How do drag queens/crossdressers show no face hair?

Question

they seem to get the closest shaves. Do they have a shaving speciality or do they have some secret? I know a beginning drag queen and he complains about his "shadow" and it is slightly visible so how can he hide it?

Answer 1

Dermablend makeup helps.

In the Middle East, instead of shaving, men have their face threaded. It pulls the hair out. Ouch.

Answer 2

Drag Queen Face

Here's what you do:

1. Moisturize as part of a daily regimen. And when I say regimen, I mean all the stuff (drink plenty of water, Vitamin E, sun screen, etc...)

2. When you shave, use one of the good razors (like a Mach 3) and a)shave with the grain followed by b)shave against the grain, then c)shave against the grain with a lotion or baby powder instead of a shaving cream.

3. Then you can do one of two things. Use a salmon-colored concealer or color corrector (I first learned of this as a fix for under-eye circles) and apply it sparingly across the area that is dark from the beard OR you can use a foundation formulated for birthmarks and other hardcore discolorations like http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=139414&catid=35524&trxp1=0
Getting the color right can take some practice though. Hint: Start light and go darker.
Follow that up with your normal makeup routine and VIOLA!

Answer 4

I only know a few queens and have only asked one, but here was her answer:

1. Moisturize CONSTANTLY. If you have dry skin, this is going to be a lot harder. (Try Neutrogena, Olay, etc. - a 70-cent brand doesn't cut it.)

2. Shave twice a day.

Seriously, that's the only answer I've got for you. Sorry . . .

Answer 5

Wax, or theres this thing called "The Tweeze". Its a thing that painlessly pulls the hair from the roots so theres no stubble or shadow.

Answer 6

Its all about the Nair baybuh
