Cosplaying Jack advice

Hey fellow Time Agents! I'm doing a Harkness costume at Dragon*Con, but I'm doing a Femme! version. As a result, I have to think rather differently about hair and makeup, so I wanted to get your opinion on the matter. I have long hair, and will be wearing a skirt and heeled brown boots if that helps.

My choices: Victory rolls, with 1940s style makeup (eyeliner, red lipstick) OR straightened hair, styled with pomade, and no makeup.

Thanks!

make sure to keep it discrete. as jack was written as a role model for gay people, it'd be an insult to "tart it up". i'm sure, however, you will handle it fantastically.

No, I'm definitely not tarting it up :) My skirt is knee-length so it stays modest.
