Art of Drag

The process of getting into drag or into character can take hours. The goal is to look feminine; as a female impersonator a drag queen must look the part. Of course hair, make-up, and costumes are the most important essentials for drag queens. [8] Drag is a form of art; there is so much work and creativity that is put into transforming into a drag queen. The steps seem limitless; makeup is the first essential in transforming. Every drag queen must have flawless skin and that is where foundation comes in to play; a clean clear face needs to be able to cover all wrinkles, flaws, blemishes which help to create a clean canvas. Once the clean canvas is created, eye shadow will be added to eyes for an intense, dramatic look. Drag queens use a lot of eyelashes to give the eyes a more intense look. It’s all about layering different colors of eye shadows, bronzers, and blush into creating the finished face of a drag queen. Since drag queens are men, contouring is very important in creating high cheekbones and a slimmer face, as well as creating a smaller structured nose. After the makeup process the drag queen will be adding hair to the look which will give the look a more realistic women-like head. Many drag queens often wear wigs or hairpieces. To finish up the look, a perfect costume is needed. Depending on the event and the look that each drag queen are going for the costumes can consist of a sparkling sequin dress, a leopard body suit, and even a fur coat. ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOIrIHW1k2w Drag queens tend to like the more exaggerated look with a lot more makeup than a typical female. With the complete look, drag queens often go out to clubs and bars, where they will typically perform an act which is called a “drag show”. [9] Many drag queens do dress up for money by doing different shows, but there are drag queens that have full-time jobs but still enjoy dressing up in drag as a hobby. [10]

I copied and pasted what I added from the Drag Queen wikipedia page. As for my content edit, I edited the shows and venues part, but i think half of my section was removed by someone. This is what was left: In most cases, you can see drag performance at bars without any cost, but there are other drag queen performances where you would have to purchase tickets in advance to see them perform. (The part that was removed was about purchasing tickets to see famous drag queens from Rupaul's Drag Race)
