COMPETITION HAIR & MAKEUP
Your competition hair and makeup are an important part of your overall stage presentation. The right styling should complement your physique, suit your category and look great under bright stage lighting.
Our experienced Skinz hair and makeup team understands the demands of competition day and will work with you to create a polished look that suits you.
We take care of the details so you can focus on your competition, feel confident and step on stage looking your best.
Competition Makeup
Competition makeup is very different from everyday makeup. Strong stage lighting can wash out your features, so your makeup needs enough colour and definition to still look fresh and polished from the judging panel.
For stage, we recommend a soft-glam look with defined eyes, flattering colour and a lip shade that brings your face to life. Very nude makeup can disappear under the lights, while extremely dark or heavily shadowed styles can make the eyes look too heavy from a distance.
Our experienced makeup artists understand competition lighting and will create a look that complements your features, category, tan and overall stage presentation.
If you have a particular look in mind, please send us your inspiration photos before competition day.
Competition Hair Design
Your hairstyle is an important part of your overall stage look. It should suit your face, category and outfit, but it also needs to last through a long competition day.
Competition venues can be hot and humid, so we recommend choosing a style that works with your natural hair. If your hair does not hold curls well, a straighter style may be a better choice. If your hair becomes frizzy in humidity, a sleek ponytail or half-up style can work really well.
Clip-in extensions can add extra heat and weight, so use them only if they are needed to achieve your chosen look.
Our hairstylists will help create a polished style that complements your overall presentation and is practical enough to last throughout the day.
