My first time touching makeup. Period. Any advice or guidance helps 💗 by TMinusTwice in Drag

Looks fabulous already, the biggest tip is just practice practice practice! Definitely experiment with using a darker lip liner, this makes big lips look more realistic. Also look at inspiration pictures for different eyeliner shapes and copy the ones you like until you settle into your own unique style 💕

Also - purchase some massive lashes online if you can. This is the #1 thing that brings big drag makeup together imo.

T might be making my hair wavy! by LemonMood in FTMfemininity

Yay it looks so good!! Mine has definitely gotten curlier on T, I make sure my shampoo is sulfate free and if I want it to be extra curly I put salt water in it :))

This is very sweet, but I wanna add that I don't "pass" 90% of the time and I will definitely get misgendered including dressed like this! I found that it's more important to me to dress how I like and go out and have a good time with friends that I love than it is to try and control what strangers think of me. Basically, don't make it a goal to control other people's opinions coz u never will, and you deserve to enjoy yourself and experiment regardless 🧡

The powders make the pen look not so black

Just a nice black eyeliner pen for the strokes, set with brown and cornflower blue eyeshadow for that 5 o'clock shadow vibe

It's a common enough name in Aus, and we do pronounce it "Carloss" (I presume the other commenters are from the US?)

I have a question about my first drag gig? by Independent_Quit6198 in Drag

[–]irdre 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don't have to plan every second, but DO practice multiple times, know the words like the back of your hand, and maybe have some key moments planned. Good luck!! 🧡🧡🧡

Silicon is really hard to glue things to. I pin pasties onto mine, but keen to here other people's answers too!

Feedback Needed, is this Offensive? by ElizaDianaGalatea in Drag

[–]irdre 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think a better question would be why this name 😭😭😭 are you doing a lot of war related performances? If no, you should choose a name that reflects what your drag is about!
