- Well, I do declare!
Hey, guys, it's me Blair St. Clair from season 10
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
If you've ever wanted to see me with the official
Blair look, well, check this out and watch me go
from this to this.
What I think is really, really important starting out
with your makeup is having really well moisturized skin,
because wearing makeup for so long periods of time,
your makeup can get really cracky and crunchy,
and what you want is a really, really nice solid base.
So I've already started with moisturizing my face
with a really thin layer of moisturizer and primer
all over, after I've shaved of course.
You know you can't have that stubble,
that crusty crust that you get growin' right under here.
And my first step that I'm gonna
go in with is covering my eyebrows.
I like to cheat with my eyebrows,
because I basically have a pretty feminine shape
of where I start my eyebrow, because I want my
eyebrow drawn on to start where
my real eyebrow actually grows.
So, basically, I want that line to kind of be taken
this direction upward.
So that means that I don't really need this little piece
of my eyebrow that I have here that I grow.
I'm gonna start with my trusty glue stick
and I'm gonna go in into my eyebrow hairs
and really make sure that I kind of dab this part
of my eyebrow down with the glue, working forward
and backward with the hairs, really on the corner
of my eyebrow that I want covered.
As you can see, I'm only really kind of covering
that outer edge right there.
Take a spoolie or mascara wand and brush
those hairs right down.
I'm also gonna take my finger next to smooth is all out
to make sure I have a really smooth surface
for what I want to cover.
And then after I've smoothed that, I'm gonna add
a little more glue, just to smooth everything out
and make it very seamless.
Okay, so once I finish applying the glue to this area
of my eyebrow, I'm going to wipe away the excess glue
that's actually not touching or sitting on my eyebrow.
I'm going to now set the glue where before it's
completely dried, it's still kind of slightly tacky
on my eyebrow, with powder.
I'm using a really super white powder, so when
I put that color down on top of my eyebrow,
it's really, really, gonna help cover all the colors
and then I'm just repeat on the opposite side.
I'm gonna take a brush, and just kind of dust away
some of that extra loose powder that's already
on my face, and then I'm going to repeat that same
process one to two more times, until I get a
really, really smooth surface area right here
where the eyebrow is.
I like starting with my eyebrows next and then
cleaning up with my foundation second,
so that way I can get the most perfect, snatched
defined brow, and I can go in with my foundation
afterward to really clean up that eyebrow area.
So I'm gonna take an angled brush and have a brown cream
and I'm going to start drawing
my eyebrow shape in this area.
The way I like to draw my eyebrows
is if I put my head downward,
I want it to look like I have my eyebrow
coming up like this and pointed straight down,
so you can see I'm creating that line here,
this line here, and then I'm going to replicate
the same thing on the other side.
I'm next gonna draw in the top line of the eyebrow
and connect it to the arch and really kind of shade
that area in that I've drawn on.
Eyebrows are my least favorite part
because I feel like I have to get them
completely symmetrical, even though they're
never symmetrical.
I stress out the most over that,
so I like to get it done first.
Get it out of the way.
Before I do that and outline my eyebrows,
I am going to fill in this little area here
that has nothing.
This is just my eyebrow that's in the area.
I'm going to take an eye shadow brush
and really kind of feather that into my real eyebrow.
I wanna create the nice hombre effect
of my natural eyebrow with no makeup on it,
into this fake ending of the eyebrow that I've created.
I'm next going to trace around the eyebrow
with my foundations.
Taking a cream white foundation,
and I'm gonna work right underneath the eyebrow,
and it's really cleaning up and straightening up that line.
I'm just gonna outline that eyebrow on top,
truly making a nice clean line.
Snatched eyebrow, huh, we like her, we're into her,
we love her.
I'm actually just gonna set this white
underneath my eye, with a very super white,
highly pigmented pressed eye shadow.
I'm just doing this, before I add in
my other foundation colors.
So now it's time to go in with my foundations.
So, I'm gonna start with taking my normal cream
foundation stick.
As you can see I already started to really
go around and define my eyebrow with this same
cream foundation, so I'm gonna kind of continue
onto my forehead area, slather her on a little bit,
and onto my face.
As you can see, I cover quite a bit
of the surface area of my face, but I didn't cover
the entire thing in a lot of just really thick makeup.
This is a really thin layer over the majority
of my face, so where I need the most makeup on my face.
Take that sponge and dab and sponge it all around my face.
Slap, slap, slap, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow,
p p p pow pow pow pow pow, that's what I think every time.
I'm gonna take the same cream white I use underneath
my eyebrow, and I'm gonna use my finger,
and plop that on my cheekbones.
I'm also gonna put that on my upper lip,
right in my cupid's bow area, on the top of my chin,
my cute little dinky chin.
If I'm looking down, I want it on the center of my
forehead right here because this is highlighted
most front part of my forehead.
