Competition List
In order to pack for success my competition checklist includes the following items:
Makeup that you use
I always go to the competition with my makeup already done, however, depending on stage lighting you could need more. Lipstick is notorious for coming off so be prepared for touch ups.
Bikini Bite
This is a roll-on glue used to attach your suit to your skin in the exact place that you want it. You will not have to worry about your suit moving or creeping up!
Travel Sewing Kit, Safety Pins, Scissors
If your costume rips or needs adjustment you???ll be prepared.
Extra Tapes Of Your Music
This is very important to have with you. If your tape doesn???t work or is misplaced you have another one. It???s also nice to sit and listen to your music with a Walkman before the contest.
Hair Spray & Any Hair Accessories
It???s important that your hair is neat and off your face.
Nail Polish & Nail Glue
If a nail breaks, lifts or gets scuffed, you???ll be able to fix it.
Tanning Product
You may need to do some last minute touch ups or even an entire coat depending on the stage lighting. Your coloring is essential for you to be successful -- the darker you are on stage, the better you???ll look!
Plastic Gloves
You don???t want the palms of your hands to turn black due to the tanning cream so wear gloves when applying it.
Resistant Workout Bands
These bands are great to help you pump up and give fullness to your muscles before going on stage. Even though this is a fitness competition you???ll look better with a little muscle pump.
Skin Lotion
No oils are allowed in fitness competitions due to safety reasons since you will be performing a routine and a slippery stage would be quite dangerous. I use a moisturizer that helps prevent the drying that the tanning creams cause and a sparkle lotion that gives my skin a nice glow.
Vaseline
Put this over your front teeth so that you can keep smiling even if your mouth becomes dry.
Grippers For Heels
You don???t want to have to worry about slipping in your new shoes on stage while you???re walking or doing quarter turns.
Cover-up For Your Skin
It???s best to try and hide any blemishes, bruises or tattoos that you have.
Hairdryer & Curling Iron
A hairdryer is always good to have around if something gets wet and needs drying or if an outfit gets stained and has to be washed and then dried. It???s also good for drying the tanning products if another coat was applied. Curling irons are good for adding in some last minute curls since
Comfortable Warm Ups
It???s important to keep your muscles warm while you???re in your physique suits waiting your turn. You want your muscles to be relaxed and warm to prevent injury during your routine. If you???re cold your muscles will be tight and you will have a greater risk for injury.
Protective Warm Up Gear
Use kneepads and wrist wraps for practicing your routine backstage. You don???t want to risk injury or bruising before you perform.
Towel
You may sweat while warming up or practicing your routine so have a towel to dry off. You don???t want to slip during your performance due to sweat you never wiped off.
Extra Stones & Material Glue
If stones fall off any of your outfits you???ll be able to fix them in a jiffy.
Jewelry
You are allowed to wear jewelry in the physique rounds but make sure that it is classy and doesn???t take away from your physique.
Snacks
Pack water and foods for energy.
Back Up Costumes & Suits
This is nice to have but often not economical. Be extra careful to keep track of your belongings at the contest. If you are flying on a plane carry on your outfits and shoes.
Camera
It???s great to get some back-stage memories of your contests. You will always make new friends. Hopefully, you will have someone in the audience with a camera taking pictures of you on stage. Pictures enable you to look back at a later date and critique yourself so that you can make changes for your next contest.
Business Cards or Photographs
Someone at the show may be interested in hiring you for a modeling job or endorsement so be prepared!
Last, But Not Least, Extra Shoe Laces In Case One Of Them Breaks! ****If you're doing Fitness and Figure*****
Preparation and organization are the keys to success with anything you do in life. So make your list and check it twice. If you are prepared for anything to happen, then everything will go smoothly on contest day and you???ll have no worries.
Have a great day
