Hi Guys & Dolls!
One of my favorite things about makeup is the way it can transform you, create a mood or make you feel like a different version of yourself. One of my favorite ways to alter my ego is with a slightly gothic-drag style of makeup. Not 100% on-point drag but what I like to call girlie-drag: Bold eyes and lips and completely unapologetic about it. My voice drops into a lower register, my movement is more fluid and every turn is drama, drama drama. I teased my facebook fans on Tuesday with a photo and it seems many of you like this type of dramatic makeup. Someone even said they were turned on. Some said it was “too much”. To both comments I would say “exactly what I was going for”!
Now for the bad news: long story short I messed up and forgot to turn the audio recording back on, so there is no “live” intro or exit for this video. When I discovered this I was so gutted because I explained the difference in mood in the video and I just knew you guys would have enjoyed it! Boo! Luckily Halloween is around the corner and I have quite a few “vixen” tutorials planned ^_^

I love this look. I especially love the purple looks. That is a HOT color! Really gorgeous eyes, too.
Oops, that’s supposed to be ‘purple lips’ not ‘purple looks’
lol! I gotcha! Fervent was a great lipstick I wish they would bring it back!
You are freakin amazing Cora! I’ve been following you for about a year now, and you have inspired me to actually want to look beautiful and to not just try to blend in. Thank you! Keep being fantabulous!
Rock on! Hearing how I’ve inspired you re-inspires me!!!
OMG I LOVE THIS!!!!
Freaking FIERCE!
so cute=]
I love, love, love this look…I have hooded eyes so I can’t pull this off…and BTW I’m in the “it turned me on” category. Super sexy look!
What brush did you use to highlight your face ?
Gorgeous look,btw.
Amazing!!! <3 YA! 🙂
This look is gorgeous and amazing in so many ways!!!
I freaking LUV this!!!
Lipstick look amazing!!! 🙂
This is soooo beautiful! I cant wait for your Halloween videos! Ps its my fave holiday!
this is amazing! I love it!! that purple lip just adds the extra drama to it, absolutely love! <3
This was AMAZING! My favorite look by far! The purple cheeks and lips really amped it up <3
looooooooooooooooooooooooooove!
This is so great. I really would love to see more tutorials that include bold contouring …it’s just so unexpected.
I noticed for a while you stopped using Urban Decay’s primer. Is this because of the rumor that they would be selling to China, and if so, is it safe to assume they have decided against that?
Love the look. I so wish I was pale enough to pull of purple contour. <3 And rainbow eyes are awesome. I love how perfect your makeup always is. I can't wait for the day when I am half as talented as you are.
Hi Briana
Lucky for us UD lovers who are concerned with cruelty-free brands they decided against selling their product to China. Yay!

Cora the look is simply stunning!
Ugh! Wrong link sorry: http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-decides-not-to-sell-in-china
You’re so awesome! Love the look! You kinda look like an evil Disney queen that got farted on by a rainbow 😀
i love how when you just look at the eyes you think ‘oh cute girly rainbow eye’ then you see the full face and are like ‘WOW!!’ its definitely not what you expect 🙂 😀 <3 u cora
LOVE
Hullo! I love how daring you are, it’s definitely inspired me to try bolder makeup combinations. Though, I don’t think I’m brave enough to try the lip colors you use quite yet! Keep doing what you’re doing 🙂
Ab Fab! esp. cheeks + lips! OMG, think this one is my fave. Also think that @#$%! is probably pronounced “FUCK!”
This is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I just bought the burning heart palette.. Did my first look today!
Take a look! I talk about you in my blog. LOL!

Hello. I’m a little late commenting on this video. Love the look =) =) =) I was wondering what earrings you were wearing in this video? They were really nice and I would love to know where you got them from. Thanks for great videos. //Keta
A MAZING! Out of this world beautiful artistery! 🙂
This is such a bold & fun look. I am in love with the lip color. I am so sad to have looked it up and find that the color was a limited edition lipstick no longer available, and is going for $30-$40 on amazon & ebay! Yikes! I love it, but not that much. lol
