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.

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.

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.
