  3. put mascara or eyeliner on; smear it to give it a realistic caught in the rain look
  4. carry an inside-out broken umbrella for a more convincing effect

If you are going to a Halloween party, parade, or Trick-or-Treating with another person, one could be Caught in the Rain and the other, the Weather Report (see #5 below).
