TAFY Dance Team Makeup Tutorial: Stage-Ready Competition Look

In this tutorial, we’re creating the TAFY Dance Team Makeup Look — a performance-ready dance competition style designed to stand out under bright stage lights while staying secure through every routine.

This look focuses on soft blended dimension, shimmer highlights, defined liner, glowing cheeks, and long-wear lips so dancers look polished from warm-up to awards.

Step 1: Prep the Eyes

Start by applying a thin layer of eyeshadow primer across the eyelid. This step is optional, but it helps the eyeshadow appear more vibrant and stay in place longer.

Next, dust a little loose setting powder under the eyes. This catches any fallout and makes cleanup quick and easy.

Step 2: Base Eyeshadow

Using a fluffy brush, dust a base color across the eyelid to create a smooth foundation for the rest of the look.

Step 3: Define the Crease

With a dome-shaped brush, apply the brown crease shade into the crease. Press the color in and sweep it back and forth toward the outer corner. Then switch to a fluffy brush to blend and soften.

Step 4: Add Lid Shimmer

Use your fingertip to press a light shimmer shade onto the inner and middle lid. You can also use a foam applicator for this step.

Step 5: Deepen the Outer Corner

Using a dome brush, apply a dark brown matte shade into the outer corner in a V shape.

Pro Tip: For a sharp edge, line your finger from the outer corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow. This helps guide the shape of your smokey eye.

Blend with a fluffy brush to keep the look soft but defined.

Step 6: Highlight the Center

Add another touch of the shimmer shade to the middle of the lid for extra light reflection. Lightly sweep a fluffy brush across the lid to blend.

Step 7: Eyeliner & Mascara

Apply eyeliner along the top lash line.

Brush away any fallout powder, then add two coats of mascara to build volume and length.

Step 8: Blush

Apply a rosy shimmer blush to the apples of the cheeks and blend upward toward the cheekbones for a lifted, stage-ready glow.

Step 9: Long-Wear Lips

Clean lips with a makeup wipe to remove oils and balm.

Apply your matte liquid lipstick by lining first, then filling in with a thin coat. Let it dry completely. Blot lightly with a tissue if needed.

Important: To keep lips transfer-proof, avoid chapstick, gloss, or balm underneath or over the lipstick.

Step 10: Finish with Lashes

Complete the look with magnetic lashes:

• Apply two coats of magnetic liner over your eyeliner
• Place lashes onto the liner
• Press gently with fingers or a brush so magnets fully connect
