Article: You can choose a t-shirt, polo, or button-up, depending on the style you prefer. If it's cool outside, wearing a jacket can add an extra layer of disguise. Accessorizing your look with a hat and sunglasses will make it harder for people to see through your disguise. If you typically carry a purse, switch to a backpack or man's wallet. A sports bra is a safe way to minimize your chest without accidentally damaging your breast tissue. However, you may still have a visible chest, especially if you're curvy. If this is the case, you might try wearing baggier clothing or a jacket to make your chest less visible. Don't feel pressured to wear anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Some boys have bigger chests, so don't worry if your breasts are noticeable. Short hair is stereotypical for boys, so creating a shorter style will give people one less thing to question about your disguise. You could also wear a longer style, as many boys do. As another option, you can cover your hair with a hat, if you like. If you don't want to cut your long hair but want a shorter style, you can make your hair look short by tying it back and wearing a hat. Simply create a deep part to the side, then slick your hair down and put it in a low ponytail. Next, wrap the length of your ponytail into a tight bun. Wear a hat to cover the bun. As another option, wear a short wig to change up your hairstyle. Apply a foundation that matches your normal skin tone. Then, make short strokes with an eyebrow pencil to change the shape of your natural eyebrows so they appear larger. Next, dip a porous makeup sponge, called a stipple sponge, into black and brown face paint and blot it onto your jawline and upper lip to create a beard and mustache. Finally, rub a foundation darker than your skin color around your eyes to make them look more deep-set. Use an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of your brows. If you have light-color hair and won't be wearing a wig, you might decide to use yellow and brown face paint to create your beard and mustache. You want to use at least 2 shades for your beard and mustache because they're typically more than one color. If you're too young to have a beard and mustache, skip this step and avoid wearing makeup, instead. Although some boys love wearing nail polish, it's more common for them to keep their nails unpolished. That means your disguise may be more convincing if you skip the nail polish. Gender norms are changing, so more and more boys are sporting nail polish. Don't worry about taking off your nail polish if you like the way it looks with your boy disguise. Although this step is optional, using men's cologne will make people associate your smell with a male. Choose a scent that you like, and spritz a light mist onto your neck or wrists. Rather than buying a bottle of cologne just for your disguise, try borrowing one. Alternatively, get a sample from a store like Sephora.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Opt for skinny jeans or baggy pants with a man's shirt for clothing. Wear a sports bra if you want to hide your chest. Style your hair short or create a longer boyish hairstyle. Use stage makeup to look more like a boy if you want to enhance your disguise. Cut your fingernails short and keep them polish free, if you like. Wear cologne so you smell more like a boy.
Article: If your core is round or has an irregular surface, you'll need to strike it with a hammerstone to create a relatively flat "platform" to start with. The stone will fracture at roughly a 50 angle from the direction of impact, so for a round rock you'll want to tilt the core to about 40 and strike straight downward. The platform must be next to a side that narrows inward. You won't be able to use any side that bulges outward from the platform, or goes straight down at a 90 angle. If you are using a core, once you have a flat platform, use your hammerstone or billet to strike off flakes, or thin, relatively flat pieces you can turn into tools. Always remember that the stone fractures at a 50 from the point of impact. To use this to your advantage, tilt the core so the platform is at a 40 angle from the vertical. Strike the lower end of the platform with the tool, hitting it with a glancing blow that carries on past the point. You may need to repeat this several times around the platform, until you get a piece that is mostly flat, and a fair amount larger than the tool you want to make. If the material splits into three pieces, or the platform crumbles around the blow, the angle is probably too small (the blow is too direct). If you're only getting tiny chips, the angle is probably too large (the blow is too glancing). Unless you were lucky enough to get a perfect triangular or rectangular flake, you'll probably need to break it further. Do this using the same direct percussion technique, until you have a piece a bit larger than what you want to end up with, and with no concave "bites" taken out of the edge. Abrading is one of the most important processes in flint knapping. A newly struck flake typically has thin, fragile areas around the edge, which need to be ground down to a dull, thicker edge so it can withstand the impact of the tool. To accomplish this, grind the edge of your flake in a sawing motion against another flattish sort of stone of slightly lesser hardness. Old grinding wheels work well for this, or any smooth hunk of limestone. If grooves appear in the tool you are grinding with, this is a good sign, since it means the tool is softer than the flake. Once the fragile edges have chipped off or been ground down, you'll have a dependable platform able to take the extreme rigors of lithic engineering.

Create a flat platform on the core (if necessary). Use direct percussion to create flakes (if necessary). Trim the flake shape. Abrade the edge of the flake.
