While the sentiment is certainly appreciated, this is an embarrassment to the art of Drag. This video clearly shows there was either no budget, no real knowledge of Drag or just a way to capitalize on the popularity of drag. Next time hire drag queens to do something speaking on 100 Years of Drag Makeup. This $1.98 budget isn’t it. And that’s being generous on the budget.
Totally agree. They should’ve let the queens they hired to model do their own makeup... or hired drag makeup artists if they wanted the painting on camera... I live in NYC and have seen three of these queens and they are absolutely fierce, and incredibly talented, and I’m sure they were mortified...
I mean gluestick was not invented until the late 1960s and we're not used worldwide for makeup until the late 70s soooooo if you look closely in all the drag post 70s they all have blocked brows
As a drag queen I’m highly offended by this video. You should’ve had a drag queen makeup artist not someone that looked at drag pictures. Horrible application! Horrible execution! Bad video! needs to be redone and someone that knows their way around a mans face to feminize and apply should do it. So upsetting :(
I’m so sorry this is awful! I feel like all of their videos are not accurate, they should for sure have a professional doing their videos because they always end up offending people for disregarding their culture (which is totally reasonable)
@@reyna9038 Oh they did, they really did. There was quite a drag community in the 1890's and before that! I read a book about it- I can try and find some representatives of that era in particular if you want me to!
Im sorry but for a drag content video these makeup artists are so bad at there job. Like please. Its about drag get some serious prof makeup artists. These makeups are unacceptablr
It miiight be because drag was for a stage. It wasnt these peoples whole personality like how it is now. Drag was a job not a lifestyle. And men then were still men... Not these floating monstrosities we see now
LOL THE RUPAUL ONE HAD ME ROLLING RuPaul looks like a goddess on the screen. Girlll I know everyone is *dragging* the makeup but, it was really just laughable.
Very informative but the title doesn't make any justification to the make ups. They are all hideous! they should've gotten real drag queens to do their make ups! or maybe they should've guess drag queens instead. smh.
Trixie and Valentina should have been here too, let's be real the eyebrows of Valentina and Trixies makeup look and Ravens legendary MUG are iconic and shaped the future of drag for years to come
Sasha being the prime queen of 2010's is a dissrespect to a lot of other queens. Yea, Sasha is amazing, but when I think of drag in 2010's my mind doesn't go to Sasha first.
their videos never meant to be accurate, but yes they do tell history in a cool way, u just stop being spoiled, u certainly don't represent the majority of drag queens thro history that fought for real things and would appreciate their struggle during that times being told in this video
@@diajle1710 it's bad quality though. What does it have to do with the fights by the drag queens? Their makeup is better than that, if you look at picture, more extravagant. And if it's not supposed to be accurate, what's the point of making a video showing decade by decade how people dresse
oh Drag makeup is the most fabulous of fabulous..... couldn't you have found a makeup artist who knew what they were doing????? The 1950 model slayed as she sat down...... what you did on her was underwhelming.... I call for a do over.
I'm sick of these comments, P don't take in the possible factors, like they could've tried but no one would do it, they might no have been paying enough or no one was available. These things do happen
@@casswashwash1070 well sometimes those things do happen, they were probably on a timer-type thing and had to get the video out. Why does nobody think about the more realistic situations and have to project so much hate
None of these looks were executed remotely well and they missed so many details in all the queen's faces. At least learn to block out brows and beards well.
I’m loving the reference points and the education side, but those make up jobs are an insult to our craft. How hard would it have been to hire an actual drag queen to do the make ups? Very, very disappointing
This is highly embarrassing. You’ve just done a complete disservice to the art of drag. Drag is stylish, beautiful and deeply personal and must be treated with the utmost respect.
Until the era of Nell Gwynne, females on stage were Sasha Grey, not Meryl Streep. Men did all the parts for serious theater. Don't think the men on stage didn't get campy with it---THIS was why Shakespeare limited womens' roles in his dramas in ways he didn't in his comedies.
As a drag Performer and Makeup artist - this is very unprofessional. And i am not even blaming the MUAs here case just because you are a Makeupartist doesn't mean you can do drag makeup. I dont want to know how much time they had and how much you paid them. Also most of it is not historical correct. And drag kings exist too.
