Jon checked out the compact. It seemed ordinary enough. No one would ever suspect that it was actually magic.
He sat on his bed, wondering if he should try it on or get someone else to. But after only a few seconds, he decided to use it himself. He already didn't want others to know about the stone (besides Karyn), so why would he want anyone to know about the compact or all the other magical items that were now in his possession? The less people that knew about it, the better.
He had never put on make-up before, but he had watched his mom do it more than once, so he had a fairly good idea of what he was doing. However, he wasn't sure what a "thicker than normal" amount was supposed to be. He didn't want to overdo it. According to the instructions, the consequences could be disastrous.
