- So the next step is eye- oh my God.
This is new.
That's stunning.
Wow.
Oh my God.
Hi guys!
It's me, Gottmik, from season 13 of RuPaul's drag race.
And today, I'm going to show you how I created
my 'Polka Dot Fantasy Best Drag' artistry look.
It's a really important look to me,
'cause it's one of my favorite makeups of the whole show,
as well as the overall looks.
I'm so excited to show you how I did it.
Watch me go from this:
to this!
(upbeat music)
(laughs)
(pop music)
Okay. So step one: I'm going to remove any makeup
or oils or anything disgusting off of my face.
Cause I tend to leave those on,
which is why I have that disgusting look right now.
Y'all like, am I kidding? Disgusting.
Well, skin prep, then I'm going to alcohol wipe my eyebrows,
so I can glue these thick angels of life down.
And I have a gorgeous unibrow going on right now,
which is going to be perfect to help me
lay these down easily, I'm sure.
This is like the juiciest glue stick
I've ever used in my life,
I used it yesterday, was actually confused.
(pop music)
How long do we have for this?
(snorts)
(pop music)
Just brushing these insane hairs up on my face.
(pop music)
Yeah. Well, so I
literally
shaved my brows for so long,
and they never really grew back
properly,
which is so annoying.
And everyone told me that was a myth, but it wasn't.
And so I got them tattooed on because I needed to
live my trade boy fantasy for awhile.
And I always said, if I got on the show,
I would shave them off. And then
here we are, the largest eyebrows I've ever had in my life.
Tattooed on. (laughs)
Like why is this glue stick so good?
You just save her forever.
I'm way too lazy to wait
for my glue to dry.
Like everyone has a full blow dryer, but I think
if I just powder in between it like sets it enough
for me to keep going, because I do not have time to stop
for that (bleep).
And he was like the most you could ever use,
and it gets everywhere.
I just keep packing it on.
Why did so much come off over here,
I love that for me today.
More powder.
(pop music)
Hmm. That feels good enough.
Next step I'm going to do is prime my face,
so the makeup stays on gorgeously.
(pop music)
Oh, I don't even know if that's what primer is for.
I literally make words, but don't really know what,
why I do that step but, priming.
Oh, I'm going to take that off.
So I do this look on the show.
I don't know if I did it in the most gorgeous time
efficient way that I could have done it, but I was debating
about it all day and
I can't think of a better way.
So if there is a better way, you guys can imagine,
let me know.
'Cause I would love to save some time today.
I'm going to paint my face white.
The next step is I'm going to paint my face white
which is a Gottmik signature classic moment,
I do it every time, and so,
here we go.
(pop music)
I've literally tried so many white
foundations
and
things
in my life because I do this every day and everyone always
everyone always asks me what I use.
And, um I've kind of learned that
it really doesn't matter what you use,
it just, as long as you use a like super
white powder, I could literally use like a, a really
light foundation and the powder just gets it there, girl.
So, the powders are the tea, for me.
(pop music)
I also think I'm balding, which scares me.
(snorts)
Oh my God.
Also, you guys are going to die at this.
Okay, so today I'm literally wearing long sleeves,
if you're wondering.
Um, because I literally think I got bit
by a (beep) Brown Recluse Spider yesterday.
Like it's literally on my arm, like so crazy.
I wasn't going to show it.
Actually it looks gorgeous right now, of course it does,
when I'm on camera.
But I, (chuckles)
I literally looked at it
and I Googled the, what it, those bites look like.
And it, it couldn't be more of what that looks like.
Like I think I might be the poster child for it.
(eerie sound) So I might die.
This might be my last drawing up.
For the next step,
I'm going to powder this face,
so I just set it, and it does not move.
(neutral music)
So this is kind of confusing, but
I only powder this section my face at first because
I contour my white face with
powders.
And so I like to contour upwards,
and then leave this cream
so I can cut it with creams after I powder it.
(sci-fi music)
There's no eye shadow palettes that have gray eyeshadows
in it, which is what I used to contour.
So,
I'm always on a literal hunt.
I basically, before the show, I, all I did was make up.
I worked as a makeup artist.
I would only post my makeup on my Instagram.
It's just makeup is, was, and is my life.
And,
I've literally evolved
with it so much when I first started.
I,
I'm like trying to think
of what I even like looked like, probably ugly.
