Couldn't they look for another make-up person???

I don't think it was because they had gone crazy. How could they explain to those other people the fact that they were a pair of living, walking corpses? Ernest was already in the know, and if they had gotten him to drink the potion, he would have been bound by the same secrecy.

They had been warned not to tell anyone about the magic potion and its effects and Ernest only knows because he saw both women die and then come back to life. Isabella is scary so they wouldn't want to go back on their promise to tell noone. Also, they are now a bit crazy and their need to cover up the fact that they are dead, look dead and want to remain young and beautiful (when he makes thme up) that they want him to do it (a man they previously fought over).

The entire makeup/spray paint thing is a tad silly and just for comedic effect I suppose. All of the other people in the "secret society" were able to look fine and dance around with no issues but Madeline and Helen have these constant problems? You'd think they'd just allow themselves to go pale and then get spray tans and wear a little regular makeup.

That's because Madeline and Helen had both 'died'
after
taking the potion. The other people in Lisle's 'secret society' had all taken the potion, yes, but we don't know if they all died, if that makes sense. If Madeline hadn't been pushed down the stairs or if Helen hadn't been shot, they wouldn't have needed the spray paint and make-up.

Not so sure that spray tan was quite so ubiquitous in '92. I'd never heard of it until the Dance reality shows came to be (DWTS & SYTYCD). The surgeon/mortician pointed out that make-up didn't look natural on dead skin (have you ever been to an open casket funeral?).

I can just see that Monster.com ad.
