Skincare
The makeup techniques that drag queen
use are not too different than what we
are used to in everyday life. The majority
of drag impersonators are male although
there are also female queens. Some shave
off their facial (or body) hair, although
many choose not to and that’s OK!
They often perform every night, 6 nights
a week, so washing your face thorough-
ly after each performance is critical to
maintaining good skin condition, avoiding
break-outs.
The cheekbones are extremely high – use a very
pigmented bright, gold or pink, highlighter.
To create this illusion, apply deep shadows under
the cheekbone using much darker than your skin
tone brown contour.

Makeup
When it comes to the makeup, the features
are vastly exaggerated.
The foundation is almost white in order to
create a blank canvas to re-create a female
face.
Next step is usually shaping the eye brows
– they can look natural or not so natural,
but usually placed much higher than nor-
mally.
