From hair to makeup to the perfect tan, we’re covering it all so you can feel your absolute best on stage.
5 Key Takeaways from This Episode:
1️⃣ Flawless Hair Game:
Aimee emphasizes the importance of full, gap-free hair in your back pose. She recommends using extra hair extensions and brushing out curls backstage with a wide-tooth comb to ensure no gaps show through. The secret? Wash hair the day before the show and use a volumizing mousse like Color Wow’s Bombshell Blowout for that extra oomph!
2️⃣ Face Prep = Makeup Magic:
Aimee swears by shaving (or dermaplaning) her face before makeup application. This smooths the skin, eliminates peach fuzz, and allows makeup to sit beautifully for that flawless, stage-ready finish. Hydration and exfoliation in the weeks leading up to the show are also key to keeping skin clear and glowing.
3️⃣ The Right Makeup Artist Makes All the Difference:
When it comes to makeup, Aimee advises choosing artists experienced with stage makeup who understand how to match your tan and create bold, camera-ready looks. Communication is crucial—let your artist know if you’re fully tanned so they can blend everything seamlessly.
4️⃣ Tan Like a Pro:
Aimee begins exfoliating and prepping her skin three weeks out, using fragrance-free scrubs and Epsom salt. She shaves 1–2 days before and applies her DIY Pro Tan with precision using mitts and gloves—no spray needed! Her top tip? Don’t fear doing it yourself; with practice, you can achieve an even, gorgeous tan solo.
5️⃣ Trial Runs Are Your Best Friend:
Aimee encourages competitors to rehearse their glam routine ahead of show day. Whether it’s hair, makeup, or tan, practicing ensures fewer surprises and more confidence when it’s time to shine on stage.
