Bunny’s teleported from her day job as a gogo dancer on Laugh Inand is “touching up” her lipstick because she was doing “vocal warm ups with a male staff member.” And the joke wrote itself so I won’t have to. Ru just moves on.

Every party has a pooper that’s why we invited Ru.

This week’s lesson is about getting kissable lips so we’re back to unemployed porn actors posing as “beauty experts.”

Why do I feel like every word should be said with air quotes?

Mary wants plump lips so “Brandon” “Liberati” “Makeup” “Expert” tells her to start with a nude lip liner to accentuate the natural curve then fill in with the liner to act as a primer. Then apply a natural color to the whole lip and finish with a high shimmer gloss in the center of the lips to create the pout.

Amber wants to know how to minimize her fuller lips. “Brandon” “Liberati” “Makeup” “Expert” tells her to apply the lip color inside the natural line, using a darker matte shade, then apply the liner just inside the lip line.

Finally, Sinead wants a vampy, red lip. “Brandon” “Liberati” “Makeup” “Expert” says to choose the shade of red based on eye color. Light brown, hazel or green should choose an orangey shade of red, blue eyes should choose a “Wonder Woman” red (HELPFUL!) and if you have dark brown eyes choose a berry red. Then apply the red lip liner to the whole lip as a primer before applying the color.

And that was the Lady Lesson. Now, a word from President RuPaul:

The more you know.

FILLER! Sinead…next! Mary’s scared so Raja gets sweet with her telling her she’s going to do this then focuses on the cape. She thinks capes are very special and wants to teach Mary how to work it with some flair. And if anyone knows how to work a runway it’s Miss Raja. And it would seem that Amber fibbed a little when she said nothing fit. Turns out she’s just more comfortable in pants and Sharon tells her the only way she’ll win is if she faces her fears. Then Sharon tells Amber to trust her because she’s never wrong.

Mary’s lurching around in a blue and white satin robe and Raja about gets the vapors at how ungainly she is. Meanwhile Sinead…next! Raja’s explaining that when one foot goes forward the opposite shoulder goes back and it’s all so effortless when Raja does it. Mary, not so much.

Maybe if her robe didn’t weigh 300 pounds she could walk better.

Raja interviews how to walk and is sashaying better in her seat than poor Mary does on the floor. This prompts Sharon to sally on over and make the clown joke that got repeated into the ground in all the previews so onto the Everyday Drag makeovers.

    Great recap as usual Vallegirl!

    I get what your saying about Pandora; I J’dored her on season 2 of RPDR but lately it seems like she’s trying too hard to be the funny queen. I hope this trend doesn’t continue into the AllStar season…

    Sinead was absolutely insufferable. I liked her at first, but as soon as she stepped out onto the runway, any goodwill I had towards her instantly left.
    Like…oh my god, I don’t even have words.
    At the end, when Ru was doing his final speech about driving shit down sorority row, I wanted to reach into my screen and strangle her because of her stupid faces. I can somewhat understand what would drive her to be such an annoying ass on the runway, but at that point, the competition was over and she won. She should have just been normal. Her nails were banging though.

    Adam was cute as hell…I like Candis and Jamal too, but Adam needs to be the dean of dance every week forever and ever amen. His butt was so perfectly round. I need to locate a straight version.
    The “makeup” “expert” was also more adorable than past “experts”, except for Rami.

    I wish Geneva was my brother. I want to shop with him and I also want him to help me bedazzle my clothes.
    Why does my brother have to be this way? :(

    I loved how the “makeup” “expert” sounded like he didn’t understand a word he said. “Shit, what was my line again?”

    Totes with ya on “whatever” Sinead, Chaos . . . ugh!!! I did think she was the ringer, but Amber’s make up was so incredible . . . Jennifer Hudson, am I right? Didn’t love the pink wig on Geneva, but loved hu! I wonder if she’s tried out for Drag race.

    Valle, look at you, pulling out Mimi Imfurst . . . hee . . . I had to think about that for a few to figure it out. Sinead was much worse, probably the worst, and it’s a shame, as there was potential for her to be funny, too much too often too open wound . . . I do wonder if they know who’s going to win before everything takes off.

    I wish none of these chicks would ever complain about the shoes ever again . . . so boring . . .

    For my one stint in drag, the very pro queen who was doing our make-up did that to my eyebrows . . . Frikkin ridonk . . . sigh . . . I do not make a pretty grrl.
