From stepping on the stage in Toronto earlier this year with Madonna on her current Celebration Tour to gracing the main stage of Canada’s Drag Race, Viktor Peters and his drag alter ego Verushka (name inspired by the iconic 60s and 70s fashion model) has been carving and contouring their own lane when it comes to both drag and the true mastery of makeup artistry.

Both in and out of glam themselves, make up is a fundamental part of what makes Viktor and Verushka such a rare creative artist. Most queens really know their own faces to a tee, but Viktor has painted some of the most famous drag faces in the industry and have developed a style of glam that is so technically flawless that it is no surprise that she’s been able to translate not only the perfect face into Verushka but as a vintage fashion aesthetic that is truly unparalleled when it comes to drag in Canada. Both as Viktor and Verushka, there artistry holds no bounds and their stamp on makeup, both in Canada and international are something to keep your eye on!