WOW the poor makeup and hair just got worse throughout. It's a bit disappointing to portray drag that way, an industry where performers take pride in creating the feminine illusion. All you did was paint them yellow and chuck some glitter and a wonky winged liner 🤣
the fact that to wong fu thanks for everything julie newmar was not mentioned in this is criminal. Noxeema, Vida and Chi-Chi (though they may had been fictional drag queens) had little 6-7 year old me wanting to look like Noxeema and run around the house with feather boas and metalic lipstick.
Clearly these “artists” were too lazy to do any research. I don’t mind so much that the make-up and hair was unflattering and amateurish, but there was absolutely no sense of period.
The makeup artist had self admittedly “never done drag makeup” If you’re going to co opt a culture Allure, at least pay it proper homage by doing it right.
I'm soooooo pissed off, those hair and makeup (especially hair), look absolutely nothing like the photos you're showing. Literally everyone in the comments is telling you that you are doing it wrong
Lol right?? Like the visible lace on the lace front wig XD. The point of a lace front is so the hairline doesn't show and even then, if they're going off of historical accuracy, it's highly improbable that queens in the 1950s would have access to a lace front. Other than Hollywood/ Broadway, they only became accessible in the last 10 years, if that.
For those who disliked because of the offense when using drag makeup wrong, thank you. For those who disliked because you hate drag and you're homophobic, get a life.
Omg calm down everyone is entitled to opinions, but you just need to calm down "get a life" is very rude and really you shouldn't be saying that to people because it can take tolls on ppl with bad mental health. So please just don't go around being rude to people like this it isn't right, so please calm down
It is painfully clear none of these men they dressed in drag saw what they looked like with the make up on until they walked off camera. Otherwise they wouldn't look so happy. Especially if they were actual drag queens.
I don’t hate this video but there are a lot of things that could’ve been done differently. Firstly, maybe have a drag queen to do the makeup? For me as a queen, I find that my face is more extravagant that “normal” beauty makeup. It’s as if beauty makeup is water colours and drag makeup is acrylic paint. You can use a paintbrush on them both but you require different skills to master them both. Second, this shows a very closed view of the drag community. Men dressing up as women or more traditionally feminine. Drag was hugely influenced by things such as the club kids movement, ballroom, rupaul, and the trans community. We have so many wonderful performers that do drag so I believe that it’s very one-sided to not mention those influences in a video titled “the history of drag”. Lastly this video reminds us that somewhere in the world, it is always 5’oclock
1:06 The way he walked in with such presence and confidence... You know that thats a drag queen. Flawless. Her too: 1:55 i love them so much😍 edit: omg her tooooo im obsessed 2:38
The tidbits of drag history are so interesting and I am glad that you're using your platform to discuss them. However, I have to add my voice to the chorus to say this makeup application is TERRIBLE. Not a single brow blocked well, terrible foundation, visible facial hair, droopy lashes, YIKES! Such a disservice to this art form, particularly when a handful of these icons are still alive and well.
Love the sentiment of the video but y’all really should’ve collabed with actual drag queens for this, just on principle, but also because the eyebrow blocking... horrendous. Redo!
As someone who has been a drag queen for going on 5 years... Try again :( I was so excited when I saw the video title but so disappointed in the looks. The makeup application was horrendous. Truly.
well, even if the makeup technique is awful, I was expecting to see the 2020 decade. You cannot call a video "100 years of beauty" if you basically show just 90 years of beauty.
This is a really depressing representation of the artistry that is drag makeup. I don't know if they just don't give them any time? Or if it was just too out of their wheelhouse? Sad.
I know Allure felt so good having all those POC on set. And I’m proud of you too, but for 100 years of drag - I probably would’ve hired professional drag queens 🤷🏾♀️ I’m no big time magazine exec, but oh God @ 3:39 🤦🏾♀️ It takes a lot to disrespect Divine yet you managed
That makeup ain’t it sis. It’s like they put it on in five minutes while also having no idea what they’re doing. And are we just gonna ignore the wigs?
While the sentiment is certainly appreciated, this is an embarrassment to the art of Drag. This video clearly shows there was either no budget, no real knowledge of Drag or just a way to capitalize on the popularity of drag.

