Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “Charlie Brown drag” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I saw some stuff online about drag queen makeup and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” Not to become a drag queen or anything, but just to see if I could pull off the look. It’s way harder than it seems!
Getting Started
First off, I had to gather a bunch of makeup. I raided my sister’s stash and bought some extra stuff from the store. Foundation, contour, highlight, eyeshadow – you name it, I got it. I felt like I was preparing for a major operation or something. It’s crazy how much stuff you need for this!
The Process
I started by watching a few video tutorials online. These queens make it look so easy, blending and contouring like it’s second nature. I, on the other hand, struggled to even get the foundation to match my skin tone. It took me ages to get it right, and even then, it looked a bit off. But hey, I kept going.
- Foundation: Finding the right shade was a nightmare. I ended up mixing two different ones to get something close.
- Contouring: This was the hardest part. I tried to follow the guides, but my face just ended up looking like a muddy mess. I had to wipe it off and start over a couple of times.
- Eyeshadow: I went for a bold look, but my blending skills are, well, non-existent. It looked more like a colorful bruise than a smoky eye.
- Highlighting: This was fun, but I probably overdid it. I ended up looking like a disco ball, but at least it was a sparkly mess.
The Struggle
The whole process took me about three hours. Three hours! And the result? Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly “flawless.” My lines were all over the place, the colors didn’t quite match, and I definitely didn’t look like those glamorous queens you see online. But you know what? I had a blast doing it. I laughed at myself a lot, especially when I tried to draw on those dramatic eyebrows and ended up looking like a cartoon villain.
Final Thoughts
I gained a whole new level of respect for drag queens. This stuff is hard work, and it takes a lot of practice and skill to get it right. I might not be ready to hit the stage anytime soon, but I’m definitely going to keep practicing. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll actually look like I know what I’m doing. For now, I’m just enjoying the process and having a good laugh at my attempts.
So, if you’re thinking about trying out drag makeup, go for it! Just be prepared for a challenge, and don’t forget to have fun with it. It’s all about expressing yourself and getting creative, even if you end up looking a bit like a hot mess. Trust me, it’s worth it for the laughs alone.
