Gender-fluid pop musician Dorian Electra doesn't prefer to use makeup to cover things up, but rather to create looks that allow for self-expression. In the video, above, Electra tells us how the queer and drag communities helped them figure out how to use makeup in a way that makes them feel more comfortable. (Hint: it involves a lot of brightly pigmented eyeshadows.)
