Whats the best makeup for a drag queen @ sephora?

I wanna go to Dragcon LA (i know, already planning lol). Anyways, I wanna do a drag look, but I don't have to proper materials yet. Also, can someone tell me how to do faded brows for drag queens??? Here's some examples of the look(s) I wanna do:

I have had the pleasure of doing drag make up on folks in store (I'm an employee! ^_^) For foundation I would go with some of the most full coverage we carry, the the Marc Jacobs concentrate or even Cover fx Custom Enhancer Drops. You han invest in a contour kit with shares that can also double up as eyeshadows (for cut creases and nose contouring) Eyeshadows you need heavy impact shadows so pure pigments or high performance glitters. The Stila Magnificent Metals are amazing on stage and shadows the Sephora pro palettes are amazing. I would use shadows from ABH as well, they are pigmented. Brows definitely the pomade. Hands down. Lashes you're kinda out of luck at Sephora. We carry some amazing editorial lashes from MUFE but none would be big Enough in my opinion. Lips whether Stila or KVD. Since you will be overdrawing your lips you'd wanna steer away from glosses and use a matte lipstick.

What a great suggestion! If you're looking for a full, glamorous volume style - we'd recommend our styles Fluff'n Whispie, Strut It or Fluff'n Dolled Up! What's even more amazing is the fact that those unique styles are layered and have a 3-Dimensional look! Check em out and enjoy 🙂

Re: You could definetly stack some Velour lashes and get some...

Yes, velour lashes are amazing! My only thing with these for drag is that: 
1) too expensive for performance (as you need to stack them and they run about $20 something per pair), because of the sweat and heavy duty lash adhesive you would need will tear them up fast.
2) They can be big and editorial, but I find them too small for a drag queen who has more masculine face (as in larger and bigger heads). Folks with more proportionate feature and smaller heads can pull them off tho for sure.

I can't offer much product advice because I sure don't know how to do those amazing looks, but wanted to wish you luck!  I think youtube may be the best starting point for ideas/tutorials!  ❤️   @dvlan

I don't know about drag queens, but you're going to need theatrical make up to pull off the blue look. I personally like Mehron, but ben nye is great too.
