Equip It! The Geek Glamour You Need In Your Life!
With all the booming new stores on this little thing called the internet, it can be difficult to sort through all the possibilities for purchase. So let Geekscape be your guide. In the traditions of old, we’ll help you figure out what to take to make it a little less dangerous.
I spy with my little eye… something geeky. It must be Espionage Cosmetics. As their lineage page states, Espionage is the “brainchild of a certified MUD professional make-up artist and a gun-totin’ smokin’ hot Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps”. That’s a lot of badass right there to go with the sparkle. That should let you know that it’s perfectly okay to wear that flashy color, no matter your job. Unless you’re an actual spy. Then you probably want to be slightly more subtle. Or maybe you don’t. What do I know? There’s a spy themed set, so I suppose you can run wild, all you international information gatherers, you.
Espionage currently has 10 different geeky color sets, from “ice and fire” to “fps”, as well as prepared looks to peruse. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to wear something called “headshot”? If you don’t, send it my way (just not with a sniper rifle; I kind of need my head to, you know, wear the make-up). For the moment, all of the sets of four run at the medium range price of $28, somewhere in-between what you might find in other stores, depending on brand.
Right now — or, at least, for the next 24 hours — Espionage is also running a Kickstarter for its new line of wrap-on nail art; lucky for us, also in the geeky mindset. Having more than doubled its original goal, this Kickstarter is offering tremendous stretch goal prizes to anyone donating in the $100 racket or above, so this is the perfect time to sneak in there and get some beautiful Time Lord or Firefly art for your fingernails: it’ll spice up any cosplay, or just any day in general. Consummate professionals, the great minds behind Espionage have provided a themely video on how easy it is to apply their special brand of nail-art:

As it is, my lovelies, I haven’t gotten my hand — or fingernails, or eyeballs — on a set of this brand yet so there’s no personal review, but when I do you’ll be the first to know. Or, if you partake, please let us know in the comments section what you think and how the experience went!
Why You Need This: Because you want to feel geeky, oh so geeky, and be pretty while doing so. Or is it the other way around? Nevermind. The perfect fusion of femininity with geek-itude should easily convince any glam geek who’s into the make-up arts that Espionage Cosmetics has the right credentials for the job.
So, go forth and stay geeky, super spies!
