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

135 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.

What was the drag performance that made you fall in love with drag? 💃✨

2 Upvotes

I've always found drag performances fascinating. The creativity, confidence, makeup, fashion, and energy that performers bring to the stage are honestly incredible! 💖

One thing I love about drag is how every performer has their own unique style and personality. Some make you laugh, some leave you speechless with their looks, and others can genuinely move you with their performances.

I'm curious, what was the first drag performance or queen that really caught your attention?

Was it something you saw on RuPaul's Drag Race, a live show, or a performance you randomly came across online?

I'd love to hear your stories and discover some amazing performers I might have missed! 🌈✨

Recommendations for a birthday gift for a drag queen

6 Upvotes

So basically my good friend has recently picked up drag and they LOVE IT. I asked them what their wanted for their birthday (which is quickly approaching) and they said "anything you think would be fun in my drag! like makeup, glitter, accessories."

The problem is I am not personally a drag queen and, while I definitely love to watch drag shows, know basically nothing about what goes into it or what would be "fun" in someone's drag. I know they're a very pop-centered drag queen, I know they like to strip on stage, and I know they like to wear glittery stuff, but that's about where my knowledge of the ins-and-outs ends.

I was just wondering, if there are any drag queens reading this who are willing to help my sorry ass out, what would you have liked to recieve as a baby queen? What kind of glitter is good for drag, what accessories are fun to use/common, any makeup pallets that are fun and common in the community?

Any help or ANY direction at all would be appreciated please 😭

Help supporting my teen daughter with her first drag king look

20 Upvotes

First post here, long-time admirer of all you Kings and Queens! I (38F, with only very basic light makeup skills) am looking to support my 14 y/o daughter (she/they, queer and questioning EVERYTHING) in trying out her first drag King look. She has a full character ready with lore and an outfit; she's looking to be on the natural side, just looking a lot more masculine than her typical look. She already has a super-short pixie cut, so the hair will be easy, but I'm absolutely lost when it comes to contouring, and I really want to help her feel joyful and confident in this look. We are also planning to try doing some partner looks where we're both Kings together.

I'd love any buying guides and tutorials that others have found helpful, and while I'd love to say that money is no object, I do have 3 other kids, so I would like to stick with a few high-quality basics that we'll be able to experiment with if possible. We both have pretty fair skin, so we should be able to use similar products.

With her permission, I'll post a photo update in the future. Thanks for your help!

need help with eyebrows PLEASE

3 Upvotes

So i covered up my eyebrows with the purple elmers gluestick and set with the airspun loose powder. then i applied the white la girl concealer and moisturized my face, then used the tv paint stick in white, then used some setting powder again. my real eyebrows were still kind of shining through but thats not my main issue: the brows are WAY too tacky (i think from the glue??) and its kinda not possible to apply my drawn on eyebrows. i used a eye pencil and a brow pencil AND black eyeshadow, but it looks really smudged and not very sharp. what am i doing wrong? is it the products? what do you guys use to draw on eyebrows??

Go easy on me divas… I’m new to this! AHS Hotel inspired messy bun for my drag sister! I didnt realize I was dealing with a party city ass wig so I ended up having to glue a new hairline with no experience on how to do that… Proud of myself for getting this done in 24 hours! Before/after & inspiration at the end :)
