How to do Drag Queen Makeup Right?

It is essential to maintain a skin regime. This helps in keeping the face looking smooth and healthy. Applying the makeup directly on the skin that is dull and dry will not give the desired look. It is not the right way to do drag queen makeup.
Using false eyelashes is always included in drag queen makeup. This helps in giving a feminine touch to the face. When you apply the false eyelashes to the natural lashes, make sure that you set the glue for at least 15 to 20 minutes before you place them on your natural lashes. Once you have placed them, use liquid eyeliner of a reputed brand to secure the lashes and to seal them properly in place.
Contouring is a must in drag queen makeup. This helps in creating an illusion of a slim look to the face. With the help of contouring, you can accentuate your cheekbones and jaw line. This brings a sexy definition to your whole personality.
Choose the right concealer for your face. It should be able to cover all blemishes, marks, spots, lines, wrinkles and the work. To cover your dark circles, you can choose orange concealer. Use yellow concealer to hide yellow and white heads or spots on the skin. Green concealer is best for concealing red marks on the skin.
Your brow bones also require some shine and shimmer. The best thing to do is to use a shimmer powder or a light cocealer.
Instead of using glitter, you can use shimmer powder. This powder is also useful for setting the lip gloss, for contouring and to create accentuated highlighting.
Blending is very important9n this makeup. If blending is not done in the right way, it can make you look like a mess. Use the right mekaup tools and the right techniques to get the perfect look.
Make sure that you pout your lips. For getting the pout, you have to apply lipstick on the centre of your lips and then blend it outwards. Then you can apply a shade of your favourite lip gloss and your lip makeup is reedy.
Dab some translucent powder to set the look.
for the eye makeup, you can use mascara of a reputed brand to get thick lashes if you are against using false eyelashes.
