OH SHIT SON
Tig is trying on makeup.
Concealer: holy crap, my acne disappears. Difficulty: putting it on the below-eye circles without it being obvious.
Foundation: damn thing disappears as soon as I put it on. That's good, right?
Powder: only makes the below-eye concealer look worse. I'm probably doing it wrong.
Blush: I got the basic idea. Deliberately picked out the darkest red color I can find (this is ostensibly for Columbia, after all), but it also means I can see a lot more when I make mistakes.
Eyeliner: Still haven't gotten the hang of the lower lid.
Eyeshadow: Since I have two eyes, that's twice the practice. Second eye looks significantly better than first eye (did one to completion before touching the other).
Mascara: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THIS STUFF WORKS. Need to get the hang of not clumping, also the bridge of my nose gets in the way while doing the left eye so I get a smudge there from the brush shaft. Also since my lower eyelashes are wicked long, gotta go easy on those. (Did not use eyelash curler. Dunno what effect that would have to application.)
Eyebrows: Haven't been properly shaped in a few months, so I didn't really try too hard. Attempted to make one of them "disappear" but didn't have much luck (if I'm really hardcore for Columbia some day, I might try shaving them, but not too fond of the idea right now). So on the other extreme, I tried a high arch, and ended up with 'Those... Eyebrows... ::twitch::'. Looks pretty good for my drag queen Halloween costume though.
Lip liner: Probably the easiest part. I accidentally chose a color that looks really good.
Lipstick: Pretty simple. The shade I got is probably a little too dark for everyday wear, but not quite bright enough for Rocky Horror.
After I got it all on, more or less, I fucked around a bit with GIS of cat makeup and such. Definitely need some liquid eyeliner.
Removal: The CVS makeup removing towelettes, which look pretty much like the CVS baby wipes, took most everything off. I'm pretty sure there's some bits of mascara remaining, but that will come off in tomorrow's shower.
Next: If I drop (at least) ten pounds, I can fit into the pants that complete my FURRY COLUMBIA costume. Stay tuned.
