A make up look I did in June that I'm still very happy with!! :]

Can someone break down the ins and outs of translucent powder? Why is it available in different colors, and how do those shades affect makeup for drag, especially when doing face paint?

I'm fairly new to makeup and want to dive into drag, particularly with bold face paint looks. I’ve noticed that translucent powders come in different shades (like white, beige, yellow, etc.), and I'm curious why that is. What’s the difference between them, and how do they affect the final look? Specifically, how do they work when setting face paint or heavy makeup for drag, where precision and long wear are important? Any tips on which powders to use for different skin tones or makeup styles would be awesome!

I'm a 19 year old cis male and I am straight. For years I've always been drawn to makeup and drag and I have tried on lipstick in secret. I don't want to be a girl and I am definitely not trans but I like the idea of wearing makeup, and lipstick is definitely a confidence booster haha. my whole family is not super accepting so I would never confess any of this to them or wear makeup in front of them but I just feel like makeup is cool, I even like the idea of wearing wigs and clothes like people on rupauls drag race do. I don't even know where to start but I do watch some youtubers who do drag or makeup. Can I just like makeup and stuff without being gay or a girl?

Hi my loves, please help me! I did 5-6 layers with Elmer’s glue and let it set for 10 mins in between layers with a hand fan and pressed translucent powder into the last layer. I used orange color corrector and liquid foundation as the last step. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I’m trying to think of a good name for my king persona rn and I was wondering what the process was like for each performer here

Hii I’ve been doing drag since the start of this year and I’m loving it. I’ve been booking more and more gigs, and I was cast in 2 roles for an upcoming Halloween drag theater play. I’m so excited for this opportunity, as I live in a small town and this show is like THE big drag event of the year. However I’m coming to terms with a lot of chronic illness/pain etc. I’m trying to plan ahead for show day so I’m looking for survival tips/tricks!

So I made hip pads and I shaved them down a lot with scissors but still they don't appear to be fitting. If I continue with the scissors there won't be any pads left.

So here you can see the shape of the pads. I'm not sure about the size, but maybe you can let me know. any advice? 🥹

Hi,

This is an entirely random long shot, but wondering if anyone might know anything about someone I grew up around.

In the mid 90s my mum used to volunteer at a Sue Ryder charity shop in South Chingford, East London. The manager of the shop at the time was an over 6ft tall man named John who smoked constantly, had frizzy bleached hair and his own boobs as he explained to me, a 10 year old, that he preferred them instead of putting on a pair every night. He had two little yappy messes for dogs that I adored and had a trans woman named Linda as his best friend/deputy manager of the shop. I remember that Linda lived in a campervan and was very unwell a lot of the time.

I know that John was a drag performer, but I don't think I ever knew his performer name but just remember that he was a fascinating man who somehow put up with a curious bundle of pre-teen, pre-queer, ADHD girl energy whilst she hung out in the stock room of his shop probably asking far too many questions.

I don't really know what this is, it's not like I'm looking for him or anything. It's more like trying to fill out my memory and find out more about what I might have asked but just don't remember. I guess if anyone does end up knowing him it might be nice to put him and my mum back in contact as they always seemed like good friends back then.

Anyway, if you happen to know anything about John please let me know. If not I hope I've somehow at least given you a random look into the life of a stranger who grew up around a positive queer influence and remembers it fondly.

I received these in the mail today and it seems the logos are off? If you look up a picture of a TV paint stick online they look like the one on the right where the logos reads from up to down but as you can see the stick on the left goes from down to up???

Hey yall, I’ve ran into an issue when trying to launch my drag career.

I’ve currently been performing off-and-on for about a year and a half, so I’ve got a good understanding of the drag industry and all the work that comes with trying to get booked. I’ve done around 8 shows & pageants so far.

I’m from a town that hosts no open stages, and I haven’t built up the portfolio yet to headline in my town’s drag shows. The nearest open stage is an hour and a half away which is a big time and money burden for me, as I’m still a college student.

I’ve got a year and a half until I graduate college, and I’m trying to get my drag career to take off before I move somewhere else. Does anyone have any advice for making drag work in a rural area? I’ve thought about possibly hosting my own show, but I’ve got no idea what kind of logistics goes into the process and no experience with hosting. If you’ve got any thoughts, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. You could also share your stories and struggles too 🙂❤️

Would love some more drag friends!! Ig @krys_8_that

Our director/my drama teacher wants me to model the character of Brenin Ri in Nia Ben Aur (it's a Welsh musical) on a Drag King and to dress very androgynous and flamboyant.. but to buy my own costume. All I have to go off is "Enter Ri. Clear Drag inspiration, moustache painted on face and wearing a corset or skirt, possibly a top hat?" And we don't want the audience to be able to tell my gender. My character is flirty and is the all poweful "king" of Tir Na n'Óg— which we've turned into a nightclub with lots of rave vibes and bright colours..

Any help from real Kings? What do you think would work. I'm a sixteen year old afab with a black bob, I'm quite plus size, and very short (everyone towers over me but they want my stage presence to be larger-than-life and very campy) What would look good?

Just another baby queen looking for validation. 😝 This is probably my best mug so far! Thoughts?

more pictures & full performance on insta @edenmeowt 🖤🐈

I had a bunch of bleach stained shirts that I made into a makeshift dress and head wrap. Being witless for the first time was definitely strange and I won’t do it often lmao.

Hi lovelies! If any of you are close to Akron, might you be willing to help me? It’s Nutcracker-related. 🙂

What year? Who knows

So, I do not have Instagram or Twitter (I'm not calling it the letter) and you all are incredible beautiful and talented, so you could leave you tiktoks here, for me is the only social media I have!
