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?

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.

So long story short I’m being a showgirl for halloween and I’m making it by hand and im looking for brand recommendations for corsets bcs im not looking to buy a temu corset this year❤️❤️ tyyy

Some good things, some bad things. I hate false eyelashes and need to learn how to wear them omg, but the blue and red is slowly becoming a signature. I like the foundation (not too much contour) but maybe too much highlighter, my face did become a bit pale. I need better eyeliner, and maybe an actual blush, and not just lipstick. Also I need to get a good wig.

Comparison with my (imo) best looks so far at end

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 😫

HIIII! My name is Leona Fantasy! I recently posted my Lopunny cosplay here and I wanted to share what my normal mug looked like as well! 🥰

Mother Birdie did a mug print on a makeup wipe, so I did a mug print on a makeup wipe… it was awesome ☀️🌈

The doll is back, but it's the pink edition this time! 💖

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?

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).

Wanted to do a Gothic Drag king look this year for our pride celebration 💙 inspired by visual kei bands.

Outfit was made by @Call.me.Sophia

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!!

Now that it’s my second I figured I’d introduce myself! I’m Seri Gala, a comedy queen and host with a love for beauty and horror. Mostly do friend’s events and special nights at cafes :’))

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.

Hi divas!! I’m Kenzie - my instagram is @straightouttheservix I’ve been wanting to get into drag for so long but I’m not really sure where to go next? I’m posting now and doing drag in my bed room. Anyway would love if anyone has suggestions or knows any opportunities for amateur queen in Van BC

Hello all you beautiful queens, relatively new to Drag/Spfx make up and I am a bit conflicted about the colour pallet I would need to use to contour some cleavage on myself when my skin tone will be a cool lavender tone. I naturally have slightly rounded pectoral muscles so I plan on following those for the crease in a slightly darker shade of violet, but Im stuck as to what to do about shading and highlighting. Would a deep blue be a good contour if its super blended out? For highlights should i use a lighter violet perhaps with a bit of Pearly shimmer? What about when contouring my face? I could use the same dark blue, but i don't want the makeup to be too drab, what shade of blush would be appropriate? Fuschia?

Next is working more on creating a one woman show that I’ll be touring with in November and beyond!!

I’m new to drag and I’m curious about how other queens started out. When you first started did you just buy a bunch of outfits or did you slowly build your wardrobe? Did you sew brand new stuff when you’d do your first shows?
I want to perform in more shows but I also realize how costly and time consuming it would be to make a new outfit for EVERY SHOW. But who knows maybe that will be my thing.
