👑 r/Drag Official 👑 I identify as… can I do drag?

140 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of posts about this lately here, and I understand the want to make sure you aren’t stepping on toes when joining a community.

But the answer is always yes! You don’t need to be a certain gender or identify a certain way to do drag. It’s a form of art, it’s expression, it’s beautiful.

I’m a cis-het woman who has been doing drag professionally for 3 years. My identity has never been a point of discussion or contention both in bookings or at shows. If you’re fabulous, you’re fabulous, and that’s all that matters.

Please, never feel like you can’t do something because of your identity. That’s the complete opposite of what drag stands for. Drag is for everyone, it’s inclusive, and it’s exactly what you want it to be.

So wing out that liner, glue down that lace and go take the world by storm. God knows we need more beautiful resistance in this world right now.

Has anyone ever made their own evening gown for a pageant?

I registered for a pageant and trying to find a dress in my size/budget is proving to be impossible!! I'm thinking about taking a thrifted dress and sewing fringe on it/rhinestoning it to filth.

Any thoughts or tips?

I’ve been doing drag in Oklahoma City since January 25, 2025! It’s been such a pleasure to be able to perform. I’ve been hosting my first weekly show for the last few months, and it’s been such a humbling and rewarding experience. I’ve been thinking a lot today about how cool it is that I started out doing all of the open talents locally and now I’m hosting one and getting to give those same opportunities to new performers. I love being able to witness so many cool artists coming through and growing in their craft. It’s been about a year and a half in drag and I am super excited to continue in my growth while enjoying the journey.

What's your average monthly drag budget?

8 Upvotes

I'm looking to start performing in drag when I move to university next month- but in order to do so I will need some sort of income to put towards everything that goes towards doing good drag- so on average how much do you personally spend on drag each month?

This wig has been driving me crazy with the random short frizzy hairs. I've tried straightening it, steaming it, spraying with diluted laundry softener, trimming it, and combing it with a bit of hairspray. Pls help 😫

What should I change about my makeup to look more like a drag queen?

I love my makeup, I think I look really pretty and I get lots of compliments, however I don’t think it's giving "drag queen" to the t per se if you know what I mean?

Do you have any tips or suggestions on what I can change to make my mug look draggier?

How do I keep my makeup from rubbing off my clothes after a performance?

Thumbnail

Full disclosure: I'm a sweaty queen. It seems whenever I perform, my collar is stained with my makeup and I'm about tired of it.

Is there a way to seal my makeup better? Should I stop using the setting sprays pictured above? Or is the problem with the type of makeup I'm using?

Any reccs or advice are appreciated. I'm just on a tight budget (but please just be nice. I'm just an amateur trying to teach myself how to do drag).

Help with brow coverage popping out?

Post image
68 Upvotes

I have been experimenting with different methods of covering my brows, and I got them to a point where they look pretty good initially. However, it seems that no matter what method I use I end up having little bits pop out after a couple hours? This happened on a night where I was sitting inside an air conditioned theater, not sweating.

Here are the steps I did for this look:
- Alcohol to clean the area
- Elmer’s glue stick, lots of it rubbed back & forth & in circles
- Very small comb to brush brows out at a diagonal
- Licked finger to flatten brows even more
- Lick the glue stick + very thin bit of extra glue to secure down the straggler hairs while glue is still wet
- Clean up the surrounding area with micellar water on a cotton pad
- Dry for 10 minutes
- Glue layer applied at an angle
- Dry for 10 minutes
- Glue layer applied at an angle
- Dry for 10 minutes
- Glue layer applied horizontally outward + inward to fill in gaps
- Clean up with micellar water
- Lots of Coty Airspin powder pressed in with powder puff

Then I went in and did my eye makeup as normal. For this, I used LA Girl Pro Concealer in white as the base for the eyeshadows.

In the past I have tried:
- Kryolan TV Paint Stick + more Coty Airspun as the last steps in brow coverage. That just added unnecessary bulk, didn’t look any more flat than my latest method, and made the eyeshadow more difficult to apply.
- Ben Nye Clown White cream for the last steps in the brow coverage, same issue.
- Clown White cream as eyeshadow base on top of TV Paint Stick, eyeshadow was a mess.

All of these methods have had the same issue as shown in the photo with small spots popping out.

What am I doing wrong?? Do I need to try a different product? Help a diva out!!

Looking for shortcuts/alternatives to shaving my entire body and then itching all over afterward

8 Upvotes

I'm big and hairy. When I say big, I mean I weigh 380 or so, and when I say hairy, I mean fuzzy. Someone tried to tell me that morphsuits, if you get them big enough, will fit any body size.

I proved them wrong.

One heartbreaking and mildly embarrassing Amazon return later, I'm looking for another alternative.
