(#1) Miss Fame
Miss Fame, of RuPaul's Drag Race fame, has a signature move to keep her contour right: hold the head of a dense, angled brush to apply your contour shade. She explains, "This keeps your contour soft and diffused, rather than thick, heavy, which can age a face quickly."

(#2) Valentina Talks True Color
RuPaul's Drag Race alum Valentina has a genius tip for getting the perfect lip color. Before applying a vibrant lipstick, cancel out the natural tone of your lips with a nude formula and apply color on top of that. "I eliminate my lip color using an Anastasia liquid lipstick in a light beige tone and then I apply my lipstick over it," Valentina confirms.

(#3) Violet Chachki
Violet Chachki's trick to bigger eyes? " I just cover my entire natural lid with eyeliner, up to my crease. Then I go in under my brow bone and draw in a new crease. You have to play with shadow to create the illusion of a new eye shape." Yes, queen!

(#4) Lessons In The Perfect Cat Eye From Honey Mahogany
Honey Mahogany isn't afraid to get physical to get the perfect cat eye. She explains, "To help stabilize my hand, I rest my elbow on the table and then place my chin in my hand to draw the line. To get the point of the cat eye, I use the outer corner of my eye and the end of my eyebrow as reference points: The line between those is the angle of the wing." Slow and stable wins the (drag) race!

(#5) Darienne Lake
Drag queen Darienne Lake is resourceful with her beauty routine - in a pinch, she'll swap out her primer for lube! "I found this great makeup primer, and I read the ingredients. I realized the main ingredient is also the same main ingredient that’s in my lube! It’s the same exact stuff - dimethicone... So sometimes I’ll use just a drop of lube on my face as a primer or in my hair for silkiness. Lube as a primer makes makeup just glide over your face so smoothly." Would you try this trick?

- Celebrity
According to Morgan McMichaels, you don't have to be so precious about keeping hairspray off your face. "People say, 'Don't ever get hairspray on your face!' but with everything else, the smoke, dirt, air, it doesn't much matter," McMichaels swears. "I use hairspray to set my makeup."

(#7) BenDeLaCreme
They don't call it "face paint" for nothing, right? Absolute QUEEN BenDeLaCreme takes the phrase literally: "I love to use those sponge paint brushes to apply makeup because you can get a hard line by using the edge and a soft effect by using the sides. I buy them at Lowe’s or Home Depot! I use it for foundation, for shadows, for everything," she says.

(#8) Joslyn Fox
A former RuPaul's Drag Race contestant, Jocyln Fox, knows a thing or two about faking bigger breasts. Her secret? It's all about what she calls the three-minute boob job: " The same way you contour your cheeks and eyes, those same rules apply for your chest. So you put on your best push-up bra, you take some bronzer, and you follow the McDonald’s arches on your chest with a big M shape. Then you highlight the front of your boobs and highlight in the middle of your cleavage and above the bronzer. The more shimmer the better for your chest bronzer and highlighter. That’s not so true for your face, but it works great for your boobs."

(#9) Jujubee
- Drag queen
RDR finalist Jujubee swears that it's what you do before and after applying lipstick that makes for a good lip look. Pre-lipstick, Jujubee exfoliates and softens ("I use a warm towel and some vitamin E oil, and I rub it in circular motion on my lips."), and post-lipstick, she adds a dap of gloss to the center of the lips ("I sometimes apply lip gloss just to the center of the lip to give it a little shine and volume").

(#10) Aja's Tip For Drama-Free Drag Queen Lashes
Aja from Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race doesn't do the full fake lash thing. Since her eyes are on the smaller side, fake bottom lashes overwhelm her face. Instead, "I strategically place a few cut up lashes under my eyes," she says. To open her eyes up even more, Aja lines her bottom waterline with white liner.
