N.L.'s favourite drag queen dishes style secrets

"First thing's first, you have to have high-pigmented makeup." says drag performer Jade Nohels.

"As we say in the drag world, Cover Girl does not cover boy."

Last week, CBC Newfoundland and Labrador introduced you to Nohels — and his fierce and fabulous drag persona, Fashionista Jones.

Now, Nohels dishes a drag queen's most closely guarded secrets: the makeup, beauty and style tricks he uses to make the transformation a smashing success.

"What really is an accomplishment for me is knowing that when I see people that I've never seen before, they're looking at a completely different person," Nohels said. 

"I've met people as Jade that I've met in drag, and they don't even know the difference."
