These days, a new beauty guru pops up daily with promises of THE BEST reviews of every product under the sun. Who knows more about makeup than a drag queen though? Well, I think I must might! Not only do I work as a full time drag queen, I’m also a licensed esthetician since 2001, a former international makeup artist and beauty blogger, as well as vegan for well over a decade.

Take it from me, drag queens are hotter than ever and we certainly know how to look glamorous from day until night. Whether you’re a drag performer or just a makeup lover who wants the best products to beat your mug; here’s the tea, sis!

A primer is an essential way to prep your face for makeup, especially when you’re sweating in the club until 2am. Youngblood is a silicone based mineral product that smooths out pores and wrinkles, takes down the shine, plus keeps your makeup looking fresh longer. I’d never apply makeup without it!
