Zackary Drucker - Sissy Screens

“Humour is the great unifier,” asserts multimedia artist, producer and advocate Zackary Drucker during our recent conversation in Melbourne. “I think it’s a common denominator—a way to reach people that maybe aren’t sympathetic to the cause.”

Working with Zackary Drucker on makeup for this interview with queer screen culture magazine Sissy Screens was a joy - besides being articulate and insightful, she radiated a gentle, positive energy that complemented the easygoing Sissy Screens team on set.

I had the pleasure of doing makeup for the highly talented and very lovely Zackary Drucker for a cool project with Sissy Screens coming soon.

Smokey gold on the upper lids and deep bronze on the lower lashline, as well as tightlining, really made Lauren’s cat-like green eyes pop. The effect was far more glittering and reflective in the natural light of the mid-afternoon sun. The lipstick was a MLBB (my lips but better) look but actually consisted of a matte liquid lipstick, lip liner, and a small amount of gloss for dimension. I wanted this look to hold for the entire evening so face and eye primers, mascara sealer, and setting spray were wielded with full force.

Max patiently lent his visage today so I could experiment with some products I’d recently acquired and the techniques needed to use them. The first look we did consisted of angelic, radiant, glowy skin with a soft-focus lip. Matte skin is usually necessary on the shoots I’ve worked on, particularly film shoots, so I appreciated the opportunity to highlight liberally. Four different highlighters - liquid, cream and powder - were used for this look.

For the second look we added a radioactive green glossy eye. However, the reflection and sheen of this vinyl-lidded look was hard to capture on an iPhone in natural light. It’s a staple look in fashion photography but I wouldn’t recommend it for everyday wear unless rampant creasing is your thing. Someone needs to invent an eye gloss that sets, stays shiny, isn’t sticky, yet is pliable enough to accommodate blinking...
