should still use moisturizer, but a mattifying one oil free one, and the base of Laura Mercier should be used REALLY sparingly (less than a 5c coin), as i find that brand slightly oily, but it shouldnt affect your eye area as they generally are not placed in the eye area.
And as for your eye cream, how close to the eye do you apply it, it should only be applied on the orbital bone (meaning the brow, and the hard bony area below the eye) not anywhere near the eye itself, as it spreads due to the warmth of the skin.

You might find another brand of makeup base thats oil free is better for dancing (I use Clarins Skin Flash) and my foundation is an oil free mattifying one that i apply over my entire face, so my whole face has foundation on it, then put on some concealer, such as DIOR Skinflash as its a highlighting concealer and an eyemakeup base all in one or Clarins Instant Perfection Instant Light concealer which does a similar job. I also use a Clinique light eyeshadow base before eye makeup (Clinique touch tint for eyes)

Silly question, do you apply loose/pressed powder too? Loose and pressed translucent powder is sheer, and sets all makeup without covering the color, fluff it on over the whole face with a big brush after makeup.

In your pocket at dance class, put some oil blotting sheets to pat the face during a break, it saves you having to re-apply makeup, and absorbs oil/sweat. And pack a hydrating spray face mist in your bag, like Dior Hydration spray that both sets makeup, and hydrates/cools the skin. Just mist that on (2-3 sprays) after blotting the face.

seems like you have some great brands, the only other thing i could recommend is next time you are re-stocking get some more tips from the makeup girls. But if you are going for it really hard during dance class, i dont think any makeup will last that well, even the waterproof ones, as they are more water "resistant" and sweat is water and oil.Oil does dissolve makeup. As i mentioned, the things that will help are keeping the face cool and hydrated, the oil blotting paper (like Clinique, shishedo, or MAC are brands i can think of, off the top of my head) and oil absorbing gel (Clarins makes one, you can put it over your face makeup, but not the eyes) Clinique has one,that you can blend on top of foundation.
The one you can put directly onto eyes is SHE-LAQ by benefit, according to their website:
Our magical makeup sealer solves the age old dilemma of "smudged makeup!" Apply to shadows, mascaras, lipsticks and liners for makeup that stays put!what else you need to know:Comes with four brushes in their own special pouch.
Dip a clean brush into she-laq and apply over makeup to seal it on. Allow to dry completely for about 1-2 minutes before touching. Wash brushes after each use and store in pouch.
Maybe go to a Benefit counter,ask for a demo before a dance class, and see how it goes.

wow thank's... definitely have to check out Benefit when i get chance...
unfortunately I can't have my make-up done at shop, because i have 2 kids with me. there's no way they will wait 1/2 hour without running around.
thank's heaps for the info!!!!

Make sure your eyelids and eye area is free from all oil before starting to apply eye makeup.  Apply a base colour (neutral colour) over eyelid first then apply eyeliner.  Don't use liquid eyeliner as this is not waterproof and will definitely smudge/run due to perspiration.  Most eyeliners are wax based and melt with the heat of the body.  To help your eyeliner from sliding/smudging apply eyeshadow (or finishing powder) in a similar colour over the top of it to set it. 

There are waterproof eyeliners available.

Put a dusting of powder or mineral makeup finishing powder over the top to set all your makeup.  This will absorb any excess oil excreted by your skin.  This will keep your makeup looking fresh.

Not sure about eye make up etc, but a great way to keep make up itself on your face with very good coverage, especially dancing, photographic modelling etc is to use concealer instead of liquid make up etc, especially if your skin is oily (!!)

Finish with a loose powder to set and voila !
