Face.

The first step in doing drag is getting everything you will need for a transformation, creating the illusion is not easy and it takes a lot of practice. I made a youtube video that is a sped up version of me applying make up. In the video I specify that I would not be giving step by step instructions in the video, however. Today I will be writing the steps in this blog entry to give a better understanding as to what is happening. Some of the steps are not necessary for everyone's face when attempting to take on new techniques. Specifically I use a glue stick to glue down my eyebrows and most drag queens do that, but I use the same glue stick and I paste down my side burns and the natural hair line to the left and right side of my face above my side burns. What that does is open up my face more, so when I draw on my eyebrows they are actually being drawn over my hair.


The first thing, is that I talk for about 2:30 where I thank all of the people who view my channel on youtube and comment and send feedback.

I cover my eyebrows and sideburns with the glue stick and then dry them with a hair dryer. I then take a panstick foundation and blend it in with a foundation sponge. Then I use a combinational press powder and press and powder it into my face to prevent the foundation from looking greasy, it prevents facial lines from appearing, and helps cover more.
Then I draw on the eyebrows, contour, and draw on my lips.