If Pandora says so, I agree
Totally agree Pandora, this is an outright disgrace 🙅🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
PREACH QUEEN!
Did no one teach these makeup artists about blocking brows or how to put makeup over your facial hair??
guess they were in a hurry
Elksie yes so? I’m also a proud bisexual woman with a older brother that does drag.
Amber Zaki True. But I’ve never seen RuPaul looking that rough 😂 And lady Bunny
I mean gluestick was not invented until the late 1960s and we're not used worldwide for makeup until the late 70s soooooo if you look closely in all the drag post 70s they all have blocked brows
The wierd wierdo Veru true. They could be trying to copy how the makeup was done back then. But still they look ROUGH 😂
Y’all couldn’t get a drag queen to do the makeup?
3:21 There is a drag queen 🤦🏼♀️
jason is a drag queen. you’ll see him towards the end
Or a talented makeup artist.

Yea...
seeing you here is amazing as heck! i even read this comment in your voice, including flipping your fan. haahhaah

......were made.
Lol🤣🤣🤣
This is “Halloween” drag with really bad makeup and “party city’ wigs.
Me: Allure go back to party city that u belong!
Haters gonna hate 🤷🏻♀️
That Crystal wig was way too flat.
Yaaaas
I think you’re still being too kind
Am I the only one triggered when I see people do foundation and you can tell it doesn’t match their skin tone?
James Charles must be your sleep paralysis demon
I hate it
@@cholompe I- sksjskksjsks
I’m honestly tiggered more than I use to with inappropriate ashy ness of these queens in their makeup
Allure: Let's jump on the drag queen bandwagon. Someone go down to CVS and buy $20 worth of makeup and grab any dude who's there browsing.
💀💀💀💀💀
Apparently these are real drag queens, who weren't permitted to do their own make up and had their wigs wrecked on set.
Maybe get drag queens to do their own makeup bc most of these were horrific.
Do u think 100 years ago drag queens looked soo flawless as they do now
Svgsgn Etujfg obviously not but these.. the wigs the looks the makeup was BOTCHED
T
The only one that’s accurately bad is RuPaul
@@DatVo-tl2dw honey am that is his drag started they didn’t start off pretty these tricks came over time hun

Bad video! needs to be redone and someone that knows their way around a mans face to feminize and apply should do it. So upsetting :(
DeJa Skye Wait isn’t this like history of drag so maybe in the past they didn’t know how to make the face more feminine
I’m so sorry this is awful! I feel like all of their videos are not accurate, they should for sure have a professional doing their videos because they always end up offending people for disregarding their culture (which is totally reasonable)
Let’s talk about the poster for the queen! Absolutely gorgeous! It’s a shame none of the girls looked as fabulous in this video!
Matthew Darnell YES THAT PART
@@reyna9038 Oh they did, they really did. There was quite a drag community in the 1890's and before that!
I read a book about it- I can try and find some representatives of that era in particular if you want me to!
We’re not gonna mention ballroom culture in the 80’s and 90’s? No? Ok werk
Literally thought this exact thing lol
They also forgot the trans women who fought on the Stonewall Riots.
At least they mention Crystal
I know right? Also what about the 80s New Romantic embrace of drag and androgyny like Pete Burns, Boy George, etc.
Absolutely, well said👏🏼
They need some better makeup artists
Im sorry but for a drag content video these makeup artists are so bad at there job. Like please. Its about drag get some serious prof makeup artists. These makeups are unacceptablr
*wrap
i think maybe theyre trying to imitate the amateurish makeup application of the day?
* unacceptable
Btw true they did do a very bad job but there is like no nice way to say it -^-
I think the same, like they don't know how to make this kind of makeup
It miiight be because drag was for a stage. It wasnt these peoples whole personality like how it is now. Drag was a job not a lifestyle. And men then were still men... Not these floating monstrosities we see now
LOL THE RUPAUL ONE HAD ME ROLLING
RuPaul looks like a goddess on the screen. Girlll I know everyone is *dragging* the makeup but, it was really just laughable.
YOU CAN TELL THE GUY FOR 1940S WAS JUST SO EXCITED TO GET DONE UP AW
Isabella Sims FINALLY A COMMENT I AGREE WITH-
Which makes me even MORE upset that he couldn't get a fierce transformstion! Ugh
They're a drag queen in NYC..
She's called Vanna Deux, a working queen in NYC
The drg queens/models were great. I hope they redo this with better makeup.
Very informative but the title doesn't make any justification to the make ups. They are all hideous! they should've gotten real drag queens to do their make ups! or maybe they should've guess drag queens instead. smh.
I'm mad that they didn't find someone that resembled Divine a little more.
I'm appauled. As a drag and makeup artist myself I'm insulted. This was horrific
The makeup here was genuinely awful, I’m sorry but the makeup artists clearly had zero experience. That foundation almost killed me.
the pic of rupaul at 4:47 I'm crying
Your makeup artists don't even know how to pick the foundations to fit the models' undertones...
Trixie and Valentina should have been here too, let's be real the eyebrows of Valentina and Trixies makeup look and Ravens legendary MUG are iconic and shaped the future of drag for years to come
Valentina???
Ikrrrr this makeup is horrible!
Lmao! Valentina just stole Raven's face like any other younger queens.
I'm sorry (I'm relatively new to the LGBT community) but what's mug mean? I've been seeing it in the comments
@@kenkie3173 mug is your face.
Imagine if they did Trixie Mattel
Jay Gatz I hope she does a reaction video to this
LMAO trixie will be triggered by the way they put on her makeup
Oh, gurl, pls don't
I’m sorry but this is so bad, the mug boot, the whole thing boot. The rupaul, lady bunny and Sasha velour MUG BOOT
Divine and Crystal Labeija too
The level of disrespect.
Sellkiies yah them too.
the sasha was the only kinda decent one and it isnt even that pretty lmao
Irelia MY POINT!!!!
Sasha being the prime queen of 2010's is a dissrespect to a lot of other queens. Yea, Sasha is amazing, but when I think of drag in 2010's my mind doesn't go to Sasha first.
This has to be the worst video y’all have uploaded to date
Lithunium Snow LITERALLY.

