It's probably too early for anyone to actually read this but I am attempting to put on my Halloween costume and everything that goes with it so that I can wear it to cross country practice and get candy! The problem is, I don't know how to apply makecup... I took a lesson in theatre tech two years back but we kinda had to skip around to the different things one does and we didn't have time to really go into detail on anything. Makeup was just a three day lesson on where to put highlights and (I think) contour lines on the face, and how to make a convincing bruise. Not about how to put on Halloween makeup to make you look like an insomniac. So, wish me luck! XDX

The easiest way I can think of to make you look like an insomniac is to apply dark eye shadow under your eyes. Don't over do it, but put enough on there so people can see it.

If you have too much shading on, you could apply more of the highlight color to cover it up. The closer you put it to your eye, the smaller the circle will become.

I don't know what kind of makeup you are using, but Greasepaint is fussy and requires a lot of touch ups because it really does smudge. It holds up decently enough under bright stage lights, but I wouldn't expect it to look so nice after cross country. Be prepared to keep your kit with you at all times!

Thank you! I appreciate all of the tips but all I really used was this little crayon thing I managed to grab yesterday just before the store closed.

I did bring the makeup with me to do little touch ups when needed, which was a few times, since I'm not used to not being able to touch my face or hair.

Expendable money? As in money to use in buying more supplies?

Heh, thanks. XD

That is exactly what I mean!

Because your character is really pale anyway, stopping by your local Mart/ drugstore/ party store and picking up a paint kit shouldn't hurt your look. With pale paints, you can then hide the excess crayon and reduce the need for quite so many touchups :)
