The Best Drag Queen Makeup Looks
The drag scene is finally getting the recognition it deserves and what better time to celebrate than during Pride month. Of course, we can't celebrate as we usually would, but it doesn't mean we can't have fun creating fabulous makeup looks in the comfort of our own homes.
That's why we've collated our top ten favourite drag queen beauty looks to help us recreate some of the glitz and the glamour. Just remember to add plenty of flair and the bigger the lashes the better!
1. Jaida Essence Hall
Obviously, first on the list is Season 12 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Jaida Essence Hall, with this beautiful blue number. Test your skills by using bright blue eyeshadow hues, big false lashes and plenty of bling.

This one is all about the eyelashes. Take it to the next level with these falsies and add some face gems and glitter for extra dazzle.

3. Ellis Atlantis
We can’t get enough of these contrasting shades of lime green and hot pink! Use this handy neon eyeshadow to add some sparkle to your makeup and don’t forget the lipstick.

4. Bob the Drag Queen
Approach this look from Bob The Drag Queen with caution. The contrast between the yellow lid and black lipstick is for those that want to be seen.

5. Miss Fame
The rainbow of colours makes this look perfect to celebrate Pride month, and this makeup palette from Illamasqua is ideal for creating wonderful, colourful looks without breaking the bank.

6. Envy Peru
This seductive look is all down to the big bold lashes and the deep plum lip. Try this glossy yet long-wearing lipstick from Maybelline for the perfect dupe.

7. Latrice Royale
Up the ante with your Pride look with some dramatic liner jewels. A bold cat-eye will take your makeup from glum to glam in an instant! And a warm apricot or brown gloss like the one Latrice is wearing here is a modern update on the matte, red lip that often accompanies cat-eyes.

8. Kim Chi
It’s all about the low, sharp contour and the flush of blush with this look (and obvs the drawn on tears too).
Get the look:
9. Sasha Velour
We can’t wait to try out the now iconic Sasha Velour eyebrow look. Plenty of liner and a steady hand is needed to recreate this one.
Get the look:
10. Shea Couleé
For brows that aren’t as statement try out this Shea Couleé look. Think peachy pink lips, mint green eyeshadow and perfectly raised arche using the best brow pomades and pencils.
