Ahead of her new show, Raven shares her thoughts on beauty icons, makeup tips, and yassification.
. Everyone asks me, and she is one of the first things out of my mouth every time I talk about makeup. I just love not just what she does as an artist, but what she's done for herself and for the beauty industry. She’s kind of one of the... I’ll use the word pioneers.. These people who I think of that created these faces or trends in time that you look at and go, “Oh, they did this. That was their face.” So it’s just a little bit of everything.
When I first started doing drag, there were two types of faces I saw: the one where it was the huge cut crease with the arch brow and the brown, pink, and white down the cheek. Then I saw the other one where it was the softer beauty, and I wanted to be somewhere in the middle, where there was that definition, but also that soft beauty to it. So I meshed the two together. When I put on my makeup, I didn’t want to see myself.
What are some of the makeup tips you’ve learned over the years that people could apply to their day-to-day routines? That seems very in line with your whole persona—you’ve always done things your way. You’re not a queen who does Top 40 music in your shows, just because that’s going to get the most tips. The one song I always associated with you is Miss Kittin and the Hacker’s “Frank Sinatra,” which isn’t necessarily your typical drag song.
