Meet the Drag queen ROASTING Republicans with viral Trump & Matt Gaetz makeup tutorials

Since creating that first TikTok tutorial, the 24-year-old aspiring writer and actor has also made videos teaching viewers how to recreate Matt Gaetz's terrifying Republican National Convention look, Trump's signature orange glow (which has already garnered nearly one million views at the time of publication), and Rudy Giuliani's sallow skin and runny hair dye.

"It's trolls being racist or completely ignorant because what are you going to say? My Donald Trump makeup looks exactly like him," Reid says of the conservative backlash he's faced since his videos went viral — the drag queen even did a Kamala Harris tutorial to prove to Republicans that you can recreate her makeup without resorting to blackface. Aside from the MAGA crowd being terrible (what's new?), the drag queen says the response has been overwhelmingly positive. "I think a lot of people just enjoy having a good laugh because, let's face it, we've all known what these men are doing to their faces is absolutely ridiculous," Reid says.

But this isn't merely a roast of Republicans' terrible makeup application; it's also an incisive commentary on the hypocrisy of a political party that claims drag queens are grooming our children and gender-affirming care should be a crime while at the same time coating their faces in layers of pancake makeup, bronzer, and eyeliner.

In a tongue-in-cheek way, Reid starts these tutorials by telling the audience that they know conservative men will want to learn how to create these makeup looks. "Yes, I'm a liberal, but I am reaching across the aisle in the name of bipartisanship to help you all in your gender-affirming care journey," they say.

This isn't the first time Reid has used his social media platform to dunk on the Republican mob. He also has an ongoing funny story-time series aptly called "Creepy Conservative Men Who Come Into My DMs Because They Think I'm A Woman." And Reid — dubbed "America's most eligible housewife" — has been fighting against dangerous right-wing rhetoric with drag queen story hour on TikTok Live every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Of course, not everyone is pleased with this.

You would think experiences like these would turn someone into a cynic, but Reid still has hope for the November election. "Liberals get very hung up on perfectionism as opposed to tiny steps that are better than what we had before," the TikToker says. "Is Kamala Harris a perfect candidate? No, because we're never going to have a perfect candidate. Is she significantly better? Absolutely. And is voting for her going to be so very beneficial for queer people, for women, for people of color? Yes, it will."

Next up, Reid is focused on breaking into Hollywood, but also plans to continue their makeup tutorial series for "as long as it's amusing me" and has a video teaching people how to achieve former Trump advisor and current Donald Trump Jr. fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle's…dramatic makeup already in the works.

When faced with a political party as diabolically evil and anti-LGBTQ+ as the Republicans, turning to smart and hilarious satire at the hands of a practiced drag queen will keep you laughing instead of crying!
