This thread makes me so happy that a) I only cheered in high school + above and b) that glitter in Maine HS cheer is illegal

Thanks everyone! Where does the bronzer go? Blush I assume is cheekbones.
Our gym does not allow makeup at all for mini/youth, which I think is good. They are not old enough so that they are already using makeup, so why really should you put in on them for a competition? Putting makeup on a little kid just puts focus on the wrong things imo. Let the kids just focus on their performance and on having a good time!
Juniors at our gym wear a soft brown sparkly smoky eye with a lip tint and seniors wear a black and silvery kinda smoky eye with pink/reddish lips. Nothing over the top, just a nice makeup look.
I remember teams doing one blue glitter eye and one red, or crazy two inch eyliner wings and things 10 years ago but I like just a nice smoky eye and lipstick. Stay classy.

I'm on the fence as I often am... I agree with the stage makeup argument. CP loves wearing makeup. But I'm slightly annoyed at our gym's complicated makeup instructions. 4 different color eyeshadow? I think I'll cheat and only do 3... lol.
Are they going for a smokey eye type look? CP's gym does that and it requires 4 colors.
Yup that's it. Black, silver, grey, white. I might just not do the grey, but I'm waiting for help from my makeup artist friend. The picture the gym sent looks like just black & silver. I wonder if the coach would spot it... "Susie, you are not wearing the grey, wash it off and start again!" :p
I use 4 colors on droplet.. First because I use a base teal since it sometimes fades a little between meet time and performance time, and secondly, for blending. It's easier to take the colors mesh if you have a variety. Also, if there is white, that's a highlighting thing usually to brighten the eyes.
I am definitely not a makeup expert, but this is what I have learned this year. Droplet wears white, silver, teal, and a tiny tiny touch of black for every team. (She is only on youth teams)
When you mentioned all of the colors, I immediately thought "nope, there's no way I would buy gray." Lol there is no chance they will know.That makes sense and the colors are different! I'm not getting the silver and grey, but it's no biggie, I'll make it look good somehow whether I end up using 3 or 4 colors. :)
