Newbie Drag FAQ

[mushumushushoe]

The last time I saw one of your videos - you were lovely. Now you're downright gorgeous, so, omg dear, you look fab, and the FAQ is very helpful, so, thank you so much.

[Boleyngirl7]

Blanche, you're looking great!!! :)

[patrizioh22]

@perfection202. No drag queens don't want to look as feminine as possible. The reason queens use so much makeup and such big hair is to exaggerate the way a female looks. There's a saying in the drag world, covergirl don't cover boy. Which basically means it takes a lot of makeup to transform a mans face into a female looking face. The purpose of drag is to entertain, not to look like a real woman.

[perfection202]

Hold up, don't drag queens wanna look as feminine as possible? If so, why all the make up? Go light with a more realistic wig.

[MsKinkyDinks]

Can I just say, you're adorable. :)

[MissSymphoney]

Blanche, first off, thank you for your videos so very much. They are informative and it's also fun to watch you grow and transform through them as well.

Regarding root lining a wig yourself, and wig styling, Misty Eyez (MistyinFL here on youtube) has some excellent wig styling videos and a root lining one. I do like Misty and use more than one wig and bump it up. It saves on all the teasing to get your hair all jacked up to the sky.

Keep up the greatness that you are!

[rathami]

I am (sadly) not a drag queen but I just adore watching your videos!

[sashaqueenie]

I love the way you talk. Slow and smooth with a bit of a drawl. You should be celebrated and toasted.

[MissRickiLynn]

Can I girl do drag?

[almightyswtness]

Don't listen to that CharlotteJamz person. It's just plain rude, even if this was everyday wear to try and look like a woman you do what YOU like and screw everyone else who wants to try and bring you down!

[DivaJacobs313]

I love your makeup. I need to spend some time watching how you put your make up on. it looks great.

[CharlotteJamz]

No offense hun but who would want to do makeup like you? You should tone it down, maybe you'd look like a girl then..

[BlancheBabcock]

@CharlotteJamz Oh offence hun, but I am not trying to look like a girl. I am trying to look like a drag queen. there is a difference. This makeup is for STAGE. Not for trying to pass as a woman.

[CharlotteJamz]

@BlancheBabcock Yea so then what are drag queens suppose to look like? Women. It's almost disrespectful. Just saying.

[tylert1137]

@CharlotteJamz -sigh-. Drag Makeup depends on the persons style as well as their area's lighting. If you have a bright white spotlight on you you may can do more natural makeup but if you are in a dark dark bar then you will have to paint more heavily. I like the way Blanche paints...If you want more feminine makeup then go watch Petrilude,Xsparkage or someone else.

[josh82000]

@CharlotteJamz Drag Queens are not suppose to look like women. Drag Queens and and women are 2 completely opposite things. Drag Queens are characters and drag is and EXAGGERATION of the female form. Drag Queens do no want to look like women or pass for women. Those are called Female Impersonators, not drag queens. I believe you have the two of them mixed up.

[zendelem]

@BlancheBabcock screw the haters. you look FABULOUS! <3

[greatbitch8891]

@CharlotteJamz just shut up .Your ignorance is out of this world 

[bmiller151]

Is there anywhere you can buy the TV sticks like in person? Because I have no clue what my shade is while looking on the computer >.<

[BlancheBabcock]

@bmiller151 I have never found anyplace. Maybe at the Kryolan store in San Francisco.

[kourtneeadonomere]

Can u do my make up

[kourtneeadonomere]

U live in Houston yaayyy

[IbleedPnk]

Love ur videos!!

[missmadejavu]

I love the face you make when you talk about a product that didn't live up to your expectations. :-)

[TheKillerCub]

Why does everyone keep saying that they can't find pan stick. It's everywhere in Las Vegas. You can buy it buy the case nearly everywhere and every major online make-up retailer has it.

[VictoriaCreeper]

Wow you wear a lot of layers! Don't you get hot?! I used to wear a lot of pantyhose I can't even imagine wearing them again.

[sarahlouiseduran]

how do you get a mac pro card? and what is the card used for?

[smiletone]

Is it expensive to pay ppl to style your wigs>?

[BlancheBabcock]

@smiletone well, I buy the wig prestyled. It costs $70-$150 per wig.

[persontoki]

Do you use stage makeup?

