Mbabane: Typical slay queen never leave home without makeup on. She can show up in the middle of the night wearing a full face of makeup and, most likely, a pair of high heels.

If it happens that you (man) come across your girlfriend but now looking like her father, don’t go past her, it would be the same Slay Queen you had thought looks like Beyonce, but now without a makeup just because government, through Minister of Commerce Industry and Trade Manqoba Khumalo has banned makeup and manicure at salons.
