Meet Krystal Versace, the Youngest Winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race, Who Doesn't Break the Bank on Makeup

At just 19 years old, Krystal Versace made history by becoming the youngest ever winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race. Known for her fierce fashion sense and impeccable makeup, many assume that Krystal must spend a fortune on expensive designer beauty products to maintain her iconic looks. However, the truth is quite surprising.

In an exclusive interview, Krystal, now 21, revealed that she spends no more than £50 a month on makeup and often doesn't need to spend any money at all. She explained, "I really don't spend that much money on makeup at all. It's probably the one thing I do not spend money on. A month it would probably be £50, if that. I can't remember the last time I bought makeup. The thing is my stuff lasts. I use heavy stuff. Obviously, I get PR, I've got a team where if there's new makeup, I get sent it to try it out so I rarely rarely buy new stuff. The stuff I spend money on are wigs."

Accessorizing With Style and Confidence

Krystal Versace is known not only for her experimentation with style but also for her open-mindedness when it comes to cosmetic procedures. She has previously spoken about having work done on her nose, chin, and lips, as well as getting fillers in her cheeks. According to Krystal, these procedures are just like accessorizing, stating, "We're all accessorizing what we've been given, so I don't know how getting your lips done and surgery on your face is different from having a body covered in tattoos."

Life After Drag Race

Since winning Drag Race in 2021, Krystal has focused on brand collaborations, attending glitzy events, and even having her own BBC documentary series called "Keeping Up With Krystal Versace." The series gives fans an all-access pass into Krystal's life, showcasing the reality and hard work behind being one of the country's top drag performers. Reflecting on the program, Krystal admitted that it was mentally and physically challenging but emphasized the importance of showing the behind-the-scenes work that often goes unnoticed.

Looking ahead, Drag Race season five is on the horizon, and Krystal is excited to see what the latest batch of hopefuls will bring. She even teased the possibility of an appearance from someone close to her inner circle, saying, "People forget how small the community is, especially in London, a lot of girls have been on previously so word gets around quick, people find out things here and there and, obviously, I'm still part of that family, so... there could or could not be someone from the house of Versace, who knows."

With her undeniable talent, unique style, and thrifty approach to makeup, Krystal Versace continues to make waves in the drag world and inspire others.
