drag makeup
Queen's painted face
Drag makeup is the theatrical cosmetics worn by drag performers, characterized by bold exaggeration—dramatic contouring, heavy false lashes, vivid lip colors, and techniques that reshape facial features for stage visibility.
The style emphasizes transformation rather than natural enhancement: Her drag makeup took two hours to apply.
The term sometimes extends to any dramatically overdone makeup look.
