Tips for beginners: Build your fan base before you host a show or “hit the big time” – your career will aount to nothing more then fundraisers and the occasional outing if you dont build a base.
Makeup:
- What is one beauty product you cant live without? Perfume.
- What products do you use? Ben-Nye and Kryolon. Covergirl does not Coverboy
- Is there a certain type of makeup drag queens should use? Whatever works. Just remember you are not a girl you need stage makeup of some kind.
- What makeup line do you recommend? Kryolon for base and MAC or Ben-NYE for everything else.
- How do you put on your make up? And are there special techniques to putting on makeup? Really fast. It only takes me about half an hour to get ready. I like simple. But it can take hours if you are detailed.
- What makeup would you recommend if I’m on a budget? Don’t’ do drag. Cheap Makeup is not acceptable in drag. I would say it’s about 100-150 to get someone set up with just the basics.
- What’s the worst makeup you’ve seen on a drag queen and why? Walgreens basics. Girls who try to look fishy on stage.
Hair:
- Do you wear a wig, extension or real hair? Wigs full – no extensions.
- How do you style it and does it change each show? Ehh I usually only wear one wig each show.
- How do you take care of your hair? I wash after ever show. I usually wear short wigs. They get stinky and yes people can smell them.
- What products do you use? Just good old, Aqua Net.
- Where is the cheapest place to get a wig? I like the Grand Mart on 35th and Camelback.
- Any recommendation for a good hairstylist? There are a million in town and in the drag community…most importantly learn on your own. It gets expensive if someone else does it.
Shave or Wax:
- Should you shave or wax? And why? That’s up to you. I shave. Because waxing hurts.
- If they shave, are there special techniques? Nopers. Also Osider Nair.
- What should drag queens shave/wax and why? Any place you are putting tape, or that is exposed to the general public without coverage
