" Downtown-Manhattan drag queen extraordinaire Kevin Aviance projects such a vivacious approach to life, it shocked even jaded New Yorkers last June when he was hospitalized after a gay-bashing incident. Fortunately, he has healed, though he&amp;#039;s still singing the blues\u2026 and metallics, and fuchsias, as we recently learned after a peek at his makeup table.  1. MAYBELLINE NEW YORK GREAT LASH MASCARA IN BLACK &amp;quot;There willnever be another Great Lash! It binds my naturally curly lashes to my fakes.&amp;quot;2. CHANEL ROUGE HYDRABASE CREME LIPSTICK &amp;quot;Creamy and mesmerizing.&amp;quot;3. NARS BODY SMOOTHER CREAM &amp;quot;After I was attacked, a fellow black queen brought this to me in the hospital. They know how I am about my skin.&amp;quot;4. MAC BRONZING POWDER &amp;quot;What I use to tie it all together, from lashes to legs.&amp;quot;5. MEHRON METALLIC POWDER &amp;quot;The trick to a last-all-night metallic mouth? Spread platinum powder on lips and layer on clear gloss.&amp;quot; 6. JOHNSON&amp;#039;S BABY SHAMPOO &amp;quot;A dermatologist advised me to use it as makeup remover.&amp;quot;7. MAC LIPGLASS &amp;quot;Not just for lips, but cheeks, eyes, everything.&amp;quot;8. SHISEIDO THE MAKEUP LIP LINER PENCIL &amp;quot;Oh God, the lip pencil. It&amp;#039;s soft and goes on true-to-color.&amp;quot;9. YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE PUR LIPSTICK IN FUCHSIA PINK &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no other fuchsia that pops the way this one does on a black girl, honey.&amp;quot;10. RICKY&amp;#039;S FALSE EYELASHES &amp;quot;I own them in every length.&amp;quot;11. MAC PIGMENT COLOR POWDERS &amp;quot;I seal them onto my face with clear MAC Lipglass.&amp;quot;12. STOLI ON THE ROCKS &amp;quot;To take the edge off before a show.&amp;quot;13. MAC POWDER BLUSH IN FRANKLY SCARLET &amp;quot;With this swept from my cheek to the back of my head, I look part alien, part Nadja Auermann.&amp;quot;14. MAKEUP BRUSHES&amp;quot;Got &amp;#039;em all: If I&amp;#039;m feeling heavy-handed, I&amp;#039;ll even use paint brushes.&amp;quot; When we told the people at Curve Fragrances about this story, they donated $1000 to People of Color in Crisis, Inc. (www.pocc.org)\u2014Aviance&amp;#039;s charity of choice.&amp;quot;My inspiration? Diana Ross. Before there was airbrushing, Diana was honest glam.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
