Why I love make-up by Charlene Collins.
Whether in or out of drag, make-up is a powerful tool of self-expression and a way of affirming my identity in a sea of conformity. Since starting drag, I have been able to experiment with different styles and approaches, allowing me to find and amplify my own creative voice on stage (and in the last year, through digital performances, too).
Celebrating make-up is something which makes perfect sense to me in the context of Pride, which is all about shouting your individuality and queer identity as loudly as you possibly can. Whether I want to feel powerful, glamorous or left-field, there’s no better way than painting my face.
