The dancers of So You Think You Can Dance Season 9 are currently on tour across the US. With a grueling schedule of travel and performances it can be a challenge for the dancers to look their best. Here the girls of the tour, Season 9 Winner Eliana, and finalists Lindsay, Witney, Tiffany and Audrey share their beauty tips from the road.
ELIANA
West Palm Beach, Florida
Age: 21
What is your go-to look on tour?
“My go-to-look is a smokey eye with the color palate based off of a metallic dark green. The color makes brown eyes pop more than just black and grey. For stage makeup, go for the dark look, but offstage, it’s best to give your skin a rest.”
What are your go-to beauty products?
“Kiehl’s products for my skin – I use the facial wash, toner and moisturizer. My curly hair tends to be on the dry side so leave-in conditioner is a must-have, as well as a gentle mousse. I recommend Fredric Fekkai and Paul Mitchell products.”
Top Advice
“As long as you feel beautiful it radiates naturally.”
TIFFANY
Plantation, Florida
Age: 19
What is your go-to look on tour?
“My go-to look is natural and bright. One thing I really focus on is making my eyes look bright for the audience in the back of the room. Make sure that the middle of your face is light and the outside has the bronzer blush.”
What are your go-to beauty products?
“For performing I use MAC eye shadow and MAC foundation, blush and bronzer. For my everyday look I use Maybelline liquid eyeliner and mascara. Lip gloss from Ofra is the finishing touch.”
Top Advice
“Be nice to your face and hair so they will be nice to you!”
LINDSAY
Provo, Utah
Age: 18
Do you have any tips for long lasting make-up while performing on tour?
“To help my makeup last longer, I use moisturizer mixed with foundation to give my makeup a strong base that will hold all night.”
What are your go-to beauty products?
“My go-to products for stage makeup are MAC moisturizer and foundation. I also love my MAC Fluidline liquid eyeliner in Blacktrack. For everyday makeup, I use MAC Give Me Sun! bronzer with some MAC Dainty blush and their sheer Frou lipstick.”
Top Advice
“Wash your face every night and keep it moisturized.”
WITNEY
American Fork, Utah
Age: 18
What are your go-to beauty products?
“I always wash my face with Clinique face scrub. It’s honestly the best wash ever invented! I love it because it leaves your face feeling refreshed and zit-free, which is amazing! As far as make-up – before I put any on my face, I use MAC primer which keeps the makeup on all night. Even when I sweat, my makeup stays on and looks like it did when I first put it on. It’s brilliant!”
What is your go-to look on tour?
“When I’m performing on stage I like to make my look dramatic, but natural. For eye shadow, I always put a brown on the lid, a maroon for the crease, and a white just below the eyebrow with a thin, solid line for eyeliner on top. Add blush, a red lip and I’m ready to go!”
Top Advice
“You don’t need a lot of makeup. The more simple it is, the more you will pop. Simplicity is the key to a healthy, and glowing face. Wash your face daily, and moisturize afterwards. You won’t be disappointed.”
AUDREY
Edmond, OK
Age: 18
Do you have any tips for long lasting make-up while performing on tour?
“I like to use a really good base. Primer is always good to use to keep your makeup on and I also keep tissues handy to blot my face throughout the show.”
Top Advice
“When dancing on tour you have to remember that your hair and skin need off days too! So when you have a day off totally take advantage of keeping your skin and hair clean!”
