You've got your solo down and your pirouettes, flares or rock steps are better than they've ever been. You're ready to take the So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 3 audition stage by storm. But wait a sec...have you thought about how you're going to wear your hair? What about your makeup?

Remember, it's not just another day in the studio. There will be cameras everywhere and you want to make sure you're looking your very best from the moment you join the line up.

When it comes to hair and makeup, both hair stylist Pete Jardine and makeup artist Lynne Ryan agree that a natural look is optimal. Jardine and Ryan certainly know what they're talking about, having helped create the amazing looks for the Top 20 dancers every single week on SYTYCDC.

Hair: Finding a polished look

"You want to come into the show looking your very best," Jardine notes.

If dancers colour their hair, Jardine suggests they get into the salon asap to get their roots touched up. "You've got to make sure your colour's recently freshened up," he suggests as a starting point.

Jardine likes to see dancers wearing their hair down: "It ends up flowing and kind of being an extension of their movement," he says.

But if it's raining outside, and your hair is prone to frizzing or getting flat, he says, "Definitely wear it up!"

"I think a bit of height in the front is always nice if they're going to wear their hair back," he suggests. "But up or down, the most important thing is having a polished look that completes their dancing. I think a classic, clean look always does the trick."

Makeup with Lynne Ryan

The classic, clean look also applies to makeup, Ryan agrees. "You want to keep it natural looking as opposed to going for a stage makeup look," she cautions hopeful dancers.

In order to keep your makeup clean and looking fresh, consider long wearing makeup that can withstand the long day and all the sweating you'll be doing under the hot lights.

Eyes: Waterproof mascara, fresh false lashes and eyebrows that frame the face

"Make sure to wear waterproof mascara because dancers are going to sweat!" she says, with a laugh.

During the Season 2 auditions, Ryan noticed a lot of female dancers sporting previously worn false eyelashes. "But when you reuse them, they end up looking a bit scary," she laughs. "If you do decide to wear false eyelashes, don't put mascara on them. Put your mascara on first, and then the lashes on and they'll stay fresher looking."

Though defined eyebrows are key, Ryan cautions dancers not to over-tweeze. "Eyebrows really help to frame the face and because you're going to be on camera so much, you really want to have them," she says.

If you're unsure about the shape of them, make sure to see a professional, Ryan advises.

Foundation: "Blot, don't wipe!"

"With foundation, a little dab will do you. There's no need to cake it on!" Ryan says. She says dancers should make sure to cover any discolouration under the eyes and any blemishes, but remember, it's TV makeup, not stage makeup.

Be sure to have foundation on hand so you can touch it up over the course of the day, but watch out for using too much powder. "It can start to look really cakey if you load up on the powder," Ryan notes.

Another way to help keep the cakey look at bay is by staying hydrated. "If dancers layer on the powder and they haven't had enough water, it'll really show on their skin," Ryan says. "Maybe consider a foundation that has a mineral powder to it to keep the skin hydrated," she suggests.

And her biggest piece of advice: "Blot, don't wipe!" Blotting means you won't have to reapply after every time you're on stage and as Ryan says, "Reapplying too many times makes you look cakey by the end of the day."

Make sure you have tissues, or something you can blot your face throughout the course of the day.

Tanning time

"A lot of the dancers are into darker tans, but with all the lighting on camera, the skin usually looks even darker," Ryan notes. So lighten up and go for sun-kissed instead of fake 'n' bake.

Don't forget about your arms and legs. Bronzer works well for them, Ryan says. "Keep it nice and even and make sure it doesn't get onto your costume!"

Guys, you too!

And guys, don't think you're exempt! It's still important to make sure you're looking your best for the judges and the cameras. Ryan suggests using an oil control product "so they're less shiny."

She also reminds guys to stay hydrated and to blot away their sweat when they step off stage.

Let your dancing shine!

"For girls and guys, you don't want your makeup to be too heavy because you want to be able to see your personality show through," Ryan notes.

Remember, you want your sick moves and your talent to stand out, not your wacky hair cut or crazy makeup!
