I'M DRESSED UP AND READY TO CRASH THE PARTY! ... Oh wait, everyone moved to the military thing now, I'm too late.

(Mostly I just wanted to try the new wig. I really like the blonde look.
Now if I only hadn't given myself raccoon eyes with this eyeshadow palette I haven't the slightest clue how to use. Also trying out new foundation, didn't cover beard shadow as well despite a much closer shave than last time I posted a picture.)
Nope, not too late. The military thing was about the party, (tear and CS gas,)
Regarding makeup, 2 things: Since facial hair shadow has a bluish tint, use a red concealer to hide it more, before applying foundation. The important things with foundation are to make sure it doesn't irritate your skin, matches your skin tone, and provides full, yet natural looking coverage in one light coat. For those of us with beard hair, better to air on the darker shade side, so as to reduce any contrast that would make beard hair shadow more visible.
As to the eyes, the brighter/more vibrant shade (whites, greens, and blues) generally gets applied first, between the crease and the edge of the eye. Use anything related to red (browns, pinks, reds, orange, purple,) that works with your skin tone on the area from the crease to the brow. A light dusting with either powder foundation or a natural skin tone eyeshadow over both areas followed by a gentle wipe with a cotton ball or makeup pad will subdue the difference, reducing the racoon effect. Another way to reduce this effect is to add eyeliner, but only on the edge of the lower lid, followed by mascara on both top and bottom lashes. This helps frame the eye itself, while drawing attention upwards with the lighter tones/lack of eyeliner. The pic you just posted doesn't seem to have much of a raccoon eye effect. Perhaps you were being overly critical? Hope this helps.
HUGS!
