HOW TO DO A COMPETITION & BALLET BUN:
Good video above with a few added notes:
- Secure the initial ponytail with at least 2 rubber bands.
- If using a bun builder, use a stretchy thick rubber band and wrap it around the bun builder at least 2 times! This will make your bun WAY more secure.
- Use hair pins rather than bobby pins — they are “wider” and will hold more hair in place.
- Final STEP! – Use a hairnet over the entire bun (same color as your child’s hair) and secure with hair-colored hair pins or bobby pins.

Competition makeup can be applied in a number of different ways. Honestly, what works best for you really depends on your child. If you are nervous or unsure, please consult a makeup professional (Sephora, Ulta, Independent Consultant, etc) or a veteran parent. Have questions? Need help? Email Jeanne or call 920-217-1026
Please encourage kids ages 12+ to start doing their own competition makeup. Start with a few steps until they become comfortable and go from there. Since there are so many different methods for applying makeup, we think it’s beneficial to watch a few different videos to get ideas for what might work best for you. Keep in mind that we are using a simplified color palette of just 3 eye colors and doing a lot of blending. You can use more colors if that’s easier for you as long as the end result is similar to the pictures in our makeup document. Please read our makeup shopping list so that you get the correct colors for the POD! THEN, our best advice is to practice, practice, practice on a low-stress NON-competition day and give yourself plenty of time. Be patient with the little ones!
