hey y'all
it's me simone and i'm here to show you
some skincare
and the makeup for one of my favorite
looks
from the show so let's get into it baby
first we're going to start with the
skincare and i know out there y'all a
little bit obsessed with the skin
okay but you will be probably shocked to
know that i don't use that much
product on my face you know i keep it
real simple real clean real cute
and effective first i use this the
autocorrect
and this is from sunday riley
and notice i bring it all the way down
honey de-puff the cheeks de-puff the
under-eye ain't nothing wrong with that
and next i go in with here this lovely
little ceo cream
or actually some serum excuse me i do my
little drums upon my
thumb and this is also another
brightening
moment here a little moisture in the
face because i like to look
like i am glowing at all times
i noticed when i first started drag you
know because i was younger so i was like
oh you know i'll just take it off and
it'll be fine but then as i got a little
bit older i realized that's not cute the
pores are getting clogged
the skin is getting drier it's just not
good so
i had to really hone in and take care of
it especially now
being a full-time queen you have to take
care of your skin because it's the base
of everything
and you're putting makeup on it every
day for hours on end so i'll make sure
she is
stunning this right here changed the
game
sometimes you put on a product and it's
like oh okay but this
no this is it the good jeans
baby i if i could bathe in this
i would and i put it everywhere
i like to go in and moisturize
all right now that our skincare is done
we can get into the makeup
so i started with my contacts
brown owls are lovely and all but the
enchantress she got a she's got to come
on through
the contacts are in
the eyes the soul darling
or wait what they say oh eyes window so
got it okay
now it's time for the primer and this
one i use
one size
next up is foundation i use the nyx
um i can't stop one stop and i use the
liquid i
i don't particularly like using a heavy
foundation i'll go back in with
concealers and all that stuff
i was using a more yellow toned
foundation at first and i didn't notice
i was just putting it on you know what
i'm saying
and i actually got a youtube comment
that i needed to start using something
that was a little bit more red
and i listened and baby the
transformation is
leaps and bounds better
do not forget your neck i a baby simone
she forgot her neck kind of ended the
pictures you can tell
and now the time has come for concealers
one of my favorite parts of this whole
thing
so i use these three lovely girls
we're gonna start with this one in the
shade
banana when i first started
doing makeup i was like oh i'm pretty i
don't need to put on
all of this darling and
you will be like um actually no you're
you're a drag queen and you can start
wearing a little bit more makeup
and of course was resistant to that
thought
as time went on i was like ah maybe
they're right and i feel like my makeup
has gotten
a lot better because of it i like to use
a
well used beauty blender if you will
i like the light to hit here the
brightest i love
because i love my eyes and i think i
have gorgeous eyes
and so i like this to be the brightest
and the most concealed
when i was first doing makeup i was
there wasn't really youtube around
there weren't that many black gurus and
so i was watching why girls do their
makeup and so i would go
to match my foundation colors and things
with what was at the drugstore which was
also
very minimal i really taught myself how
the colors that i need to use and where
to place everything because there
weren't really anyone else there for me
to look up to so
i'm glad i kind of get these
opportunities to kind of
how how i do my things so that other
people
that you know look like me can uh
watch and learn because i didn't really
have that so it's always
nice to be that for other people
and from here i go in with the contour
color and this
is earth and this is kind of just
more of a way for me to confine the
brightness
where i want it and to really carve out
my cheekbones
so i can really map out my face and
where i want
my shapes to be
and i really try on the edges here to
marry the two so that it doesn't look
like such a harsh
line oh look at that oh she's getting
here look at that oh
so when i first started doing makeup
actually it would take me
about four hours to just do the makeup
art like literally just to do the makeup
it took me four hours the more i've done
it and of course being on
tv the race it is truly a race it's in
the name it's not a joke
we ain't playing around here okay so i
can do my makeup now in about hour hour
and a half
and they don't call it the olympics to
drag for nothing because
i'm literally you see i'm going with
this beauty blender on my face like this
because
it's almost traumatic how quickly we had
to get ready
so it's kind of great in a way though
because
it's muscle memory now so i know my face
i know where everything needs to go
once you have it you got it and baby
there's no mistaking i got it
and i'll go right here
and then i'll go back in with the earth
and do the jawline
last but certainly not least i use this
little
lovely here kevin of one and literally
do this like you see how much that is
and i just use this concealer right here
under the eye right here because this is
where i like
like once again to be the brightest and
just to help with coverage because i
have the issues with those lovely little
bags under there so
anything helps and she is
i tend to think the less is more when it
comes to the face products
just simply because i don't want to look
too cakey i like using just enough to
get
the point across so just like the
concealers i use
three different powders to set my face
i like to set the under eye um simply
because
i don't want it to crease and this
is where i use the most powder just to
make sure it's really set in there
i like to have all of this connected
and to be the same color and i'm going
with this powder here
the dark deep
and now that we've set the whole face
uh we'll go back in with the highlight
powder that i used underneath the eye
and so now it is time for contour and i
have found
that the best contour for me is just
using eyeshadows because
the contour palettes that i found just
don't go dark enough so i just
got i would get a palette like this and
get and use the two darkest
browns and i feel like that's more of a
natural drag moment or as natural
as we can get doing drag you know
for the cheek contour i'll take a brush
like this and go in
and i'll start right up here
and make this line just because it's a
little bit more precise
