The Pointe Paint is a professional pointe shoe paint developed specifically for dancers who want to colour-match, customise and refresh their pointe shoes. Created by dancers for dancers, this specialist formula is designed for use on satin pointe shoes and is ideal for the "pancaking".
Traditionally, pointe shoes have been manufactured in pale pink satin. However, many dancers now choose to colour-match their shoes to their own skin tone, tights or costume to create a seamless visual line from leg to foot. This technique, known as pancaking - eliminates the satin's natural shine, allowing the shoes to blend seamlessly with the leg line.
In addition to colour matching, Pointe Paint can also be used to refresh worn satin, cover marks and scuffs, or customise shoes for theatrical productions, contemporary works and special performance requirements.

What Does "Pancaking" Pointe Shoes Mean?
Pancaking is the process of colouring the satin of a pointe shoe to match a dancer's skin tone. The term originates from the theatrical makeup traditionally used for stage performances. By reducing the visual contrast between the leg and the shoe (eliminates satin's natural shine, allowing the shoes to blend seamlessly with the leg), dancers create a longer, cleaner line that is particularly effective under stage lighting and in photography.
Today, pancaking has become common practice throughout the ballet world, helping dancers achieve a more personalised and inclusive presentation while enhancing the overall aesthetic of classical and contemporary performances.
A Modern Essential for Today's Ballet Dancer
From professional companies to vocational training programmes, more dancers than ever are choosing to pancake their pointe shoes for a polished and personalised stage appearance. Pointe Paint provides a simple, effective way to achieve this look while helping maintain the beauty and performance of your pointe shoes.
