I think the solution to both these problems is the same: a girlfriend, preferably a dancer or actress, someone with enough stageexperience to advise you intelligently. There are surely optionsother than pale or red, & she should be able to help you. Andshe can take you shopping for makeup as well (although it's myunderstanding that theatrical makeup & women's cosmetics are notthe same).
Unfortunately, I have no recommendations for your overtimeproblem. I hope, however that my answer to your first twoquestions will be of some help.
