First time in drag makeup 🕷️🥀
I had never done a more masculine makeup look before that included facial hair and heavy contouring, so I gave it a try for this event 😈🖤
I used what I had from various brands for the foundation, contour, eyes, and lips - next time I want to be more dramatic with the contouring, as this time I went a bit softer with less in depth shading. I also need a proper white foundation, as for this event I just used the white pigment mixing stuff that NYX sells.
It was so empowering to play with my expression in this way and it won't be the last time >:) #dragmakeup #gothmakeup #vampireaesthetic #westerngoth
