products used (as best remembered): mary kay medium coverage foundation in bronze 500, maybelline mineral power finishing veil, mac paint pot in artifact, coastal scents eyeshadow m18, mac igment in fuchsia, makeup forever eyeshadow in #92, nyx eyeshadow in matte black, coastal scents eyeshadow in s05 (highlight, i think), generic white eyeliner pencil, generic black eyeliner pencil, maybelline colossal volumn express mascara in classic black, sassy eyeshadow in brown (eyebrows), black radiance blush in plum sorbet, mac cream colour base in improper copper (for cheek highlight), mac powder blush in blunt (contour), generic medium brown lip liner pencil, generic lip color--bronzy color. that's it--i think! blessings

hello purrtykitty! thanks so much--should i edit and add the products now? (if i can remember hehe!) i don't know why i didn't list them--it's something i usually do (sigh). blessings...

thanks to everyone for your oh so nice comments! i'm really serious about the constructive criticism--i am aspiring to become a freelance MUA (a little late in life LOL!) and anything that will help me to "perfect" my techniques/looks/applications, etc. will be most appreciated! be blessed you all...

I've been to alot of drag shows, I think this is a good drag look. What I think makes a drag look too is a lot of fierce contouring. The eye look is very fierce. I love it when I see drag queens do a fierce cut the crease, like eye liner so dark it's crazy. I might say, but advice to take it a step further is to focus on contouring.

hi tashona: thanks for the c.c.! how much contouring is too much for this kinda thing? i am using mac's blunt powder for contouring--should i be using something a little darker or should i just use more of it? am i perhaps overblending? i'm so used to doing day looks with no obvious lines between products/shades that i'm just not sure how to step this up. i think i naturally gravitate to rather extreme/editorial looks in makeup (i'm artsy-fartsy that way); however, i just don't have a chance to really practice this type of makeup and i certainly don't have a chance to wear it. i think that this is a major weakenss in terms of my skill set. any/all suggestions would really be appreciated!

Hi! Very cool use of color!

When you contour, also highlight the area where the light will hit. This makes the "sculpting" come alive. Also sculpt the nose, & bright highlights on the brow bone & eye lid always work to really bring out the drag queen in you.

I just found your thread after I posted an FOTD call the KNOCK-DOWN / DRAG-OUT eye, which was also inspired by the drag look.

Keep up the good work!
