Is there something in particular
that you've always wanted to know about makeup?
Yeah, so contouring.
Oh, so hard.
Contouring.
I know.
I know that it exists,
I know that Kardashians do it.
Yes.
Not really sure how it translates to someone like me.
And you don't want to end up looking
like The Warriors, right?
Exactly, yeah.
(laughs)
I'm not, you know I'm early 30s,
and like I want to be able to do it
but I have no idea how, and when and--
This is a good basic, everybody struggles with this.
I mean, I think as queens we get asked about contouring
all the time.
All the time.
Yeah, we do.
All the time.
So um, I'm gonna do a little trick,
'cos you look beautiful Sherry,
and I heard that you do events, is that right?
I do, yeah.
So you're probably someone who has to work
during the day in set-up, and then be at the function.
Yeah.
So, I think day to evening is something
a lot of people can relate to.
Right, right, right.
So this is a way to take your beautiful face
and just go a little, a little more to turned up
for night time.
Gotcha.
Turn up the volume a little bit.
Exactly, so,
a drag queen hack,
is taking an index card,
and we're gonna use this to map out on the cheek
where we're gonna sculpt you.
So I'm gonna start, and I'm not using,
you know, when I cut my cheek this morning
I was using something a bit darker.
I'm gonna start with like a nice soft brown,
and you can see I'm getting a lot of it off
on my hand first.
That's a great tip.
Yes.
Don't go straight to the, to the skin.
Not straight to the face.
Right, right.
So I'm gonna use this, I'm gonna line up the index card
right in the middle of Sherry's ear,
and I'm gonna point it down towards the bottom
of the apple of her cheek,
and I'm just gently--
So you literally hold the card there.
It's a stencil.
I see.
Just a little trick.
You're stenciling your face.
Paint by numbers, honey.
I love that!
And in one quick step,
you've got it mapped out, yeah.
(applause)
and now, Rachael?
Yes baby?
From here we can go a little,
now that we've got it mapped out,
we can come in and kind of like punch it up a little bit.
Just following the stencil.
Just following, and then the way we finish this.
Couldn't you do this all day?
I know.
I'd leave with like 87 layers on.
Bottom of the stencil.
(laughter)
I'd look like a butterfly.
Yes!
And then, you know, I also recommend bringing contouring
up into the hairline.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right up into here.
'Cos you wanna, you want it to look like it
sort of came out of no-where.
(laughter)
It washed over you naturally.
And then, you know the way we finish that off,
is 'cos you don't want to just have
this sort of line dark line on your face.
Blendy blendy?
Then we finish it, yeah,
you can always buff it out with a larger brush
if the bottom line is too strong
you can always buff that out.
Gotcha.
And then the way we just finish that
is with like a little pink blush,
right on the apple of the cheek.
And then.
Sassy sassy.
(laughter)
We wanna, if we wanna do night time,
I like a little bit of shimmer,
because why not.
'Cos sparkle, baby.
Nice.
And that goes right into that.
(applause)
