For this makeup I chose to keep my models facial hair as many Drag Acts are very obviuosly men whether they have facial hair or not. So I chose to experiment with a makeup to see whether it would work with a beard or not.

 

Block out Brows

  • For this makeup this wasnt required as he has very fair eyebrows

 

Base

  • I applied a smooth coverage of foundation all over, including the lips

  • I then conroured into the cheeks but decided not to be to heavy on the nose

  • To warm up the skin I added a peachy blush along the contoured cheek

 

Eyes

  • I drew on brows above the natural brows and created a feminine curve

  • I chose two bbold colours for a more theatrical makeup

  • I then applied lashes to give an instant feminine touch

 

Lips

  • I originally chose a pinky tone but decided a deeper red would look more suitable

 

Hair

  • For a final touch I added a theatrical wig 

 

Overall, I thought this was a successful experiment as the reactions I got from this makeup helped me to determine how the public may react.

Looking at this makeup, next time I would apply eyeliner to give a more defined, harsher makeup. I would also contour the nose heavier, to make this a slightly more feminine feature.