Are you hating on drag queens
@Lol Lmao he hates on the budget that was given to this video. It looks like they used one pallet for the entire video for whole faces.

Like Tatianna would say: CHOICES.
Category is “100 years of first time in drag”
Please redo this with successful queens doing the makeup. Show the best the community has to offer, not just an attempt.
None of these looks were executed remotely well and they missed so many details in all the queen's faces. At least learn to block out brows and beards well.
Who recognised the Sasha Velour makeup right away? We STAN
These poor make-up people have no clue how to apply drag makeup...We love a droopy lash
All these looks and y’all couldn’t get their foundation matched to their skin tone? Okay James Charles.
I’m loving the reference points and the education side, but those make up jobs are an insult to our craft. How hard would it have been to hire an actual drag queen to do the make ups? Very, very disappointing
Sasha Velour would never step out of the house looking like that
y’all did the drag community dirty 😐 hire REAL drag queens next time, they’ll teach you a thing or 2 about drag
This is highly embarrassing. You’ve just done a complete disservice to the art of drag. Drag is stylish, beautiful and deeply personal and must be treated with the utmost respect.
Drag Culture IS historical 💄
Until the era of Nell Gwynne, females on stage were Sasha Grey, not Meryl Streep. Men did all the parts for serious theater. Don't think the men on stage didn't get campy with it---THIS was why Shakespeare limited womens' roles in his dramas in ways he didn't in his comedies.
Pretty easily some of the worst drag makeup I’ve ever seen.
U got makeup artist that can’t even cover the eyebrows

As a fellow drag artist, I feel very insulted. This is just Unprofessional and truly embarrassing. Could they just get a drag queen to do it?
I see they chose project runway RuPaul as their reference
I am deadddddd

Allure: Gets drunk then looks at drag makeup!
“She is bald and goes without a wig, making her dramatic makeup the focus of her look” did my dad write this
Clearly these “artists” were too lazy to do any research. I don’t mind so much that the make-up and hair was unflattering and amateurish, but there was absolutely no sense of period.
First of all, I KNOW y’all did NOT compare that slack job to the beauty that is Crystal LaBeija!
the divine one was literally insulting. y'all put about 10 minutes of effort into looks that could take up to hours to create and it SHOWS.
The makeup artist had self admittedly “never done drag makeup”
If you’re going to co opt a culture Allure, at least pay it proper homage by doing it right.

OK I’m sorry but it looks like a five-year-old did their make up but also the last one is not what drag looks like today at all

4:38 RuPaul sweetie I’m so sorry 😐
Allure: saw a drag queen once, decided to make a video about drag make-up history.
