1. A good contour is EVERYTHING
Contouring is an art form in itself, so pay no mind to detractors who say it’s “faking it”. Besides, anyone who can change their facial features with just makeup is skillful and deserves to be applauded, OK?
2. Don’t be afraid to show off your fabulousness
It’s the “walk into the room, purse first” philosophy. Find out what makes you feel gorgeous – it can be a Chanel purse or a body part you really like – and werk it. For example, just look at Detox and her revealing runway dress (google it!).
3 “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”
There’s a reason why RuPaul closes every episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race with this quote. And let’s be honest, we all have a girlfriend who could use this advice.
“I’m proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are... be relentlessly you.” – Lady Gaga
