Browsing through ladies' suits in hopes of finding a grey pencil skirt and blazer combo, close to Ariadne's outfit. What do I find? Gray pencil skirt and blazer combo.

Then I saw the price and said "Screw it, I can make that for about $30".

What the heck do you call low-riding shorts that were cut off until they only cover as much as a standardnote  or "cheeky" thong-backednote  bikini bottom, meaning they leave every part of the upper thighs (and maybe a bit higher) exposed? I keep seeing such "daisy dukes" a lot on Danbooru/Gelbooru, and can't figure out what to call them to distinguish them from your usual daisy dukes/hot pants, since both of those terms include short shorts with an inseam length of 2 inches or less.

And if you're going to ask, no, I won't post any examples; the NSFW site rule and all. Just go to Danbooru/Gelbooru, and search for 'kasumi_(pokemon)' or 'touko_(pokemon)' along with "short_shorts", and preferably "ass" (the tag denoting when the image involves particular focus on a character's buttocks); you'll see what I mean.

Real men dress in stye. While rather vague on the advice, this article does a wonderful job of imporving one's fashion vocabulary and raising awareness of style, in the suave manner we've come to expect of The Art Of Manliness (whose page Needs More Love, methinks).

I'm thinking about wearing makeup. Normally I don't wear any at all, but it could be fun. I also want moar cute clothes (like always) and longer hair.

If you're male, makeup, as in powder, might be a bad idea, but Guy Liner, while daring and extravagant, can be pulled off. Be sure to be otherwise sharp and stylish if you're going to perform that kind of peacokcing, though.

Are you looking for makeup tips or just remarking on something?

Just remarking, though makeup tips would be much appreciated, seeing as I'm kind of a first-timer. (I usually only wear it for plays.)

Oh, yes, stage makeup is wildly different.

Wash your face before applying makeup.

First off, a foundation. Liquid foundation is the lightest on your skin and easiest to put on. I'd be surprised if you used it onstage—it tends to melt off with sweat. You can usually ask for a test bottle to see if a shade will blend in with your skin. Put some on the inside of your forearm to check. Once you've got a good match, dab on a coat with a cotton ball and your skin will look that much smoother.

Lipstick is the next easiest in terms of application. Don't go for anything too dark (you've probably worn dark lipstick on stage), but don't go for anything lighter than your skin tone either. I'm not sure of your exact skintone, but generally a darkish pink or brown is a safe bet, and avoid cool colors like purples unless you know you look good in them. There are usually open tubes for testing, in which case you test them on the inside of your forearm too. If there aren't, most of them have clear caps. If your lips are dry you can apply a layer of balm before lipstick. Lip glosses are very messy, but they're also pretty fun. Same principle, but you can go a little darker since they're shiny.

Eyes are tricky at first. An eye pencil is good for starting out. For colors, just match it to your hair. Lightly shade in your eyebrows to make them stand out a little, which is the easy part. Then, you tilt your head up so your eyes are half-closed but still relaxed, and very lightly outline your upper eyelid, just above the lashes. Don't try your lower lid until your hand is steadier. If you make a mistake, wet some cotton and dab it off.

Blush and eyeshadow are a little harder to grasp, and you don't really need them in day-to-day wear.

Maintaining your makeup is mostly for lipstick and foundation, in which you dab some more on throughout the day. Wash your makeup off before you go to bed.

And that's it for now unless you have questions.

So, do you need to put foundation if you're gonna put on eye makeup?

Well, you don't need foundation if your skin is fairly clear of acne or blemishes. If you do use it, you put it on your whole face except the lips.

Anyone know good advice for shaving without making a mess of one's face?
