Courtney Act, the world-renowned drag performer and musician, knows how to give great face. Today, she’s sharing her cosmetic talents with Rookie! Even if you don’t try out her techniques, watching her precision (and taking in her totally sweet commentary about her work and the causes she loves) is highly recommendo. So too is her OTHER new video, “Body Parts,” which is the inspiration for this look to begin with! Enjoy x 2 (or x as many times as you like—the wig, brow, and contouring tutorials she references in the following video are all rad):
