What Drag Race Winner Symone Buys at the Drugstore

I recently found out about her because I ran out of my other one, and I was like,I just need something quick and easy.Sometonerscan kind of dry out your face. This feels like I’m putting moisture back in. It’s the second thing I do.

How could we not love them? I’ve been using thesewipesfor at least five years. I love that they don’t dry out the face. You only have to use one, maybe two, to get your makeup off. I really enjoy that because, before these, I was using half a pack before I could get everything off my face. They have the blue (fragrance free) and purple (nighttime) packet; either one of those are great.

I recently had to be in drag for over 24 hours, and something in my spirit told me to pack thisfoundation. I can now say the “30 hours” is true. It works. My skin looks great. I have never gotten more compliments in my life.

[Editors Note: Symoné’s exact foundation is being discontinued, but it’s available from a vendor on Amazon.]

I like that she covers, but she’s not too thick and she blends out very well. I wouldn’t say watery, but it feels light. She conceals the dark circles. Not that I have them, but if I did. She goes really well with the Maybelline foundation but also with other things. I use this one first and then Pat McGrath on top of that. Then I’ll go in with the Patrick Starrrconcealerbecause I like to use different shades to blend. Maybelline has a really wide variety of shades, and they’re really good. They give you the cools, the warms, the neutrals. It can be a little difficult for us girls, but they have a really good variety, which is why I usually go to Maybelline when I’m in the drugstore.

I like to shine when I’m in drag. I like my skin to look like I’m wet. I’ll use the baby oil after I get out of the shower, but then if I’m performing or getting onstage, I’ll use the baby-oil gel because that is where the shine is really at. The cocoa butter one smells nice. That’s my trick.

I’m going through my matte phase because it’s summertime. I like to use this to put the radiance back. I don’t like my makeup to look too matte. I like to look like there’s some shine and dimension. This does a really good job without making it look too dewy, which I also don’t like.

If you have a hard timetaking your makeup off, I recommend this. This is for when it’s a serious problem and the makeup just will not come off. I try to use it once a week to make sure my skin is clean.

It was the perfect nude. There’s a warmth that I really, really enjoy, and the closest thing that I’ve been able to get is from Fenty. I love the consistency. It wasn’t too sticky. It made my lips look so big and full. It’s a pigmented gloss, so I would line my lip and then put that on and then that’s all I had to do. They discontinued it. I hate when that happens. NYX, if you’re listening, bring it back or just make one for me.
