see you there!

I don't know! I'm totally out of my element here, my Mom and Dad never taught me the basics of makeupery.

You should have seen the last time I tried to put on lipstick, for god's sake; I couldn't sharpen the damn thing enough, the epoxy dried WAY too fast, and the siphon hose kept backing up. The evening pretty much ended in disaster. :(

Everyone should know how to: pilot a starship, build a house, cook a meal, code a website, fix a bicycle, dance in high heels, apply makeup, spin fire poi...

Looking forward to it. I'll bring spare hose.

You probably want liquid eyeliner, it goes on more opaque. the boundary between it and the greasepaint will be visible to people who pay attention, so be careful where you put it. it takes some practice to get the liquid stuff to go on smooth, though, so try it before it matters.
