#DRAG MAKEUP FULL#

Drag queens in drag makeup and clothing Drag Makeup Kit – what do you need?ĭrag is a performance. I want to know how it began, what is Drag Runway, who is RuPaul (TIME magazine 2017) and much more because in my heart I am a history buff! As much as I love my Science world I also love History and there is a huge deep dark history to drag (and drag makeup) which is overflowing in the form of sweet ‘tea’. Drag has become more than just about hair, clothes or makeup it has become about sexuality – not necessarily controversial but something I want to explore. Warren on Instagramĭrag is a complicated word that started out as slang used in the theatre and today is associated with the LGBTQ+ community. He creates looks for us on the regular and he calls me “Momma Bear” – in my heart I have so much respect and gratitude for him that this post is dedicated to Warren for – well for just being himself. Warren has supported us since we started Glamore Cosmetics and I consider him ‘Familia’. Kat Von D created an eyeshadow palette inspired by Divine, 30 years after the queen passed away.Drag Makeup – was introduced to me by one of my favorite influencers on Instagram aka and so in this post, I will be showing a lot of the looks he has created and also telling his ‘story’. Sugarpill, a vendor at DragCon and popular brand among queens, has collaborated with other Drag Race alums like Trixie Mattel and Kim Chi. Drag Race season 9 winner Sasha Velour took the reigns at Opening Ceremony’s Spring 2019 show, which collaborated with Maybelline on drag-inspired makeup looks paying homage to icons like Lady Bunny and Divine. Miss Fame, a Drag Race contestant from season seven, just launched a namesake beauty line in September. This shift signals a more symbiotic relationship between the drag world and the beauty world-and it’s evident in the way more queens are landing beauty deals and launching their own makeup projects. It includes shades with names like “Wig” and “Tea,” words plucked from the drag vernacular. Meanwhile, Charles-who has called himself a “ HUGE” fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race-recently launched his “ Sister Collection” eyeshadow palette with Morphe. Gutierrez’s Lunar Beauty palette was called “Life’s a Drag” to pay homage to his drag influences. Manny Gutierrez, Maybelline’s first male face, and James Charles, CoverGirl’s first male face, have both become so influential they’ve launched makeup collaborations as well. Patrick Starrr, who has over four million subscribers on YouTube and multiple M.A.C collaborations under his belt, got his start making drag tutorials.

While ‘90s media briefly embraced drag queens in movies ( Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Paris Is Burning), talk shows ( Arsenio Hall, Sally, Geraldo Rivera), and beyond (RuPaul’s cameo in The B-52’s “Love Shack” music video, RuPaul and M.A.C's Viva Glam campaign), the community was still largely in its own bubble. New York City was an incubator for the scene: Uptown, Harlem ballroom culture (which dates back as early as the 1920s) thrived, providing a space for more Black and Latino performers downtown, queens were booking hot spots like Pyramid, Limelight, and Tunnel. “It was the first time that I truly felt celebrated, accepted, admired, and it gave me the confidence and the courage that I felt like I'd always lacked,” he recalls, “Because of drag, now I feel like even oozed on out into my personal life.”įor decades, drag was a subculture only found when sought.