And then on my nose.
So my nose I only do, I don't go all the way up
to the bridge of my nose, I start about 3/4 of the way up
and I work it to the tip of my nose,
itty bitty tip right there.
So, I'm wanting these areas to stand out most
and be the most prominent on my face,
that's why I'm lightening this area
with a lighter foundation.
I'm gonna use this to blend out any of those lighter areas.
I'm also gonna work that lightness
and I'm gonna work that highlight
a little onto the edge of my nose right here.
Whoo, this cheekbone, she's poppin' out!
I'm going to set my face now with a translucent powder
all over my face.
This is really gonna lock in and set in
everything I've already done with my makeup.
So once I've started applying that translucent
powder all over my face, I'm gonna take another
brush and really dust away any extra powder
that's just sitting there that I don't need.
After I have built on my foundation and my highlights
and I've set them, I want to build
on my contour on my face.
So I like to take my contour brush,
and my bronzing powder, and really dab it
in the areas that I want to hide in my face.
So I want my cheekbones to pop,
adding this darkness and this depth
underneath the cheekbones.
I'm just kind of applying it at first
because I want to go back in and really smooth out,
and really blend out those areas,
really, really, really up here around my forehead.
So I'm gonna bring my contour up here and round it off
in a C formation.
As you can see, there's quite a bit of contour
just stacked on my face.
I'm going to take a really large brush,
to kind of blend all that away.
All the lines out and really to make it soft.
I don't really need to add any extra shadowing
around my jawline.
I actually don't contour underneath my jaw at all.
But I am going to contour nose.
And, I'm going to start near the tip of my nose
and kind of work my way up into blending out the sides
of contour on my nose.
After I finish the base of my highlights and contours,
I'm going to go in with my eyes.
Today I'm going to do more of a simple,
natural, nude look, kind of a nude allusion if you will,
for my eye shadow.
I like to start with drawing the crease of my eye
with an eyeliner pencil.
One of my big beauty secrets is starting with the crease
of my eye and mapping that out, with a eyeliner pencil.
I like to think of it as my eyes are downward,
and they're glaring and beading this way,
everything should be focused here, it should blend outward.
So, when I lift my eye, I'll have a highlight of space here.
I'm just gonna draw the shape,
I want my crease to be today.
Awesome, perfect, lovely.
Next, I'm going to go in with the next part of my crease
and that's really, really defining that inner edge
and that line, that really breaks from my eye socket
to the crease.
Now you can really start to see where that dark crease
comes in, right where it cuts off of my eyelid,
it has that depth right here.
I wanna cut away any extra color that might be on my lid,
and I'm going to use a liquid lipstick on my lid
in a nude shade.
I'm gonna go back with the white cream that I placed
under my eyebrow bone and on my cheekbones.
This just allows my eyes to look a little bit more open,
a little bit more doll like.
Now I have really little eyes, s I don't want my eyes
to look way too dark, so I'm just adding a little bit
of black on the outer corner of my and into my lid area.
Now that that the top part of my eye is finished
I'm gonna add a little bit of few details
on the bottom part of my eye.
I'm just gonna take my white eyeliner pencil,
and line my water line.
A very light beige color right underneath that white
to define it, and then just a little bit of black
connecting on the outer half of my eyeball.
So that your eyes look open and doll like and
glorified, I'm gonna add just a little bit of a black
eyeliner on the top to top it off.
After applying your eyeliner perfectly,
which it never really is, I'm going to use
massive coats of mascara all over my natural lashes.
The next thing I like to do, is warm up my face
with a little bit of blush, especially on my cheeks.
Of course one of my next favorite parts
of all my makeup is shimmer.
What drag queen doesn't love glitter, doesn't love shimmer?
I love shimmer!
I'm applying the highlight all over the places
that I highlighted with the cream.
She's a woman!
She is a woman, whoo, whoo!
Into that fantasy!
Next are my lips.
I don't really overdraw my lips too much
mainly because that's why I went to the doctor
and I got bigger lips.
So after I've lined my lips, I'm going to go in
with my nude lipstick as well and fill in
all the cracks.
We're gonna glass her up, make her shiny,
make her glisten.
I'm feelin' it today.
Right before I do my lashes, one of my last
favorite little new tricks of mine,
is defining my cupid's bow with a little bit
of a white liquid eyeliner.
And, all I have left is lashes.
I snip off the very beginning and very end
of my eyelash, so my eyelash is really concentrated
on the middle part of my eye.
My favorite eyelash glue is the brush on
kind of eyelash glue because it usually dries
much quicker too.
Oh, she's a woman, post pubescent woman.
So now that I've finished with my makeup,
I'm going to slip into my signature look,
just for you guys.
So now that I've add my hair, my wardrobe,
my jewelry, my nails, this is the final glow up look.