you see how that just lifts you all the
way up i want it to be up up up
and so this third power here is powder
excuse me
it's a little bit more orange i just go
in
here
the cheek is more cut out so we're just
bringing everything back we're bringing
everything back that we kind of took
away when we did the all-over face
powder
and now that we've sculpted contoured
with these
i'm gonna go back in over the contours
of my face and so i'll actually take
this shade right here and i guess i
consider this the bronzer and i'll take
it
and you'll see here what a difference it
made
didn't i say before i didn't like
putting that much makeup on i guess i
lied to y'all
now they're actually analyzing myself i
lied
i lied
all right so now i'm gonna go in and
contour my nose real quick and so i'll
go back in with this powder here
and take right here now i don't go
crazy on the nose contour i do it enough
to you know know that it's there there's
a little bit of shadow but i
personally like my nose
i do it enough just say i've done it
just put it that way so i'll go in with
this one right here
and we will blend darling blend blender
the powder that we have for the
highlight that we use on the right here
dip cube
and then go on the side
[Music]
and i'll take it all the way down here
this is an eye primer
i'll take it and this will tell me where
i want to put my colors
on my eye i usually take this brush
before
and i'll go over and kind of you see the
shape being created already
i'll kind of do that because the next
step is my
least favorite step of it all right
next is brows i use this
here i'll take the darkest one
and and i go little by little i
you know you can always take away but i
try not to make
too many big moves i swear if i'm ever
late this is why
when i first started i um
beginners makeup i use my real brows
tragedy a mistake i just shaved them off
and had probably a little bit of a panic
attack about it
for a little bit
i don't like having like such a harsh
line
underneath my brow you know define it
and then blend it out a little bit
i'll take this here
now i'm gonna go in with this pomade
here from anastasia
og and
really go in and make it more pronounced
and they never really look like
twins sometimes they look like sisters
all right so now it is time for the
eyeshadow
and i'm gonna go with this lovely little
palette here i
really loved playing with colors and you
know trying to
really find my individuality you know
i've always
kind of been that way i've never really
wanted to look like anyone else i've
always wanted to look like myself
i think that's important when you do
drag i think it's important to find
what makes you you and what makes you
shine and sparkle and that was
really important to me when i started
dragging extra important when it went on
the show
i don't know how from eyeshadow to that
but
i'm gonna take my finger and i'm gonna
take these two lovely colors here
i'm gonna blend them together i'm gonna
put them
right here
i tend to be more on the quiet side
and so when i was on the runway i was
like how
can i use fashion as a tool
to get my point across and say what i
want to say
you know i wanted to say something
and i think when you get a platform and
you're on tv and you have
the ability to be in front of people and
to in a way
influence how people see you it's
important to take advantage of that
we wouldn't have a lot of things without
drag so it's very important that
i felt anyway that i take this
opportunity to
hone in on that i'm gonna take
this lovely shade in this lovely shade
here
and start mapping out
a crease
is the color of royalty if you did not
know don't get it twisted now
i it was a long journey for me i did not
always feel that way
um like i said i was a very shy kid i
was very into myself
so when i found drag it really gave me a
way to
to you know voice how i felt and how i
saw the world
fashion and hair and clothes was my way
of expressing myself i'm gonna go in
with a little
lighter this right here to kind of
blend here so it's just a little bit
more to teach me more dimension
i'm gonna take this lovely here i go in
and now i'm going with the trusty dusty
eyeliner i use a pen and you see how i
kind of went in here
with the purple to kind of already get
that here i'm going to follow that line
with this color
i'm kind of going in and reinforcing it
um with a shadow i'm going to take a
darker
stark purple here and
ever so slightly
just you know i do tiny strokes get the
desired shape where we want it to be
and i kind of worked from the lightest
to the darkest i find that to be the
easiest
to do really lay down the groundwork so
that the
darkness can make this pop more
look at that gorgeous girl
arriving to the bowl and i'm gonna go in
with the black here
but i'm just gonna take it right here
and just blend darling
now it is time for lashes i have these
big old these big daddies but i love
a huge lash i just think i mean it
covers
pretty much all the work i just did but
the lashes are great
now this drag trick is a real like this
is some directional hair
i use a hair bond we bond glue
now i'm gonna take a big ol fluffy brush
and i'm just gonna
wipe away all that
powder and i like you see i use the
whole time to bake
because i like the colors to really
stick into the skin
so usually from here i would do my blush
and demo highlighter but today
this lovely welly hugh fenty
beauty combo here and this
is for the highlight and it'll bring
color back into the face as well
ariana actually shout out hey girl
actually dm'd me
on instagram and
told me how so very proud
she was me and how it was amazing to see
me on the show
and i literally kid you not lost my mind
five a.m in the morning i was on my way
to shooting one of my looks for the show
actually and i got that dm
and was like what she's like my one of
my biggest idols so for her to say that
and just like know that she's watching
and supporting me was so fabulous
i'm gonna take this one right here and
go right here
i anytime i do a highlighter i try to do
at least
two one darker so the whole thing is
highlighted but the light really hits in
that one
particular spot as you can see and for
this particular lip we're gonna go in
with
three lovely little products here and i
love to line my lips first
and i start usually right here
and now that we are lined i'm gonna go
in with the color
so last but certainly not least is the
gloss part
and um it's my favorite part it makes
the lips
i look so dry from one and then also it
makes them look so much better
so i'm gonna go with my sister gigi's
lip gloss
so i'm gonna take it put it on actually
my finger
gorgeous then i will take the beauty
sponge the back end of it and just
really
pat it in all right my divas
