Hey girlies and gay guys! Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while, I’ve been a little out of it. But I was lucky enough to interview a drag queen name Tatum Michelle (heres a link to her fan page: http://www.facebook.com/TatumMichelle) whose part of The Arizona Gender Outlaws. I spent about three hours backstage with her and watched her get ready and I promise I will post up some of her videos on how to apply drag makeup (its an amazing process btw). But for now, I’m going to post a short interview that I did with her about makeup recommendations for new queens. I promise you that there will be more up soon.
Cosmetics to use if you’re on a budget:
-“If you’re on a budget for drag, La Femme is really good. Ben-Nye is cheap and good quality. La Femme is about $4 and it usually last a while too.”
-Glue is always essential too, how else you gonna get those amazing eyebrows. Tatum and every other drag queen that I’ve encountered, all use regular old Elmers glue to get the best results.
Cosmetics for a non-budget:
-“MAC is great. I recommend it to everyone once you get really involved (in drag), because its amazing quality and you only have to use a little bit and it goes a long way.
Tip: If you are going to be a drag queen, then you must have a makeup case. Most queens have a regular case you can find at Ulta, Sephora or Sally’s Beauty Supplies. But Tatum recommends buying a tackle box because it sturdier and you have more compartments.
