My struggles with eyebrows have been well documented over the years.

Who could have predicted at the turn of the century that one of the biggest (if not the biggest) trends in makeup would be contouring?

As someone with a longstanding and deep love of a shine-face, powder blush has always been somewhat of a problem area for me.

Take your makeup love to its logical conclusion via a sensory attack on all fronts. Smelling like old ladies' handbags and young ladies' dressing tables and powder puffs and lipstick bullets has never been so easy as it is right now. It’s the scent family I call "makeup perfume."

Being a Drag Queen isn't one-size-fits-all femininity. Not all real life women are glamorous and fabulous at all times, nor should we feel we have to be.

There is literally no disadvantage to being confident. It’ll make you happier, more successful, a better friend, a better person.

Let this idea appeal to your insubordinate nature: the world wants me to not like my face, so guess what? I’ve decided I like it. Take that, world!

For a long time, I suspected that primer was a bit of a swizz. Makeup to go under your makeup, you say? Sounds very “Emperor’s New Clothes” to me.

Inside everyone is a little bit of a Francophile, right? French things are just good and that’s that.
