“I started to dance when I was two and a half years old, and when I was 12 years old, I remember seeing the duration of Rockettes the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade and deciding that I wanted to be one of them. Now it is my fourth season as Rockette. It really is incredible work and honor.
We can do up to four shows a day, there are 90 minutes with nine dances and nine costume changes, we want to say something to wear makeup for more than 10 hours. Preparing my skin is essential. Start at home, where you clean with young people for people’s cleaner. It is a refreshing way to start the day. Then I like the ice roll to awaken my face, followed by spraying a dose of hydration with Clearstem’s skinspray. While my face is still wet for the skinspray, I patted the essence of Cosrx snail. Then I finish preparing with the natural brightness of Jergens and the SPF 40 of Trader Joe. Ah, and I prepare my lips for the iconic red rockettes lip with petroleum jelly.
After my last show, I use my letters of the day free of the day to clean my lipstick. I never go to bed with an ounce of makeup, so once I get home, I use the green balm of the pharmacy. He is a child or is incredible how he melts very makeup without drying my skin. Then I wash my face with the youth for the people cleaner. If I have an excess of makeup or glue for the eyelashes, use Q-tips with coconut oil to remove it. Then I patted the good discoloration serum of the molecules and clarins. And I like the mask to sleep from Laneige water or youth to the mask of people’s dreams like a night cream because to feel really hydrated when I’m going to sleep, especially after cleaning all that stage makeup. And then the last step is a little of castor oil in my eyebrows and eyelashes.
Once a week, I use the salicylic acid mask of the ordinary at 2%, I have used it since I was in high school. The night before my free day, I like to use a guide with facial oil to restore my face after a long week. And since we cannot see much the sun in the City Council of Radio all the time, I tan my body with B.Tan’s B.tan’s Forever + Ever Mousse and my face with Isle of Paradise’s Drops in in in in in Half Every three days. I mean, I have to do it. I am a Florida girl, I need a shine or look sick. Ah, and I keep the powerful patches of hero cosmetics for pimples. Clean & Clear’s Persa Gel is also great.
Each Rockette has a unique form of makeup and hair. I had to experience my first year for a long time because apart from staining a red lip and false eyelashes, you get free noise. I begin with the serum of the primer of the law and the wild fish. Leave my skin so wet, which is good because I use many pressed powders and I don’t want my skin to look too much mate. Then a bit of the rescue balm of hero cosmetics at small points, is green, so neutralizes redness under my base, before entering with the tarte -shaped tape corrector in 29n and the Triclone de Haus Labs Foundation in 200. I also take it to my neck. It really covers a lot without being cakey. Someone once told me that the higher place its contour, the better, so I put the Hollywood contour wand of Charlotte Tilbury a little above where I want to create shadows. I established it with the Hoola de Benefit tanner, and I like to use my single -size adjustment dust to accentuate the lighter sides under my cheekbones, just above my jaw line, and my nose too.
Then I pass by my eyes. I prepare them with the tatcha silk canvas primer balm, and alternate between Morphe’s champagne shine [Editor’s note: discontinued] Eye shadow palette and Mac’s Connect in color pallette, which has two really beautiful golden tones that I like to use for special events. Real use an index card to create the shape of my eye. I keep watching people use tape, but I don’t want to put adhesive tape on my face every time they make me up.
I make my eyeliner with the professional tip of Glossier: it is only a liquid eyeliner that I can use to do a winged eye. Other pens do not have such a defined tip, which gives it so much control. I also love Glossier’s mascara – I use it Black Duration of duration but Brown A day. It doesn’t get thick, and I love how easy it goes out at the end of the night. So it’s time for my falsifications. I like to cut my Ardell types before putting them, and I apply them with the glue for the duo’s eyelashes. I like to finish the eyes with the Defoling-Aine eyeliner of Maybellin in my flotation line because I do not like the liquid lining there. It is also a bit nostalgic because my mother used it to me before competitions when I was younger.
At this point, my sprinkled chocolate solid also on my face and neck to configure everything and add heat. Then I keep my eyebrows for the end. The threaded every two weeks in Perfect Brows on Hell’s Kitchen, it only costs $ 10! If I need to fill any space, use Mac’s Brow Styler [Editor’s note: discontinued]And I put them with the Got2B eyebrow and edges gel, which consolidate them all day. We use a wig and a hat that goes well on our navigation of some dances, and just then, they do not move.
Of course I can’t forget the iconic red rockette lip. My favorite red is the haus labs atomic Shake lip lacquer in Ruby Shine But the brand suspended it: we have to talk to Lady Gaga. A sliding leaves such a beautiful shine that it is not transferred all day. Now that I am in my last bottle, I only use it for special occasions. The rest of the time, I use the 10 -hour lipstick of Sephora with your lip eyeliner to enter Deep ruby [Editor’s note: discontinued]. It also remains very good.
In general, I can’t live without one/size in ‘Til Dawn Spray. A spritz and I am blocked and loaded for Showtime. While driving, I dust on my score. That is a trick that some taught me. I like to mix fentys How many carats? Diamond Bomb with naked illuminated dust from Urban Decay [Editor’s note: discontinued]—It is a little pink that coincides with my blush combo, which is Mac’s Dwoon Rosa and Flower.
Each dancer has to have their hair in the characteristic touch of Rockette French. This helps keep our hats and wigs in the same place. So, while I am doing my makeup, I have my hair in a pre-legitatory to prepare it. This is especially important when I have clean hair, with which I find it difficult to work. I start spraying water on him and adding Freze de Tresemmé to give him texture to help sustain the shape of the turn. When I’m ready, I take it, I read it again, add an ecological style gel and twist it. The turns can take girls up to 30 minutes. Sometimes we have ‘Twist Fits’, it is what we call them, because our hair does not want to climb. [Laughs] He certainly took me some time to solve it.
To keep it healthy, use the shampoo and black vanilla conditioner of Carol’s Daughter. The woman who made my hair for the graduation dance that told me to try her. She said: “I promise that they will change your life.” I have not looked back since then. However, once a week, I mix with the former scalp of Head & Shoulders to get rid of any accumulation of products in my scalp. Thank God that is natural has a great miraculous mask that I use once a week too.
I make my own nail duration the season. I like to keep them short, which helps with all our rapid costume changes: one of our costume changes is only 78 seconds. I put the Esssie’s gel enamel in Only bubblesA burgundy. Then I make an upper layer of Essie gel and the cure with a gel lamp. Making my nails makes me feel good. Red nails, red lips, long eyelashes and boom: I’m a City Rockette Radio!
I have a new aroma every season. Duration My first, I used Bath & Body Works’ at Night Diamond Shimmer Mist. It is very cheesy, very fun. I had to intensify my second year, so I received Chloé nominated. I felt really sure returning as a second year rockette, and this perfume smells of trust. Duration in my third year, I used the path of Giorgio Armani. I got an aroma this year, but I’m looking at Burberry, we’ll see. My daily aroma is brighter. I keep one of the size of a trip on my backpack at all times. I have used it since 2020, and it reminds me of that era of transition when I was auditioning to become a Rockette for the first time. “
