In starting your convincing drag makeup appearance, you have to know that there are important things to be concerned about besides just putting on the makeup.  One of these things is hair removal. Yes, even a little bit of stubble will give away your look that you worked so hard to achieve. So, do what you can to create smooth and soft skin. Your face is your canvas so you want to make it as perfect as possible and make your drag look as convincing as you can.

Now false eyelashes are what you want for drag because they have a very dramatic look as compared to typical mascara. They also last a long time as you go out for a night on the town.  So you want to buy quality false eyelashes rather than just getting mascara. You can certainly use both of them.

The next thing you want to know about is foundations and concealers. Buying orange hued lipstick and beard concealer is real important. They have an effect of evening out your skin and masking the tell tale hints of male facial hair that you normally have on your face. Lots of drag makeup artists use the beard concealer and most will agree that it is a must have for drag makeup.

You don’t want to use your fingers while applying the foundation. You can mess up and get an ugly looking breakout. Then you will have to start all over with makeup skincare to get to the point that you were already at. It’s best to take your time. Use caution. Have disposable sponges, clean brushes, and other tools you will find in the cosmetic store to really do a good job.

After the application of the concealer and the foundation, the next step is to apply eye makeup. If you search around, there are really dozens of nice looks and choosing the right one for your personal drag makeup is up to you.

The last step for you is perfecting you lips. Eight-hour lip stains are very popular.  They allow you to skip using a lip liner and the look lasts longer. You can also use a lip plumper in some gorgeous colors.
