If you're going to dye your hair, do it first. Wash-out dye will drip off with sweat, so if you're going to be dancing, you might want to go with temporary that'll come out in a few washings.
Makeup: Put on any black clothing other than pants before starting unless you want to get white streaks on it. It's important to roll up your sleeves. Start with a base coat of white makeup. Use the kind that you have to apply with a sponge, it'll go on cleaner and more evenly. Use a dry sponge and don't pick up any more than you need to. It'll take a bit longer, but you'll get a much more even coat Don't get it on your eyelids, make sure you get your neck and ears. Next, using eyeshadow, apply a generous amount to your eye sockets and eyelids (A femal friend of mine in high school used hypoallergenic lipstick instead of eyeliner; it was moisture resistant and went on much easier.) If you want an added touch, use mascara or liquid eyeliner to draw in the vertical lines above and below your eyes. Make sure to use black eyeliner along the edges of your eyelids (apply with eyes closed!) Second to last, apply a nice coat of black, waterproof lipstick, press your lips together and slide them back and forth a bit to make sure it's evenly applied. Finally, add any fake or real piercings you want to use, and touch up the white makeup where you accidentally rubbed it off while doing the rest of the stuff. Any artistic touches you want to add can be done right on top of the white coat after it dries with an eyeliner pencil.
