Dear Esmeralda,
I am an aspiring drag queen and would love some makeup tips! Since you seem to know what you’re doing anything you’d care to share? Thanks in advance!

Dear Made up in Makeup,
HAHAHA! I literally know nothing much … just like Jon Snow! I usually go with the “mess-around with-it-until-it-looks-good” approach.
What I can say is this: colors matching your skin tone are important. As I started my performance career on stage I did my foundation a couple shades darker than my skin tone. Make sure you hit your neck and get a good even coating. Also, if you’re showing some body-ody, blend the color down to your neckline.
As for colors for eyeshadow and lipstick, there is literally no color drag queens can’t wear. Go crazy with it!! Fuschia and lime? Heck yeah! Mauve and taupe? Sure! Have fun with it!
Another pro-tip: don’t buy fancy makeup to start. Walmart brand works just as well! If you’re looking for a more serious tutorial on different makeup things check out my drag sister’s makeup channel: Fabulex Makeup. She knows makeup better than anyone! The best thing you can do is experiment and find your own style! Get it, girl! Hope to see you beating your face and serving fish!
XOXO
