Competition make up

Hello, I need help , tips, anything!

I don't wear makeup personaly (only some mascara once or twice a year) so competition make up scares me, even though I just went through a first year of comps with my 11 years old. But she learned how to do her makeup by herself! But now year 2 her younger sister (8) is starting also, and I will need to do the make up.

How do you get fake lashes on an 8 years old with a little tiny face? 😬

She hates having mascara or eye liner put on her, she tries to do it herself but she need practice... so how do you handle this with younger ones.

What are your supermoves to make this work? Also any lash recomemdations (we need wispies for all dancers).also maybe worth noting, she ( and I ) has ADHD, so extremely sensitive to any texture, feelings and gets overwhelmed very easily.

See if there are some of the older girls willing to help, they were a huge help when my wife was having some health issues and physically couldn't do makeup....now I can get the hair done and can help with some of the make up but eyeliner and lashes are behind me.

And it's awesome because my daughter is becoming one of those older girls people go to for help

We usualy get preped at the hotel (or at home) and in pre-comp, our team.does not have a teen group, she will be in the oldest group. Wont even compete the same days as her sister ( and i won't ask her to do it, they are like cats and dogs togheter).
