(Part 2) Best products from r/Drag

Sorry for the delay, had to dig around and see what I had. Try something like this in a 4X. That should bring you down to about a 34" waist. More if you're brave. I can get down to near 32" in mine. When you go to buy an actual quality corset, check out Orchard Corsets. They're on the pricey side, but so worth it.

Clothes can be tricky. I'm just shy of 6'5" so between that and my love of food and beer, off the rack is a challenge. I make about 95% of my own clothes. I'm not sure of your aesthetic, but there is stuff out there. Buying separates helps. If you give me an idea of your style, I'll see if I can't point you in the right direction.

Hope that helps at least a bit with the corset!

Something like this perhaps? If you want something more exact, though, I'd make it as others have suggested. Search for sheer black mesh long sleeve tops and also get some black floral lace. I love the idea, it's a super chic look!

I'm a biological lady, and I can assure you - no one can walk in heels their first time. Practice! I like to vacuum in heels because there's a lot of backward and forward motion, and it helps you learn how to steady yourselves in those shoes. As far as the slipping goes, what I like to do is take a serrated kitchen knife and lightly scuff up the bottoms of the shoes to help it grip better. They also make products like this that basically do the same thing (without damaging your shoe!). Heels really do tie an outfit together as well as lengthen legs and create a feminine silhouette, and IMO are pretty essential. If you need a good transition, start with a high heeled boot or strap with ankle support. Just remember: think tall, take small steps, and walk heel-toe, heel-toe. You'll get it eventually, but it will take a lot of practice to get there!

Illamasqua eyebrow cake in Thunder + Angled brush

Translucent setting powder

Milk of Magnesia (Use it as a primer, trust me)

I also echo the call for TV Paint Sticks, they're my super lovely, angel babies.

The perennial #101, for a softer look

Thanks! I've been using this super cheap palette from amazon, I'm surprised with how great it is https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001C6H6F8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here’s a link to a 6 pack for about $14: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EVP8PEW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_d09TBbBJC1M7V

Also don’t feel limited to exclusively wearing 301’s! A less dramatic lash would actually look great on your face imo 😊

I have an oily face, and I've never thought of it as being a particularly negative thing, Raven has constant shine going out of drag, and she believes that her skin looks great and young because of it! That being said, for every day wear (which is important for practicing subtlety) I use powder foundation. For drag I use Revlon's Colorstay for normal/dry skin because the oily skin version is a nightmare in an open mouth bottle that's impossible to get at. Watch for the clear cap, if its black plastic(that's the oily skin version), RUN. After applying in three colors and blending, I bake it with pounds of translucent fragrance free (shit is STRONG smelling otherwise) Coty Powder. That's how I base my face, anyway. Once I've refined everything, bronzed and blushed, I hairspray it all down with GOT2B Glued hairspray. I need to invest in a setting spray, hairspray probably isn't good for me at all.

I use the Coastal Scents Professional Camouflage Concealer Palette. I use contouring sponges something like this, moistened a bit. For full coverage, I use liquid concealer (a darker tone, and one that matches my skin) to cover broader areas and blend the contoured areas. Once the blending is complete, I use Tarte Smoothe Operator Clay Finishing Powder. I love it because it's superfine and gives a really even finish, and sucks up oil. However, keep in mind that mineral products will produce flash-back in photos. This is true for all of them, not just powder. You may want to try Smashbox products, as they're made to be studio makeup.

I'm considering these two dresses, but I'd love to get a second opinion from more seasoned queens (not on the fashion, but on whether they're suited for drag or if they'd be a nightmare for some reason). Let me learn from your mistakes! :)

I bought these on Amazon and they're great. Just allow a long time for shipping, they come from China.

Honestly, it's terrific!

I just ordered those doorknocker earrings! Thanks for sharing!

This sequin body suit has been worn by Jasmine Masters! And at least a handful of other queens I've seen on instagram!

These nail stickers keep fake nails on very well!

For shoes, I need height and a big fat heel!

Just a go-to sequin dress!

I'm in Australia and use a blue gluestick, but if you're in the US I've seen a lot of queens using the Elmers purple sticks. I buy the smallest size so that it's not much wider than my brow, so less clean up haha. https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-Disappearing-Purple-Washable-0-21-ounce/dp/B00143UIC2

3M's vinyl tape is awesome. It's got a bit of stretch to it, so you can really get everything high and tight, but because of the stretch it doesn't pull itself off throughout wear - and holds as well, if not better, than duct tape. Doesn't tend to sweat off, either.

It's been an industry standard for as long as I can recall. I know Willam from RPDR used to sell it as "Tuck Tape" if that holds any weight for you.

This is the wig: Kamo 32" 80cm Spiral Curly Cosplay Costume Wig (Green) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNJ5OBQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_yAW.ub1ZWH2JA

It's really inexpensive so I got two: one for a long curly look and another for this teased look. It took a while to learn how to style it, but I feel like it paid off

Buy these and glue stones and nails to them.