[BlancheBabcock]

@persontoki What do you mean stage makeup? The brands mentioned Kryolan and Ben Nye are both theatrical makeup.

[persontoki]

@BlancheBabcock I'm sorry, I posted that comment before you mentioned that. Haha.

[Jadeohio]

Thanks Blanche for the advise on the krylon paint stick. I just ordered some Pan stick, but it is rather expensive for .5 OZ. Its like 15.00 a stick on e-bay now , unless you buy 10, than it is 10 Bucks a stick (did not want to dump a 100 on it). So I will look for this Krylon. Now I got some ben Nye stuff off the bay pretty cheap, but only one dealer is selling the 8 Oz translucent, the store is a Power seller and ships FAST. Thanks for the Vid Sis :)

[thepinkbeenie]

Misty Eyez has a good vid on how to tease and "root-line" a wig

[BlancheBabcock]

@thepinkbeenie Yes, I have seen that one. I forgot to mention it though. :/

[soleildj]

those jars that they sell of the translucent powder, are they the big jars that you have in your video?

[BlancheBabcock]

@soleildj Yes.

[graycious3]

THANKS for  sharing your wonderful info

[jinxitbitch]

you are so gracious and kind! such an inspiration of mine

[KattZomB]

Misty Eyez has a how to make a root line

[itsmemanduh]

i listened i lovede it... da darlink

[xrainandwhispersx]

The dark palette from Urban Decay is a great one for strong blacks. :)

[raleighsobroke]

Endless is a wonderful website!



[CMaddoxBiitch]

You got me addicted to NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil ages ago. I use it EVERY single time I get in drag. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

[BlancheBabcock]

@CMaddoxBiitch YAY, I am glad you like them. :D

[musicdfined]

Mistyinfl is her name on here:-)

[musicdfined]

Misty Eyes has a tutorial that shows how to do a rootline wig and how to style n all that:-) her name is like mistyeyesfl or something-I don't remember

[rainbownails818]

blanchee girll i cant affor certain brands....but what store brand would u reccomend?

[sweetfuckingchrist]

Drugstore:

Loreal Hip makes good gel liners

Covergirl makes good eyeshadows, especially the quads

Revlon makes awesome nail polishes.

[sweetfuckingchrist]

When did Blanche stop being a redhead?

[RoofieOnTheRocks]

Blanche!!! Surely you've tried MAC's Black Black pigment? It can't possibly be any more black, and one jar lasts even longer than most pigments because you CAN'T use much. If you're not careful your whole face ends up black.

I'm lucky that my inner diva is a hot mess. I can just buy discounted Halloween wigs online and tease the heck out of them (You're too sweet for me to curse in your comments.)

[A7Xspazz]

how did u get a mac pro membership? do u have some sort of schooling?

[BlancheBabcock]

@A7Xspazz You don't need schooling. MAC Pro is a paid for membership. You just have to show professional credentials. I used a playbill listing me as makeup artist. A business card listing me as makeup artist, and something else...I cant recall.

[20012000leo]

Please!! How do you buy Kryolan products ??? i went to the web page and they don't have prices and shopping Carts..

[BlancheBabcock]

@20012000leo I have a link in the description.

[ncinnkeep]

Watching ur mug evolve has been pure bliss for me over the past year or so. You are serving a serious beat these days, and I LOVE it. Inspiring as usual, thnx 4 the upload !!!

[singinglawnchair]

Another good black eyeshadow is Sugarpill's Bulletproof, as well as the black in the Greed palette from Wet n' Wild.

[ansbach74]

Thanks for sharing. Have you order any products from {[frendsbeautysupplydotcom]}? if not check out that site. This site sales a wide range of high quality products, make up and all the necessary tools.

[BlancheBabcock]

@DanielCaswell75 Yep, work it. ;)

[mangomarvels]

love you blanche 

[Midami422]

How do you keep your makeup looking flawless in this Houston humid weather that is about to come up? Thanks!

[BlancheBabcock]

@Midami422 Powder is your friend! re-powder often.

[ollicehunter]

@BlancheBabcock Do you re-powder with loose or pressed, or does it depend? I really only like pressed powders for blush/highlight, but I always set my makeup with loose powder. I hardly ever apply more powder though, I stick with blotting sheets.

[HarajukuEthan]
