Have you ever noticed that most ballerinas and ballet dancers almost always never wear that much makeup and jewelry/ accesories?

Or is it just my personal opinion ?
Isn’t it rather interesting that the more yoga/ballet you do, the less makeup /jewelry you seem to need or want?

D: I think that’s true. I’m a former ballet dancer and I still don’t wear much jewelry. It could have to do with the training. You’re not supposed to wear jewelry during recitals or practices so it just kinda sticks with you. It also weighs you down when you try to do a choreography.

And the makeup is usually really simple. For recitals, it’s a little blush on the cheeks and some eye makeup. But we do wear makeup, it’s not like it’s overdone though.
roxysophie95: yeah i do notice that
and i think it’s
because when ppl
see their recital
they want the audience
to see their preformance
not their beautiness
Brenna: Indeed it is interesting.
In my case it has more to do with understanding the beauty that comes from grace.

I’ve been doing yoga for four years, and the only jewelry I wear is a necklace my brother gave me when he joined the Marines.
Beyond that…makeup is for special occasions. And I rarely do more than highlight my eyes.

Just out of curiosity, why do you ask this?
