About this Event
Primping with Peach is a skill-sharing class for trans people (and their allies) who want to learn more beauty techniques, specifically in makeup and wig styling! From more natural, enhancing makeup for both feminization AND masculinization to intense drag looks to daily wigs to crazy, specialized wigs for cosplay, you can learn a wide range of different styles and techniques to make you feel your best self and keep you safe if you need (passing, etc).
Please bring any and all makeup/wigs you have/want to use! We will be providing makeup cleaning supplies as well as some other brushes and sponges for application during the makeup classes, but cannot promise makeup product to be available for use. Peach will also be teaching basic sanitation techniques, but not all makeup is shareable! He will also be providing a list of affordable but amazing products so if you’re not sure where to start with buying makeup, you can have a reference!
DAY OF COVID TESTING REQUIRED!
Peach will be asking to see proof of negative COVID test before letting people in the space! If you need help getting tests (and masks), please reach out to @maskuppgh on Instagram! Thank you for keeping everyone safe! In hopes to provide a COVID-safer environment, we are partnering with Clean Air Tools PGH (@cat.pgh) to help purify the air! We will have an AirFanta 3Pro (300sqft) and a Levoit 2 (50sqft) provided by CAT PGH! Thank you so much Clean Air Tools PGH for providing this FREE resource!
INSTRUCTOR BIO
Peach Leigh (he/him) is a transsexual, gender non-conforming man whose life-long passion has been beauty and fashion. Always enjoying the more extravagant things in life, Peach has been doing very intense drag makeup since he was a little scene kid in middle school and kept this burning passion since. He went on to get his aesthetician license in 2018 after being a freelancing MUA for years prior. After transitioning, his focus has shifted more from helping everyone feel beautiful to specifically wanting to help other trans people also feel beautiful and safe.
“I’ve been asked a lot by transfemmes/women just starting their transitions how to do makeup and I’ve never really been able to figure out a way I can reach everyone who wants to learn until having access to this space at Protoype! I want to share this knowledge I’ve been building my whole life with people I adore and honestly helped shaped my beauty. Transwomen/femmes and drag artists have been my biggest influences when it comes to my own drag and takes on the performance of gender, and I’m excited to be able to give back even just a little to this amazing community who has given me so much!”
