If you are serious about dancing, you are already familiar with the pressure that comes with dance competitions and how exciting, yet stressful the whole experience can be... Luckily, there's a whole team focusing on costume selection, conducting rehearsals, makeup and what not. However, there are a few things that only you can manage, which is why you need to carefully stock your dance bag with some essential items. Like for instance.
First things first, although there will be someone to do your makeup, while waiting for your turn, you might get sweaty or smudge something accidentally, so it's always good to have a few makeup items with you and do a touch up if needed. In order to do so, you will definitely need a mirror. Now for you to be able to do the checkup and touch up anywhere, even away from the crowd, you need to carry a foldable mirror with you. The best choice for such mirror, if you want to stay a step ahead and get maximum convenience, is a cordless lighted makeup mirror.
No matter the lighting conditions, such a mirror can allow you to notice all details, so you can ensure that your makeup is absolutely flawless at all times. The soft LED lights placed around the mirror imitate natural sunlight and will expose your face completely and evenly for an excellent view. Also, the LED lights are energy saving and can last for many hours. A cordless lighted makeup mirror can also help you when re-applying other essentials such as hair spray or bobby pins to secure your hairstyle. If you aren't able to do a touch up yourself, after looking in the mirror and seeing what needs to be done, you can see if there is still an available makeup artist there, so they can help you.
Next, apart from looking flawless, you'll also want to smell heavenly at all times which means you'll need to include deodorant and a small perfume in your bag too. A pack of wet wipes can also come in handy if you have a snack and need to wipe your hands which bring me to the next point. Waiting for your turn can make you hungry and you'll surely need all the energy you can get once on the stage. Therefore, having a snack or two with you is a smart idea. Energy bars are the best option, or you can simply take a banana or two.
