Great! Okay, do you want to do it for yourself or for somebody else? It's basically the same sort of thing either way, but I think it's easier to do on somebody else.
Well, I'm sure he's got a reason. We'll have you test it out on me.
First you start with clean skin. So you can use a make up cloth or just wash your face beforehand. [But she'll reach for a wipe, using it to clean her skin.]
Then you want to moisturize with a lotion. Wait about five minutes before going on to the next step. You want it to sink into the skin, and that won't happen if you rush it. It doesn't look like there's any here, so you can skip that.
Dab the foundation onto your skin. [She'll point out the places to do it, her forehead, her cheeks, the bridge of her nose and her chin. Rebecca stays perfectly still, letting Cardia apply it.]
Don't worry too much. Your skin's nice enough you'd never have to worry about it.
[But Rebecca will go through each little step of make up, explaining how to use each different kind. She's surprisingly patient through all of this, correcting Cardia whenever she's off course.]

I promised Akechi-- well, no, he strongly insisted that I try it on him.

Is he trying to nab a prince charming for himself?
Alright, here, I'll sit down and talk you through make up 101.
[She'll take a seat near a mirror and motion Cardia over.]

Got it so far?

Yes, I... think so. Am I meant to rub it in immediately?
[ because Rebecca just looks weird like this. ]

Like this? It doesn't hurt, does it?

Okay, so after that, you might want to use concealer to cover up any like dark shadows under their eyes.
[She'll tap on the concealer.] Just use a little bit and blend it.
Then use setting powder to keep all the makeup from smudging. Those are the basics of make up.
