Our colours are navy blue, gold and white; we've used MAC glitter for the past four years and it's lasted us well. Our eye makeup is white gold glitter on the lid (sounds a little excessive, but the glitter is gold mixed with white so it comes across a bit more subtle than gaudy... as subtle as glitter can be! ;)). We also always use a hot pink lipstick; most teams wear red, so it gives us a chance to stand out. I realize in writing, all together, that sounds extremely tacky, but it's actually a lot classier than you'd imagine and the kids love it.
This past year, I suggested going to shimmer eyeshadow and the kids were devastated (they would rather have gone outside in the rain to apply glitter (offering me sweatshirts to sit on!) than have shimmer eyeshadow... :rolleyes:) so the glitter stayed for the 2011-2012 season! Myself and our tumbling coach do every kids glitter (we usually have a team between 13-18; the kids show up with base makeup and while we're applying glitter they do their own liner and mascara); it's not as efficient as getting them makeup kits, but it ensures that everyone's early for competition, everyone looks the same and I love it because I personally get a moment with each of the kids on competition morning! It gives me a chance to check in with them, see who's nervous and if anyone needs any help, and the kids love it because it's one little moment of relaxation before the chaos and they say they love the little personal moment with us... it was slightly problematic at our last competition last year, because our Seniors (and us coaches) cried through the entire "last makeup" ever...
