For the Cosplayers on my F-list

Make-up: how do you get good at it? Just practice? Or is there some sort of great secret I should know? Because I like to think my sewing skills are pretty good, but my inability to style hair or apply make-up makes most of the photos look varying amounts of 'average' to 'fail'.

Yeah, I need to get some better foundation - the one I have looks good in some lighting, but gets a bit zombie-shiny-white sometimes (http://www.tokyo-tower.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2836). I hadn't thought of using eyeliner on the guys - I'm always afraid of my eyes looking too huge white girl as-is. Experimentation time! And that tutorial is very in-depth - probably good for the more feminine characters, though.
