Advice on stage make-up (for an 8yo)

[Regattah]

And thank goodness my little DD can do her own now. When she was 8 she was so scared of me coming anywhere near her eyes with anything pointy that she would continuously screw her eyes up, pull away etc etc. I would recommend having at least one practice run just to see how she is going to react. Also, re: the foundation issue, both my dds are pale, and so if under stage lights they needed the foundation to be a warmer shade than a true match to their skin colour, to avoid the dancing ghosts look - older DD in particular will make a fantastic Willi.

DD needs a touch of foundation under the stage lights, those without look like death warmed up!

 

DD does her own, and thanks to festivals, like huddsbslletmum, isn't bothered about makeup although, if she does put some on, it's very discrete!

I second the suggestion of foundation for pale-skinned children appearing under strong lights. We have seen far too many who looked like ghosts without it

Yes agree
