Belly Dancing Costumes & Exercises - Belly dancer makeup

What's the final touch in putting together a Belly Dance look? Hi, I'm Johanna Krynytzky with Hip Expressions in St. Petersburg, Florida. One thing that's very important to complete the look of a Belly Dancer is your makeup. You want to make sure to have a nice makeup look to compliment the rest of your outfit. It doesn't do to have a beautiful outfit and then not make not any makeup on. So, you want to make sure that you have lined your lips with lip liner and put on some lipstick. You want blush to accent your cheeks. And then on the eyes, you can darken your brows, and it really doesn't matter how you do your eyes. You can go with bright colors or just stick with some neutrals, whatever your costuming calls for. But a little glitter is always nice. And then the kind of a hallmark of a Belly Dancer is having nice dark liner, and then sometimes we'll pull it out and have a nice little line out the side of the eye. So, what you want to do is, you know, go down to your local makeup counter and say, "Hey, I want a nice dramatic look." If you ask them for a dramatic look, see what they do with your eyes, you can maybe add a couple of things here and there, and then you'll have a beautiful look for Belly Dancing.
