WYCON BOM JEAN

Author Simon Laudati

Erase everything and start from scratch. Make your face into a blank canvas that is ready to reveal who you are. Who you want to be. Outline your best features, emphasise the traits that distinguish you and diminish those that don't. Go out and show the new you to the world, to other people: break out, be different, feel different, and be proud. Bom Jean, one of Brazil's most sought-after drag queens, believes "it's alright to be different". He is also the fourth face of WYCONIC, a group of special WYCON collections dedicated to rule breakers and their stories. This collection takes us to a glittering, eccentric backstage setting: sequins, lights, shiny saturated colours, high heels, and costumes, wigs and disguises that aren't made to conceal but to make you feel comfortable in your own skin. Bom Jean has not only personally chosen the colours, palettes, and make-up products to go in his beauty case, but also the names, as tribute to the songs of his greatest idol: Lady Gaga. Bom Jean often successfully dresses as the singer, who is fairy godmother to all her "little monsters" that are learning to accept and value themselves. Perfect Illusion - named after one of the American singer's latest hits - is a full coverage foundation that works perfectly with the Love Game primer.  The eyebrows, a key element of a drag queen's look, helping express their character, can be drawn on using the Just Dance shades after applying Eraser Miraculous. For the lips there are dark, defined shades that contrast the skin tone and are embellished with glitter, from the Nudy & Danger lipsticks. Must haves for all divas, on stage and in real life, are the Penelopy Gaze false eyelashes,which pay homage to his stage name.
