Monique Heart, who appeared on RuPaul's Drag Race season 10 and RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars season 4, recently launched MoBeauty – a line of skincare products that allow fans to feel and look their best while momentarily living out their drag queen fantasy. When it comes to entertaining her fans, Monique is a jack of all trades. She starred in two music videos, including one for her hit song "Brown Cow Stunning," and the WOW Presents Plus series Manic Moments with Monique Heart. Now, this queen is sharing her passion for achieving beautiful skin.

When Monique first appeared on Drag Race, she finished in eighth place after The Vixen sent her home. Though viewers were sad to see Monique go, they didn't have to wait too long for her to once again grace their TV screens. On All Stars, Monique advanced to the end of the competition and earned runner-up status. Ever since, Monique has been working non-stop to build her empire. In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, she shared details on the launch of MoBeauty, tips for using the three skincare masks currently available – each of which features one of Monique's signature makeup looks – and her long-term goals for the brand.

MoBeauty launched last week. How does that feel to have your products available to the public?

It's kind of surreal to see this all happening. We started production months ago, so to get here, to see the packaging in the little factory, you're like, 'Oh my God it's real, shut up!' I recently went to the U.K. and I took a bunch of them [the masks] with me to pass them out to a few of my friends and they've been posting with them on. To see that is very surreal.

Where did the idea to create a beauty line come from?

In drag, we spend a lot of time doing makeup. But I feel like if your skin, which is your canvas, is healthy, beautiful, no acne, no breakouts, no hyperpigmentation, all of those things, it makes your makeup application a lot easier. There's a lot less steps. There's a lot less covering of texture that you don't have to deal with.

Some of my friends have really, really even skin. Then there's others like myself who have to spackle to make sure she looks smooth. For me, I've always wanted to have even skin. But hyperpigmentation, and the fact that I have vitiligo, I already have that mass of discoloration and hyperpigmentation around the areas where I shave.

Then I got on 'Drag Race' where everyone's in your face, tons of cameras, very like the Proactiv commercials. You're using everything and you find what works. Then people are like, 'What do you use on your skin?' And I'm like, 'It's either really expensive or it's a bunch of products.' My manager said, 'What if you did your own?' I thought that would be great, but you think it's over there. Not obtainable. Not real. But we started researching. I wanted healthy, green, simple. I want people to put it on their face and be able to see a difference and feel a difference. We decided to start with a face mask and then jump into moisturizers, etc. later on.

I feel like a lot of times, people hate at the end of the day having to wash their face, tone, moisturize. It's so many steps. People want to decompress. Let's put a face mask on and just sit and look at the walls.

What went into the process of creating MoBeauty and ensuring fans would love it?

It was such a dreadful process. The fans will drag you if it's trash. We first started with the different ways that I affect my own skin. I do a lot of drag. As soon as I get done with drag, I'm really, really dry because I have put so much makeup on my face. You shouldn't use makeup remover wipes, but they really help get it off. It's really bad for your skin. I was like, 'Let's put something moisturizing and soothing together.' We got cucumber extract and that's my Mo-Stunning, which is my blue one. If you wear makeup all day, this is just a perfect way to sooth your skin. If you shave or have any inflammation or just irritation, I say put the blue one on.

My other issue is hyperpigmentation. I want to be even, which is already naturally an issue. Even my vanilla brothers and sisters, they suffer with redness and just being smooth and even as well. I have the pink one, which is the Mo-Brightening. She has niacinamide and cherry blossom oils in it. Niacinamide is a B3 vitamin that is so great for evening out redness, canceling out dryness, canceling out hyperpigmentation, evening out your skin tone and just protecting your face layer, which a lot of people don't recognize. I think it's really important, especially that we're wearing these face masks all the time. All of that constant heavy airflow and breath can cause people to break out, so we need to make sure we don't have that.

That's why I love my other one, which is the Mo-Mattifier, the yellow one. For people who have acne or because you're wearing a face mask on a regular basis, you're recognizing more breakouts than you usually do, that has...dear lord how do you say it? I'm gonna mess this up! Calendula. I said it right! It's a beautiful yellow-orange flower. The oil benefits are so amazing for evening out your pH so that you don't have those breakouts.

Can people mix and match the three options?

You can use them whenever. Because I find myself in makeup on a more regular basis, I'm using the Mo-Stunning one. But you can use them whenever, however. They're really juicy, so there's some extra serum in the package. This is what I say – after 15 minutes, you peel the mask off and your skin will be very dewy. You can rinse that off, but I say let it sit because you feel real snatched. I say take that extra serum and rub it over your décolletage area, or your chest area for the mens out there.

It's a lovely once or twice a week thing that you can sit alone by yourself and just have some 'me time,' which I think is necessary, especially in today's society. You're being bombarded by social media, the news, when you go outside. It's a great way to zen out and take care of your mental space. I believe this is another way just to pamper yourself. Take 20 minutes, just sit there and do nothing, which I feel sometimes is really hard to do. Or you can do everything. You can vacuum, nurse the baby, maybe spend some time with your partner and scare them, terrorize them.

