Okay, so the important question is: Just how long has Sasaki secretly been hoping for a mission that involved elaborate disguises or crossdressing?

Even though we know that Kaneki learns quickly from what he reads, doing makeup is still a physical skill that requires long-term practice. Comparing it to drawing or painting is appropriate, since it involves the same kind of hand-eye coordination and muscle memory. There's no way he learned to make himself up that well in a few days. Lipstick is easy, but eye makeup requires a lot of practice to do right.
