Special Offer

Downtown-Manhattan drag queen extraordinaire Kevin Aviance projects such a vivacious approach to life, it shocked even jaded New Yorkers last June when he was hospitalized after a gay-bashing incident. Fortunately, he has healed, though he’s still singing the blues… and metallics, and fuchsias, as we recently learned after a peek at his makeup table.

1. MAYBELLINE NEW YORK GREAT LASH MASCARA IN BLACK “There willnever be another Great Lash! It binds my naturally curly lashes to my fakes.”
2. CHANEL ROUGE HYDRABASE CREME LIPSTICK “Creamy and mesmerizing.”
3. NARS BODY SMOOTHER CREAM “After I was attacked, a fellow black queen brought this to me in the hospital. They know how I am about my skin.”
4. MAC BRONZING POWDER “What I use to tie it all together, from lashes to legs.”
5. MEHRON METALLIC POWDER “The trick to a last-all-night metallic mouth? Spread platinum powder on lips and layer on clear gloss.”
