Neo-Stoicism is a syncretic movement, combining a revival of Stoicism with Christianity, founded by the Belgian Humanist Justus Lipsius (1547 - 1606). It is a practical philosophy which holds that the basic rule of good life is that one should not yield to the passions (greed, joy, fear and sorrow), but submit to God.
Powder coatings have been applied successfully over chrome plating for many years. I recommend that you first neutralize the surface and remove any salts from the plating system by first rinsing the parts in virgin DI water. Of course, don't forget to dry the parts before powder coating.
Instead of layering my contour overtop of my powder where it can look really dramatic, I apply my primer, foundation and concealer, then my contour, then the powder overtop. Alle on the left is wearing contour atop her powder. Alle on the right is wearing the same amount of contour with her powder on top. This softens the color and prevents it from looking too dark, which is sometimes what you want. This is also a really good way to turn the volume down on matte bronzer--which may be relevant to your summer interests.
