How I Became A Drag Queen

Eyebrows You would think that this doesn’t belong in the finishing touches section of a tutorial…and you would be right!!! I fucked up, and forgot to include eyebrows in the eyes post. Oh well, better late than never. Yes, eyebrows truly dazzle, and they are one of my favourite parts of my drag face because I like bitch brows. So much. A high, sharp arch and dark, harsh lines really bring the resting bitch face to the forefront, and when you combine it with my mountain peaks of lips, it’s a truly bitchy sight. The newest trend however is an ombre eyebrow.   This is where you fade your eyebrow into your face towards the bridge of your nose, avoiding harsh lines. You can also ombre the colour to make it darkest towards the outside of your face, and lightest towards the fade. In either case, start your eyebrows with a light colour to plan out the shape, either a light eyebrow pencil, or a powder eyeshadow. If you want a guideline for positioning of the start, end,...

Hello Queens!! This will be an interesting one, as I am not going to tell you what to do!!! I know!!! It's a shock, and I almost died 😲. I love being bossy!! But this is your chance to REALLY have fun with your makeup. There are a few hints I’ll give for people with eyes like mine, but honestly, there are so many ways to do eye makeup, so many techniques that I am only just learning, so many new techniques being introduced, that I couldn’t even begin to try to start an eye tutorial.   My advice: Play In the words of Trixie Mattel: “The eyes are the window to the hole”.   No lie. When that gorgeous man looks into my eyes across the dance floor he may as well already be there.  But seriously,  t he eyes take longer than any other part of your face, and are the easiest to mess up.   They are also the most important part of your face in terms of looking good in your makeup. If you mess up your eyes, you may as well just put it all away, unless your goal is...

Now for the fun part…the transformation!! Start by removing all stray hairs from around your eyebrows. They are pesky, and will show up through your makeup. This goes for not only your eyebrows, but any other hairs you may have on your face or body (if you’re putting makeup on your neck and chest, check your neck and chest). Proper eyebrow length and shaping guidelines. This image should (may) also be used as a guideline  for drawing on new eyebrows after erasing the face.  (photo from Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin) If you’ve never plucked your eyebrows before, here is a good rule. Grab a brush or pencil or some other straight long tool (insert dirty thoughts here) and make a line from the outside of each nostril to the corners of your eyes (picture on left). Where the line hits your eyebrow is where your eyebrow starts (1) or ends (3). You’ll notice this is also the ‘rule’ for drawing on new eyebrows, but we’ll get to that later. If you don’...
