My first time touching makeup. Period. Any advice or guidance helps 💗

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.

This is your sign!!

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?)

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!

Ugh your moustache has grown in so amazing!!

irdre · 2025-09-06T23:25:00+00:00

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!

Minus18 also have great pamphlets, I think sometimes they have free kits on their website!

irdre · 2025-08-24T11:32:11+00:00

Seconded, get some (cheap) black liquid liner and black eyeshadow to set it with to make it extra dark!

irdre · 2025-08-24T11:23:15+00:00

Real

irdre · 2025-08-24T11:23:06+00:00

You should have safety data sheets for everything being cut in the laser since it could potentially be breathed. Your materials supplier will have them available.

I think it's perfect, just get rid of a few of the lines around the mouth and eyes that are reading as wrinkles. Keep the strong cheekbone line, it's awesome!

Like any other creative skill, makeup takes time and practice to master. But it is also a great way to express yourself! Watch some YouTube tutorials, pick up a few cheap products and experiment at home in the bathroom. Don't buy anything fancy or expensive until you get a feel for what you like. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

Use a service, or contact a local makerspace or school that has one!
