- What up world, its me!
Yes bitch she might
be Widow Von'Du,
from RuPauls Drag
Race Season 12!
And today I'm going to show
you how to my entrance look.
'Cause bitch that's the
first time you see me!
(delicately laughs) Watch me
go from all of this to this!
My first step is
always my eyebrows,
because a bitch aint got none,
and that is always
my focal point.
I like to either draw my
brows on to look like,
I'm an angry bitch so
you don't talk to me,
when I'm walking on the street
trying to eat a sandwich,
(comfortably giggles)
or I paint them like,
Yes bitch I'm having a good
time! (agreeably laughs)
The first step of any good
eyebrow drawing for me,
is shave those bastards off!
I haven't had eyebrows
for four years,
and it has definitely
been a great decision.
I'm going to start
where my brow bone is,
or where it should be.
One line first, so I can
know where my start point is.
And also pray to God that
I don't draw to high.
Well bitch, close.
Their like distant cousins
one lives in Alabama,
the other one lives
in Upstate New York.
I can't seem to put
my eye makeup on,
without having brows
drawn on first.
Someone was like "You
should probably try,
drawing your brows on
first it might make,
your eye makeup look better."
and I was like "Bitch my
eye makeup don't look good?"
and so that's how I just started
drawing my brows on first.
They've always been thick
they've always been black,
they're just like me.
(joyously giggles)
As a big girl who dances
it was always complicated,
to not like have the glue
crack when I'm dancing,
and when you start to
sweat and all of a sudden,
oh there's my real brow showing.
I usually do have a
full set of nails on,
'cause I do about
six shows a week,
and it's just kind of a hassle,
to glue on nails all the time.
And when you're doing flips
and splits they pop off.
At least with a full set of
acrylics you know I'm good for,
I'm good for awhile
unless I get drunk,
and I smash my
hand on something.
And there's one!
(confidently laughs)
There I think they're
on what y'all think?
Now that our brows are on,
it is time to put some
highlight all through here,
cause we're going to start
painting our eyes first.
And then everything else
just fills in the blanks.
Get whatever highlight you use,
and just spread
that shit all over.
This is also my handy
dandy trusty mirror,
I've had this mirror
for several years,
it's been with me ever since
I was doing drag as a kid,
when I was homeless,
I would always paint
my face in this mirror,
it was the only
thing that I had,
painting my face next
to street lights.
So I keep it as a reminder
of where I've been,
and that if I just keep looking,
my future will always
look back at me,
and say bitch you're ready!
Widows drag exegetic
I like to say,
it's a ratchet ass queen
with a high class fashion.
Basically I like
to wear all fancy,
but talk like a common
whore. (confidently laughs)
This look kind of brings
it all together for me,
'cause from here up
it's real classy,
and then I'm wearing
from the waist down,
chaps and my ass is
out. (politely giggles)
Now that we got
out highlighter on,
it is time to jump into
some eyeshadow colors!
So we're going to take what
I think this color is called,
'Honey' honey honey,
and we're going to put
it right under here.
And then we're going to
blend it with my next color,
and then some more
colors and some glitter.
The fastest I've ever
put my makeup on,
I put it on in
twenty six minutes,
the longest it's ever taken
me is actually this look.
When I first did it cause
I woke up hella early,
and I was like I'm going
to take all the time,
three and half hours
I just sat there,
and I was like I'm
going to go real slow,
make sure its perfect.
My regular face takes probably
like an hour to put on.
Cut off a lot of time when
we don't have eyebrows.
Now that our highlight is on,
our color right under our brow,
it's time to jump in to
something a little more fancy.
Now where the hell is my brush?
Oh you're going to hear that
a lot through this video,
"Where my brush at?"
(Confidently laughs)
Oh also I'm using purple
cause I love this color,
I'm using a light
purple dark purple,
and like a good ole lavender
to blend it all together,
and lots and lots of black.
Just being on the show actually
my face has gotten better.
Basically I went from
using cheaper stuff,
to using more high quality
stuff and it feels like,
my face feels a
little bit better,
my brows feel better the
colors that I'm using,
they feel more smooth now so
I always say to everybody,
invest in your craft
bitch upgrade your stuff,
don't just keep
using the same stuff,
cause "its worked for 12
years" try something new.
I used about three colors
three different purples.
Always start with
the medium one first,
so I can get a good
base on where how high,
I can go with the next one,
and how low not to
go with third one.
Cause you don't want
your eyes to look,
like they're drooping you
don't want to look tired,
or maybe you do bitch I don't
know, your life, look tired.
I get my influence from like
the Queens of Kansas City.
There is a Queen back home,
named Mulan who's
also my husband,
who taught me how to make
my brows look better,
taught me how to blend
my colors better.
We both been doing it
about fourteen years,
he made all of my
costumes on the show,
every single one of them!
Even the ones that we
had done for promos,
for our Ruveal he's
done all of them.
And now moving on
to our light purple,
to blend it in to our
highlight color ah.
'Cause you do not want to
look like an unblended bitch.
Now it's time to move
to the dark purple,
as soon as I find
what the brush!
I hope y'all like
my painting smock,
I got one of these
in every color.
Off to the dark purple.
I can definitely say
since being on this show,
my face has gotten
a lot shinier,
looking at some of
the girls on the show,
they were always so
highlighted here,
and all up here and I was like,
well bitch I want to look
like I'm shining in the dark!
