Girls: What beauty tips do you give to other girls for Competions?

I recently decided to allow my normally very short nails to grow out. It didn't take much time and we had a week off from moe. When I returned I reliezed two things...they were going to so get broken when I worked with the machines and I could only imagine competion. Anyone else have long nails that get in the way? How do you keep them long? what other beauty tips do you have for us girls?

Nails + FIRST = No-no.

Especially if you're working on the robot. I had a set put on for prom in November and had them taken off (well, actually I wound up prying them off with my leatherman) the day before kick-off. Nails get in the way, and it's impossible to pick anything up with them!

If you're used to doing your make-up in the morning ... don't count on it at competitions. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm always so worn out at night (and so tired when I wake up in the morning!) that make-up doesn't even cross my mind ... and for me, make-up is only mascara and maybe a little eye-shadow.

Keep a hairtie handy in case you need to put your hair up! Especially if you are (again) working in the pits. If you don't have a hairtie, use a ziptie instead. It works, it's cute, and way geeky.

Heh. That's all I've got.

- Katie

... Did I just write "beauty tips" for FIRST girls??

hmmm.. lets see.... tips for chicks... eek...
after going to bed at 2 am when finishing up from scouting/strategizing work... I usually begin to arouse around 5 am to wash my freshly died blue hair... I try to remember to comb it..... put pants on.. brush teeth... put team shirt on... grab shoes and make it to the hotel dinning room just in time to have breakfast with my driving partner... put shoes on ... half an hour later short discussion with coach and human player.. run to catch the bus for the competition...

.. rule of thumb... if you are a real FIRST girl.... don't worry about it....

... ... ... well, this did just come from me.... so I wouldn't know how much a 'girly' girl should follow it....

Ouch, folks. While I agree this thread may be a tad vapid, I thought part of FIRST's great appeal was its ability to transcend stereotypes.

Maybe not.

Glitter...as long as you're not working on the bot and don't over do it! Besides I think if your (guys and girls) hair is long they're going to make you put it up in a bun, ponytail, or whatever for saftey reasons if you're going into the pit.

well, i'm not a girly-girl. i wear make-up once in a while (though it is fun sometimes). my major tip is: keep your nails painted. seriously! it strengthens and protects them, so that when the machine gauges your nails or you get something scratched off them by anything, it gets the polish, not your nail. it also makes it less tempting to peel those layer splits.
glitter is good, as is colored hairspray.
buns in your hair are golden, if you can do them. if not, ponytails or french (or german) braids work great.

yeah, i'm probably one of the last people to give fashion tips usually... but hey, it's fun.
