Makeup works wonders Hon.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
Actually, RuPaul looks more feminine dressed in man clothes and without makeup than most of us could ever hope for dressed at our feminine best.

Over 50! Wow, I wonder how I'll look? Oh...I am over 50, by 6 years. Usually people think I am in my 40's when I an out. Three coats of barn paint do wonders...MOw get off my lawn you little scamp!
BTW, RuPaul has had some work done so don't sweat it

Lot's of money can do wonders. And, I have met a few of the local TV news folks in person. None have looked as good as they do on TV. LIGHTING is critical for any type of pictures/mags/video etc. and I am sure the show spares no expense in this regard. Also, a "great many" magazine covers are heavily photoshopped [especially female cover shots] according to numerous sources.
Not trying to be negative but those are the FACTS and I doubt if anyone but RP knows the extent of any "work" he MIGHT have had done.
I tend to agree with every else, its the makeup

ITA...Not to be unkind, but has anyone ever see Oprah without her make up on (such as those candid shots of her and BFF Gail on a recent camping trip)? This kind of sums it up:Originally Posted by Kate Simmons

Okay ex-wife comment (sorry). I never saw my ex without makeup during the honeymoon phase. The first time I saw her without makeup I was like ughh..then I knew why.
I've noticed that sometimes they will use a lens filter to make things a little blurry. And the opening of the show just uses still images that have probably been photoshoped. And I'm sure Rupaul has a team of makeup artists on hand to work their wonders. But other than that, she still looks good for her age. Makeup and special effects can't do it all. And some people just age different from others, genetics and how you take care of yourself are important.
Makeup and a little pin and tuck help but yes Ru Paul is well preserved.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Does the term Plastic Surgery, mean anything to you, I'll bet Rue has had at least one face lift, and many of the pro's use surgery to feminnize their looks.

God Tina. You are so right. I suppose that all came natural looks.b.s.
Ru is rather slim. Being slim ALWAYS helps in looking far better femme, and for any woman, tremendously in aging.
Rupaul does look very good for her age. I passed that age a few years ago too. Make up does do wonders too. Yes Leslie, I saw that episode with Oprah on the camping trip. And when she awoke the next morning, had I not known it was Oprah, I wouldn't have known otherwise. I bet Oprah could go out to a local market with no make up on and probably no one would recognise her. Love Oprah.
One of the things that struck me when I started dressing completely is how much younger I looked in makeup and without gray hair. It makes going back to drab rather distressing!RuPaul has this advantage, probably some surgery, and the benefit of the best makeup and photography people around, along with the retoucher's magic!

Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
[SIZE="4"]Actually I don't think RuPaul looks all that good, and I never watch "Drag race". Sorry, but this bunch of Drag Queens are way too over the top for my tastes. I've met a few local DQ's and they're nice folks. Maybe all the drama is for TV, sort of like OCC, but it just turns me off completely. Would rather watch the history channel or silly old Charlie Sheen in "2 1/2 Men". Now that guy is truly good looking and his comedic timing is impeccable. Well written show, too bad it's over. No, I don't give a hoot what Charlie does off screen.[/SIZE]

Best way to look better after 50 (and I am 57) Turn off the light lol
he should thank photoshop or whatever software is used on those pics as well.
In her book “Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style” she reveals her secrets. I admire her but would not go to the extremes she does to crossdress.