Like I want to walk in
to a dark room, and bam!
You know I'm there, Oh!
Well my normal routine
is I'm usually,
listening to some music,
smoking some cigarettes
or something else ah,
a little sspt
every now and then,
so my hands don't feel so
shaky when I'm doing it.
Right now we're just,
putting a little more
of the highlighter on,
so that we can
fix up the crease.
Bitch I might keep this
face on and go out tipping!
Go out and see some people,
go to the grocery store.
"Can I get a pack
of bread please?"
Actually right before
I came out here,
I went to the grocery
store by my house,
'cause I was trying to make
spicy chicken sandwiches.
And I was like I really
don't want to go,
all the way to the
house get out of drag,
come back out in the cold
and go to the damn store.
So we just drove by
and I just got out,
and ya know nobody
looked at me weird,
yeah they just all waved
and told me I was pretty.
And I was like well we
are definitely living,
in a different day and
age cause I was expecting,
somebody to call
me out of my name,
and I was going to have
to use my man voice.
Now I'm not saying go
to every grocery store,
but there's at least
one in Kansas City,
you can go to that no one
will talk to you about.
And we're doing back
to our brow color,
mixed with a little highlight.
Our lid as they would say.
And just like that
ladies and gentlemen,
them and they and
all in between,
the first part of my
face is almost done!
Oh bitch she looks
pretty already!
And she didn't even
did anything yet.
You gotta love yourself bitch!
Now we're going to move on,
to one of my favorites
parts of my face,
putting on some
highlight up here,
and here and here
and round here.
I also don't paint
all the way down,
because if you notice I have
tattoos all over the place,
and as much money
and time and pain,
that I went through you
gon' see these marks.
Oh she looks curious
she looks curious girl!
I think the way
that I do my face,
is a little different or
weirder than most people,
I feel like I do everything
kind of like backwards.
I don't really get
a chance to see,
a lot of other people
paint I paint at home,
when I'm in Kansas City.
What's my favorite
word in this tutorial?
Where the hell is my brush?
Right now I am
putting on my base.
And I kind of just
draw a bunch of lines,
like I'm fingerpainting,
this is the next step get
your handy dandy sponge,
and then just blend
that bitch in.
And now is time to
put the highlight on!
I've been doing drag
for thirteen years,
and I don't wear like
the black lip liner,
I don't don't do garage
door eyeshadow no more.
Now I have a crease I
have some highlight,
some contour lashes nails.
I mean I learned how to
make myself look prettier.
I think the mug got to the
level of my performance,
'Cause my performance
was always real high.
I'm a big girl that does a
bunch of tricks and flips.
Making that nose look
thinner, nice and thin.
We're moving on to contour.
My contour is usually a
really dark dark brown,
I think this one is deep
ebony, 'Deep Ebony'.
I just use the cream to
give me like a point of,
what's the word I'm looking for?
I'm trying to sound smart,
let's just put it this way,
we're gon put this right
here on my cheekbone.
Makes her look snatched.
Oh see, see the difference?
I don't know if you
can really see it,
but see I how put
that on my nose,
looks a little more
smooth more clean,
I used to use black
eyeshadow for my contour,
and it looked like
somebody punched me,
in the side of my
face and I bruised.
Ah all right now time
to put on our powder.
In all the spots where
we put on our highlight.
You see how greasy I look?
The powder is to make sure
you don't look so greasy!
And yes I'm going to
powder over my brows,
to just smooth out the color,
so they're not as dark.
And then we're going to
put on our Neutraset.
Neutraset is a colorless powder,
I know it shows up
white right now,
but it just shows up colorless,
so the brown that I put on
for my bass still is brown.
Then just dust all of it off.
It is time to
contour with powder.
Take a dark brown powder.
Oh look at that cheekbone!
Oh y'all not ready!
Yes!
Look at that nose look
at that nose bitch!
Time for some highlight!
You're going to see me
highlight like six times,
in this video 'cause I
like to be what, shiny!
I also do it right above my lip,
to bring out my cupids bow.
Then we put the rouge on,
I'm going to cover up the
first set of highlight,
and now we're going
to add more highlight,
on top of my rouge.
Now we're going to
go back to our eyes,
and add our black eyeshadow.
I'm still using black
eyeshadow for my eyeliner.
I try to get my lashes as close,
to this little piece right here,
where the end of the brush is.
I wanted to wear nails on
the show the whole time,
but I wasn't sure what all
was going to be thrown at us.
And I didn't want to be like,
'Oh my god I'm
kind of helpless.'
Cause you know with
quick changes and stuff,
I was like I cannot be
trying to slide on pantyhose,
real fast with stiletto nails.
So now it's time to move
on to doing my lips.
Making them look all muah.
I overdraw the top
part of my lip.
One part I was
worried about doing,
in front of all you lovely
people, big ass lashes.
And now I'm just adding
some purple underneath,
to blend it in
with the top parts.
And the final step y'all!
Is we're going to put a little
bit of this glitter gel on.
A little bit here and a
little tinch right in here.
Yes the mug is beat the brows
are on the lashes are stacked!
It is time to go get dressed!
All right y'all this
is my entrance look.
I love it because this
is the first time,
that I walked into
the room and I knew,
a bitch was in the building!
I'll see y'all on
the road muah kisses!
Get into it the
feathers 'cause she fly!
