11 Drag Queen Beauty Channels To Watch On YouTube
It's a pretty indisputable fact that drag queens are good at makeup — after all, it's a major part of their jobs. Following the best drag queen YouTube channels won't just fill your fix of all things drag, but definitely help you get your own makeup game on point.
While you might not be trying to recreate a drag look to a tee, the skills used going into doing a full face of drag are applicable to anyone who wears makeup. So don't focus on blocking out those brows — unless, of course, that's why you're watching — but pay attention to all those eyebrow tips and tricks. These channels are a goldmine for drag makeup tips that you may not have found elsewhere in the mainstream.
As well as being great makeup artists, these YouTube accounts benefit from having some of the funniest, heart warming personalities on them too. Even if you're not looking to learn anything about makeup or beauty from these queens, these channels are a great source of entertainment regardless.
It can be hypnotic even just watching your BFF get ready, let alone watch a man turn himself into a gender caricature. The artistry of drag makeup is a marvel to behold, all on its own and these channels are worth a watch.

In the wise words of RuPaul, "We're all born naked and the rest is drag." No go forth bring your drag-inspired creations to life.
