This is THE BEST tutorial on stage-appropriate masculine makeup that's not over-the-top flamboyant or cartoon-y. Adam All surely has a huge extended brotherhood across the globe who share a family resemblance. A thousand thanks, Jen!

I stumbled upon this vid while looking for male cosplay makeup. I tried doing the darker foundation technique and LET ME TELL YOU SIR ARE A PIONEER!!! Its changed my life!! Its given me the nicest base ive had in YEARS!! you've gained an instant subscriber!! ❤❤❤

Epic! 💗💗💗

❤

I would just recommend lowering the volume (and intrusiveness) of the music for next time, I could hardly understand a word you were saying :( do you know why they were called "mashers"? I actually found this video because I'm trying to do research about Victorian England stuff surrounding the whole "hatpin panic". I didn't realize it intersected with Queer history, which is both delightful and suspicious because all the other things I saw referencing "mashers" were just saying they were random dangerous people running around in the street harassing people.....so now I have to figure out if they were claiming the crossdressers and other queer people were going around attacking people, or if the Queer people were conflated with the people attacking people like bigots do today.................. and all of this is research so I can make a summary of Edwin Abbot Abbot's book Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, for people who are too lazy to read the book or its 2024 translation.

i always loved drag queens and kings idk when i started liking them 🤷‍♀️ but we got our first drag king at my favorite bar an i got excited. he is the best , im friends with him i asked the queens n the king will it be okay if i dress as a drag king for Halloween an they said yes and the drag king name robin he is going help me with facial hair. i love to dance n wanted to be a drag king but idk how to start . i will cry once im dressed up cause it be a dream come true dressing up like a drag king. if anyone comes to Cape coral fl come check out cruisers. we do need more drag kings tho . i love the make up thank u . i think Robin wears make up I'll have to ask .

so... so many pants 😭

Seems like a lot of work to look kind of.. bad.. no offense..

Hi Adam, i saw you in Munich! It was soo awesome! 😍 thank you so much!

So helpful and engaging. Thank you!

I will never forget Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo in drag. ❤❤❤❤❤

Love the subject matter, but agreed the music needs to be mixed down quite a bit. Love you Love Drag Kings tho

But WHY is it associated with "Homosexuality"? Homosexuality is being sexually attracted to the SAME sex, and not wanting to be or have sex with the OPPISITE sex. That would be Transsexuality or Heterosexuality, respectively. Cross-Dressing is generally a heterosexual activity, the subject finding opposite sex clothing a kind of sexual fetish. Yes, many drag kings and queens ARE indeed gay , but what are we dealing with here? Is it just a clever ploy to attract and perhaps fool same sex sexual partners? I doubt that would work very well, and, besides if they wanted gay sex dressing like the opposite sex would be "fishing with the wrong bait". Somewhat of a mystery here, or did mass sexual confusion reign in years back where Homosexuality, Transsexuality and simple cross-dressing were ALL thrown into the same "Basket", so to speak, as being variations of the same thing? Even today many people are STILL confused and think gays are "men who think they are women", etc.

music is way too loud :/

This is brillant and precious ~ Victor and Victoria was actually such a révélation as a kid! Thanks for thé beautiful archive work 💖

I've been using eye shadow as contour! 😅 Thank you for helping me know that that's okay. Your makeup looks absolutely amazing!!!! Also, my drag name is Adam too!

Thank you for giving drag kings some representation!

I change my King Drag name to Cereal Guy. Sounds better. This tutorial makes a difference.

So basically we do the opposite of the Queens.

Hey there appreciate your tutorial on this as a very new on training for stage Drag King. Iam old an bold to hopefully eventually bring drag to Humboldt, Ca. Cereal Man the ole lesbo❤

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Had no idea where to start with this and you're so great for putting this up.

This!!!!! ❤💖💞

Absolutely wonderful, before and after ❤❤❤

LOVE!!

Few things to adapt to my triangle little face and to my own personnality but I impressed my best friend at the first try. I'm humbly on my way now! Thanks you very much for sharing. Love from France. XXX

I learned a lot! Thank you. I am dressing as an emcee for a Disco murder mystery party I am hosting. I won't be able to be that realistic, but hoping to suggest a male character. My first time as a "drag king".

Ps. This IS my first drag makeup tutorial. Thank you I am so impressed!

I love it! I did follow along. And its a sign of maturity not to care what others think. You go girl...guy!

Really good 👍 reminds me of Randy Rainbow 💖

You are the reason I've gotten the courage to sign up for my first open stage night as a Drag King. Thank you so much Adam. For everything. This video has been on repeat for a couple of days now.

*jots down notes*

I’m doing my first full drag act tonight and your tutorials are a godsend. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Very handsome! Thank you❤

How do you know how long to cut the strips?😊

I was a Divo in 95. No makeup. Ever. Now, I am back in the game, and WOW things are different. As one of my top 3 fave kings, I came to you specifically for makeup tips and found that I love you more than before. Keep doing you. You are ALL. 😉

I love the Freddie Mercury realness.

Listen carefully when it comes to precautions for not ripping your skin, fellas! I had to learn the hard way..

Omg thank you so much for this tuto.

wow. strong franz kafka vibes

I would like to add one caveat to the "no rules in makeup" make sure that product ingredients are eye safe if used around eyes. You would think that anything meant to go on your face would be ok around the eyes, but that isn't always true. There are many products that people use in ways they aren't meant to be and that is fine if you read the ingredients. Certain things that are not sold as eye products are still used by many people all over, and most never have issues, but I found because I got into face painting that certain pigments are not supposed to be used around the eyes, while you can certainly risk it, if you have any sensitivities, please be careful with your eyes, they are so important, stained skin comes off eventually, even break outs are annoying but will usually heal, but eye inflammation and damage can really be a long term problem even just once. So please be careful.

*were assigned at birth, not "are assigned at birth". otherwise a great video! masculinity is def just as important as femininity is, and many times stories like these are brushed under the rug because masculinity is labeled as the "default". keep spreading awareness, king!

I love this so much ❤❤❤

I really love that you start the contour with the foundation level. I am definitely using that and so many other techniques in my drag. ❤❤❤❤
