Northern Ireland’s most famous drag queen and self confessed ‘Queen of the makeup brush’ Blu Hydrangea took centre stage at Ru Paul’s DragCon at the weekend dishing out her top tips and tricks for the perfect drag makeup.
The Hillsborough star, aka Josh Cargill, who is resident performer at Maverick and Boombox in Belfast was one of hundreds of drag performers who descended on London’s Olympia Theatre for the first ever RuPaul’s DragCon UK.
Blu was one of the highlighted drag artists appearing at the event surrounded by Drag Race judge Michelle Visage and Queens including The Vivienne, Baga Chipz, Bob The Drag Queen and Trinity the Tuck.
Speaking at the event RuPaul said: “DragCon has always been a safe space where people can discover and bring to life their true and unique-self and I am honoured to have hosted this in the UK for the first time. Thank you to everyone involved for making DragCon UK a home for all this past weekend.”
Meanwhile Blair St. Clair gave a full-on Celebrity Drag Makeover to the winner of Channel 4’s The Great British Bake-Off David Atherton, while on Saturday our very own Blu Hydrangea brought her make-up talent to the stage with Blu’s Beats Live X MUA and created the ultimate ‘glowy drag beat’ on TOWIE royalty Harry Derbridge.
On Sunday Blu took to the stage once again with her popular Drag Race “band” the Frock Destroyers who blew the crowd away with their flamboyant rendition of their hit Breakup (Bye Bye) along side a series of well loved drag classics.
Despite her growing fame Blu was praised by fans for her dedication to them over the weekend with one fan tweeting:
For local fans looking forward to seeing Blu in action the Frock Destroyers will be performing at the Belfast Empire on March 13 and 15. For tickets go to jingerevents.comÂ
