Drag Queens KimChi and Noami Smalls Collaborate on a Desert-Themed Makeup Line
The beloved duo infused their love of bright colors and runway glamour into one truly versatile collection.
Their respective personalities and styles couldn't be more different, but drag queens KimChi and Naomi Smalls have remained best friends since season eight of Rupaul's Drag Race regardless. That's nearly five years of "laughs, love, friendship, and glamour," as Smalls describes it — and this week, the pair will release a collaborative makeup collection that perfectly reflects their opposites-attract friendship. With KimChi's eponymous beauty brand that launched last fall, the duo will launch the 2 Queens In 1 Desert Collection on July 16.
The first-ever makeup collaboration between two drag queens, this collab features an eye palette, a cheek palette, and two liquid eye shadows, all with KimChi Chic Beauty's accessible price points and intense color payoff. Here's a quick look at everything in the collection
his 24-shade eye shadow palette comes packed with just about every eye shadow shade you'll ever need — both neutrals and brights in matte and shimmering finishes. Half of these shades were hand-picked by KimChi and the other half by Smalls, giving it two extremely distinct personalities in a singular palette.
With two blush shades and two highlighters, also hand-picked by either queen, the Sunkissed In June palette covers a huge variety of skin tones and can be used all over the face and body. Use it to contour, add quick definition to an eye look, top off your lip gloss with a little extra sparkle, or bring all the attention down to your collarbone.
