Yes, QUEEN!

I am a drag queen stuck in a women’s body.  I’ve been obsessed with the artistry of drag makeup for ages.  Let’s be real.  Makeup artists have been stealing tricks of the trade from drag forever.  Contour, highlight, over-lining lips and brow shaping; all snatched right out of the glittery makeup bags of the most glamorous queens. 

Imagine how thrilled I was to collaborate with my favorite drag queen of all time, Mila O’Day.  Our mission was to transform me into Mila’s sassy twin.  Larger than life lashes, lips to die for and a huge blonde wig, along with Mila’s killer makeup skills and - voila! I am a QUEEEN! When I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror I was like “Oh Muh Gawd!!! I AM FABULOUS!!”. Once the wig was in place I was totally ready to hit the stage. 

Mila LOVES using Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics as well as Sugarpill, Anastasia of Beverly Hills and Mac Cosmetics - just to name a few.  You should’ve seen my eyes light up like a dazzling Christmas tree when I saw her makeup kit.  Check out our video below to see how she uses makeup to transform me from a boring brunette to a beautiful blonde queen.

XO,

Mila & RD