And the mouth hole area is big enough if you want to eat Cheetos. That was the thing when we were going through the testers. I said, 'I can't eat a Cheeto in between watching my shows, this isn't cute!'

The design on each mask is inspired by your own makeup looks?

The blue one is my makeup from season 10 of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' which was this elaborate card dress out of a plain deck of cards. And I should've won the episode! I was robbed. I'm not bitter, I'm trying to move on. Anyway...we said, 'What if you put that on the face mask?' It allows the people to almost be this exaggerated person for 20 minutes. The pink and yellow are the same design, just different benefits and properties for the face masks. It's almost like you get to be in drag with these exaggerated eyes and oversized lips and feel the fantasy.

When you announced the launch of MoBeauty, what kind of response did you receive from fans and fellow queens?

A lot of people were like, 'Build your empire Mo-Heart!' And I was like, 'Yes, mam!' A lot of people were really surprised that I didn't do makeup. I would say that I am one that uses a lot of color, paints very exaggerated. A lot of drag queens have come out with eyeshadow palettes, but no one takes care of their skin. Let's do something else. Let's trailblaze in another lane. For me, I always look at, where is a market that no one's looking at and how can we go tackle it? Because the money is always there, right? If you provide people with an actual service or experience that's quality, people will show up for it.

People love drag and they love the fantasy. If I can say, 'This is what I do to take care of my skin' but also create a fantasy for you, then it's a win-win situation.

Did you work on MoBeauty during COVID?

Yes, which was kind of crazy. I moved to Palm Springs in October and believe we started in February, maybe a little bit sooner than that. We were like, 'Are we out of the pandemic? Maybe not?' I decided to just do something, a leap of faith. If it flops, it flops. But it worked and just kept going. We did the photoshoot and the packaging. This is happening. It's just been such a blessing and the response has been so great. I'm really happy that I got to even go overseas and just throw some out at the different shows I was at in Manchester, Birmingham. It was amazing. People were like, 'Miss thang you better do it!' I'm just so happy.

So you're finally getting to perform live shows again?

A little bit. We did a tour overseas and that was amazing. I did my first live show about a month ago at a college, and it was weird to be like, 'Hi!' Here [in America] for a meet-and-greet, people are like, 'We can just stand over there and look awkward in the photo.' I went over to Manchester and people are like, 'No honey, I paid for a meet-and-greet. I will stand right next to you.' Thank God for the vaccine and mask, right?

It's great to be back, but we just want to be back to full capacity. There's nothing like a live audience and being able to engage with the people and literally see people come in heavy from whatever they're dealing with. And then by the time they're done, their hearts are just free.

Where do you see MoBeauty going in the future? Do you have anything else in the works?

We're going to jump into moisturizers and serums for the face. I really want to develop an undereye de-puffer because I will wake up with bags! Does everybody else? I know they do. They sent me a sample of the moisturizer the other day and I put it on and was like, 'Oh, this is luxurious!'

I'm really excited to grow. I say all the time that you should love the person behind the makeup. That's one of my life anthems. I want people to know who they are, love every part of themselves. Your face is your face, it's not anyone else's. I think sometimes we long to be other people and hide behind a mask. I say, 'No. Let's love all of you the best way.' Your skin is the biggest organ on your body and so you have to take care of it.

Do you have any long-term goals for MoBeauty?

I want to believe in faith that I can provide amazing skincare like Fenty and Peter Thomas Roth. Those are the products that I use. I want to be up there. The big goal is to get in Sephora, so we're working on that. We're just trying to build it. It's hard right now because it's like, do we jump in? What's the government saying? Oh, there's about to be more restrictions? We're using wisdom, but we're doing it and it's gonna grow.

Makeup is on the way, but right now we're just gonna stick with skincare. I feel like a lot of people are doing makeup right now and there's a character – I'm not a fan of him – but I do respect his little opinion. Mr. Jeffree Star. He will read your makeup for the kinky boots if it's trash. I want to make sure that when we come out with an eyeshadow or a foundation or whatever, it'll be right.

I can tell you that lashes are on the way. That is very, very soon around the corner. There will be a range of small for the cisgender women, just a little not a whole lot, to the dramatic fantasy. Mo-Lash. You're the first person I told that to!

Aside from MoBeauty, is there anything else upcoming for you?

I am working on new music. I am in the studio, which is kind of crazy to be back in.

I have a big music festival [Firefly] which I'm excited and slightly nervous about, I'm not gonna lie. I'm excited to be there alongside Megan Thee Stallion and Lizzo and so many other greats. But the fact that it's a festival and our nation is not completely unified on the vaccine, I will be in a bubble suit until it's time for me to go on. I'll be doing some of my new music there. It's on September 26. Myself and LaLa Ri, another contestant from 'RuPaul's Drag Race' but season 13, she will be performing there with me. We're making history as two queer drag queens performing at a major music festival. It's crazy history.

I also have a new show with Amazon Music called 'Walk In' that's coming out this fall. I'm working with some big, big names. I don't think I can tell them yet, but there's some A-list celebs, musicians honey that we get to walk through their closet and they get to talk about some of their famous iconic pieces, some pieces that were maybe sentimental or personal because a family member gave it to them. I am the host of that.
