The Distaff Counterpart of the Lock-and-Load Montage. The heroine puts on her makeup and clothes while preparing for the Big Event. The key to the trope is that she applies her makeup with the same speed and seriousness as a soldier loading their guns—she's all business, and her business at the moment is looking good. May count as Mundane Made Awesome. Often juxtaposed with a standard Lock-and-Load Montage. A Femme Fatale and/or an Action Girl might even do both simultaneously. The rare examples of a man doing this tend to be Played for Laughs. Alternately, a male Badass in a Nice Suit might be getting ready for business while making sure he looks as sharp as possible, but this doesn't usually involve makeup. Compare This Means Warpaint and Makeover Montage. |

Angel. Gunn asks what type of equipment they'd need to burgle an auction house. Angel suggests repelling hooks, flashlights, aerosol spray — all against a montage of these items being prepared. Lockpicking tools, rope, a knife, and...lipstick? Turns out it's a female Classy Cat-Burglar who's after the MacGuffin as well. | |

During the "Linkara Lost" arc of Atop the Fourth Wall, Linkara's real-life girlfriend Iron Liz replaces him for an episode. We see her suiting up in a near shot-for-shot remake of Linkara's own Lock-and-Load Montage... save for one shot of her applying lipstick. | |

In the montage where Bridget Jones prepares to impress her boss Daniel at the upcoming book launch, she does the following: brushes up on conversational skills, studies up on current events, shave and wax, uses a body brush, rolls up her hair, picks out a sleek black dress and weighs the options between a control-top panty and a thong before deciding on the former. The sequel has a montage that includes more Fashion Hurts and the inclusions of such tropes as Of Corset Hurts in addition to a haircut that has to be ravaged by the damage done by a deluded hairdresser. | |

Parodied in Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure. When we first see Captain Rose, we see her glitzing herself up so she can look her best while defeating the Sea Rabbits. At one point she puts on her signature lipstick... and then puts some on her cheek to make it look like Tribal Face Paint. | |

In Book XIV of The Iliad, Hera embarks on a long dress-up scene with lots of ambrosia and fancy clothes in preparation to distract Zeus from manipulating the outcome of a battle. Classicists have described it as an "arming scene" analogous to those of the mortal warriors like Achilles. | |

Subverted in Caliphate. There is a scene with Lee-as-Ling putting on his make-up before going to work vamping the Boer guards. Agent Matheson is seriously bothered, because he is so obviously enjoying himself playing the part of the wicked seductress. | |

The finale of season 6 of Game of Thrones opens with assorted characters getting dressed in preparation for the trial of Loras Tyrell and Cersei Lannister with a sharp contrast between the elaborate clothes of the nobility and the old sack worn by the High Sparrow. The montage lingers on Cersei for longer than the others as she is fitted in a new black leather and chains number because she is about to have them all killed by blowing up the Sept of Baelor where the trial is taking place. | |

Scorpio Rising: A gay male Spear Counterpart of this trope. The film shows a young biker getting dressed up in all his biker gear—boots, leather jacket, leather gloves, mirrored sunglasses, Nazi cap, the whole works—before going out to meet his friends at a party. It's possibly the Ur-Example of the Leatherman, and the whole sequence is made even more homoerotic by intercutting the shots of the young man getting dressed with shots of a much bigger, massively muscled biker wearing a leather jacket over a bare chest. | |

In the Daughters of the Moon series (at least in the first two), before the big showdown against the Atrox, there's a sequence of the main character putting on beautiful clothes and makeup — but rather justified in the first, Goddess of the Night, because the character 1. Is going to a club, and oughta look good anyway, and 2. Describes it as battle paint — the psychological preparation is as important as anything else. | |