When I first started, obviously was not the best, at
like my face,
I would kind of just like watch drag queens online
and like just take what they were doing
and putting it on my face.
And,
you know, everyone's face is different
so that's not the cutest way to do that, but
slowly but surely,
but I found out what, not only works for my face,
but what I feel comfortable with, looking like,
which was one of the reasons I paint my face white.
You know, I have like a ton of eyelid space,
but I don't like what my,
how girly I look when I have
this gorgeous blended out eye,
where I should put my crease.
So I like to cover that all in black
and redraw my crease up to this heavens of life. So,
I think I've definitely found what
not only works for me, but what I live for in makeup,
and that is just the key when finding out what your face
is supposed to be.
Finding a signature drag artistry bitch.
Okay, so now that I am contoured, the next step,
I am going to cut this contour,
so it is sharp as hell and not
like a weird blended mess that it is right now.
(soft guitar music)
Done it.
Uh, that's even enough for me.
So now, I just blend this out.
(soft guitar music)
Alright! Now, I'm going to powder that.
(soft guitar music)
Um, and,
Uh,
I,
um-
My nose contour literally is probably the only part
of my makeup besides my eyes that like changes all the time.
Like sometimes I feel like doing the sharpest,
Hm.
the sharpest craziest drag nose of life,
and then sometimes I just feel like a little gorg blend.
Like, I don't know, like I have no idea what goes
through my brain when I contour it, but,
it's never the same.
(instrumental music)
The look I'm doing today,
the nose contour is kind of part of the eye too.
So this is just like a rough little
base for what's going to happen.
I have the most powder of life on my face,
so let's move on to the eyes.
So the first eye moment is we are going to black
out this giant lid space that I have,
because I like to draw my crease so high up.
And so we need to get rid of that space.
Eyeliner!
(pop music)
The first time I do this, I literally am going in
with so many colors and glitter and artistry, that
this is, this doesn't have to be perfect.
'Cause we're going to have to clean it up later anyway.
So we're just doing a messy, stunning lid black out.
(soft music)
Okay, so we are going to start with the boring side,
because there's going to be a boring side,
and they're going to be a fun side to this makeup.
Not boring, but like, you know, um, boring-er.
(chuckles)
This is probably the most signature Gottmik eye,
I could have ever imagined for me.
So,
watch and learn and gorg, let's go it together.
If I do it on the wrong side, I'm going to die.
Um, but I think it's this way.
'Kay.
(sci-fi music)
So now I'm going to take this like, kind
of bigger-ish brush and just kind of blend out that line.
A little bit.
(sci-fi music)
Now, I'm going to blend it, blend it for real.
I don't think I ever have used three brushes
for those steps, but I was feeling it today.
(sci-fi music)
Next, I am going to kinda white-out underneath my eye to
give that like
under eye white that every drag queen, the world does.
Now, I'm going to connect to this top with the bottom.
(sci-fi music)
Blending this in to the nose.
The next step of this eye:
I am going to take a liquid eyeliner,
and I am going to finish off the wing,
with
an inner corner eyeliner straight wing.
There we go, yeah.
(pop music)
I don't really remember if I had glitter on this, or not.
I know I didn't at first, I don't know if I added it.
So I'm going to do a happy medium, and just put some like,
not crazy, crazy glitter on, but just like,
a little bit of a judge.
So it's like, kind of sparkly 'cause.
If I didn't have it, I should have had it, so.
Now, I'm going to start
the fun side.
This is why I think there's
probably a better way to do this.
'Cause I think this is dramatic.
I would literally draw the circle and take
off the makeup inside.
But now I'm thinking that I can just
paint over the white.
So, I'm going to try it a little different, and if
It doesn't work,
hm.
And I'm going to paint this little circle on.
Ya, why didn't I just do this?
I literally took it off with makeup.
I can't let this-
(sci-fi music)
'Kay.
That'll work.
(sci-fi music)
And then I'm going to use
a translucent on the top, because I feel
like underneath needs to be a little bit lighter
than the top.
So, now I get to start this eye,
This looks disgusting right now,
I swear to look cuter.
So this eye is a rainbow eye, and this is just
the way that I always do my rainbow eye.
I kind of need to learn to switch it up
because I might have worn this out to death at this
point, but I love it.
So whatever.
So first I'm going to take this blue.
