Middle School & High School: Hair is specific for each class( your instructor will send out details). Makeup is to be worn heavier. Lips: red/pink lipstick appropriate for skin tone. Cheeks: red/pink blush. Eyes: darker eyeshadow( smokey eye) & mascara. Don’t forget your foundation, powder, eyeliner, & highlighter. Fake eyelashes are optional.
Cheer: Hair needs to be in a high pony with bowtails to the front. If hair cannot physically go into a high pony it needs to be in a high half up. Please see the above age groups for makeup.
