I mean no hate what so ever with this comment, i'm just trying to learn cause well I like knowing stuff :3
Why do people who do drag wear such immense amounts of makeup?
If the goal is to look like a girl wouldn't "natural" makeup be a better idea? Or is it not the idea to look like a everyday girl? Honestly I know nothing about drag and I really am just curious cause it fascinates me :3
well drag is supposed to be dramatic. we're not trying to look like "an everyday girl". i can't speak for all of the queens since drag is such a huge art form and people have different motives. usually femininity plays a part in drag but it's not about looking like a woman or whatever. transformation is a big part and you can achieve that with heavy amounts of makeup. most of the time femininity plays a part in my drag but yeah i don't really care about looking like a human. and yeah don't worry about it i hope i was able to explain this to you =)
So it's like stage makeup? To create a dramatic effect, not so much to look like a girl/woman/female but to express oneself through a feminine character?
