Is beard/stubble coverage for ginger queens different?
Hi all! Maybe a stupid question, but I'm looking to start trying out drag, and I've hit a possible colour matching related roadblock.
I'm a natural ginger and also naturally... really, really hairy. It is what it is. Most of the drag tutorials and tips I've seen are from queens who have naturally brown or black hair, and they colour correct their stubble with orange, which cancels out the darker colours. I have a sinking feeling that that does not work very well when the stubble itself is orange.
No amount of Googling has helped me out just yet on answering this - the algorithm seems to think I either want to cancel out brass in my hair (nope) or that I need to be told the usual colour correction colour is orange (this is known to me).
Any natural ginger queens that can help me out here? Is orange still the colour to use when the hair is orange? Or do I have to Statue Of Liberty it out?
Thank you in advance lovelies!