(sci-fi music)
Banana goes into yellow,
(sci-fi music)
then it goes into orange.
I'm going to the white
under my eye really fast.
So now I'm going to go back to mapping out these colors.
(sci-fi music)
Now that the colors are laid out to some degree,
I'm going to go in with black,
and define it and give it more depth.
So now I'm going to go in and
cut this crease that we just did
with a little concealer.
(pop music)
And then I'm going to go in with the eyeliner
in the inner corner like I did on the other eye.
Okay. Now I'm going to take this glitter that I use
on the other side too, and just swipe that over.
So now that the eyes are almost done,
before I can get into the, all the face artistry,
I have to do a little highlight
a little finishing of the contour, just all the little steps
before you can start drawing all over your face.
(pop music)
I'm gonna do my lip.
That's the artist we were going to do.
I'm gonna wipe off
any disgusting artistry that is left.
(pop music)
I literally always do a black lip
just 'cause it's my neutral. It just is.
And just as I overdraw a lot, because I mean, girl
even though I have a little bit of filler in my lips,
not nearly enough.
Okay.
It's cute shape
that we have going.
This look is a polka dot look,
so obviously, so it has a mixture of skin tone
polka dots and black polka dots.
And there's a skin tone polka dot here,
so we definitely need one on the other side.
So I'm going to put one here,
and it's going to paint this right over the top.
'Kay.
One!
(pop music)
Okay. So now I'm going to set it.
I'm just going to use translucent
for right there because we love translucent.
(pop music)
Feels pretty set to me, baby.
I'm going to put a black one on my face.
(pop music)
Hm.
Stunning.
(pop music)
'Kay, love that one.
A smaller one here.
(pop music)
That was a fun one.
And put a skin tone one on the other side.
Over here.
(pop music)
I can't believe how much easier this is
than how I did it before. Like, jeez.
So there's going to be another giant black polka
dot right here, but I need to do that with the wig on,
because it's all part of the same judge.
So I'm going to do that off camera.
Just so you're not confused where that polka dot came from.
Okay, you guys, we are almost there.
The next step to kind of finish this judge
off is lashes,
and fixing this eyeliner.
So let's get to that.
So I'm going to mascara my lashes,
because they are covered
in white powder and it's disgusting.
(pop music)
Now I'm going to go back in with my eyeliner,
and just fix that liner that has literally fully come
off in that amount of time that we were doing the eyes.
(gentle pop music)
Okay. So now I am pretty much
done.
I just need a put on this lash.
For real, for real.
These guys are gorg and I buy them on Amazon.
So,
thanks, Jeff.
(snorts)
Yeah, I use weave bond to put on my eyelashes just
'cause my lashes are far too big to ever use a normal lash
product. Like I full,
if I forget my weave bond at home
I won't get in drag.
Like there's mhm.
And all my friends are like:
"Just use normal glue."
I'm like: "Mhm, not possible."
Like I'm not having my lash.
No, I won't do it.
So we bond or nothing.
Uh, I look cool.
(upbeat music)
And I just put it in the inner corner and then
I take the end and put it where my natural crease is,
so it goes up.
Okay.
Starting up
In her corner and placing it up my crease.
(upbeat music)
Now that I am pretty much done with my face,
I am going to set it.
And I like to use like a dewy setting spray
because everything is so powdered
and matte that I could die about it.
So, need to bring the life back into my skin.
(bottle spraying)
Yes!
Okay, the mug is finally beat and complete.
So I am going to go finish this polka dot, and get dressed.
See you in a sec.
(pop music)
All right you guys,
I am finally done
with my 'Top Four Best Drag Polka Dot Fantasy'
artistry look, whatever you want to call it.
And,
I'm obsessed.
I feel like it turned out so good.
It might not be exactly how it was done
but it's close enough,
and I'm living.
Um, like I said, at the beginning of this,
this is kind of the first time I got to go
in with my makeup and this is really close.
The closest I did on the whole show
to what I would do off the show.
So, I'm really proud of it,
and I'm so happy I got to show you guys how I did it.
Make sure you follow me across all social media
platforms 'Gottmik' on literally everything.
So it shouldn't be that hard
to see more stuff like this.
'Cause I do this all the time.
So I'll see you there,
and thanks for watching.
(pop music)
(makeup brush drops)
Oops.
