Make-Up Workshops with Rosa
Learn to apply stage-friendly make-up for belly dance! Basic application techniques are taught--so don't worry if you've never touched an eye pencil before.
After getting comfortable with the basics, we explore various exciting, belly dancer-ly embellishments.
Students learn to comfortably apply eyeliner, use different shades of shadow to add contour & mystery to your eyes, color your lips without "bleeding", refine your performance face--and embellish upon all of these techniques.
This is a BYOM workshop--Bring Your Own Make-up!
Rosa teaches make-up workshops periodically in the Greater Portland area.
