Billie Eilish is known for her laid-back yet striking style, and her concert makeup routine is no exception. On December 22, 2024, she shared her entire process with fans on TikTok, revealing how she gets ready for her Hit Me Hard & Soft: The Tour. From taming her hair to perfecting her stage makeup, Eilish gave fans an inside look into her pre-show ritual.
Starting with Hair: The First Step
As is tradition, Eilish began her routine by taming her hair. To achieve her sleek, flat-ironed look, she first sectioned off her crown and worked on her cowlick by spritzing it with water and drying it. Afterward, she tied her hair into a ponytail before moving on to the makeup. This hair prep was just the beginning of her glam process.
Skin Prep: The Foundation for Makeup
Next, Billie prepped her skin with Biba Daily Moisturizer to ensure a smooth canvas. She then used a Q-tip to gently clean her waterline, ensuring her eyes were fresh and ready for makeup. To make her eyes pop, Eilish reached for Maybelline’s TattooStudio eyeliner in a dark brown shade, subtly winging the outer corners of her eyes for definition.
Eyeshadow and Liner: Creating a Bold Look
After applying her liner, Billie used the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes eyeshadow palette to smudge the liner for a smoky effect. To perfect the look, she cleaned up the sharp edges with an angled brush and makeup remover, ensuring precision. Her signature eye look was now complete, giving her eyes that distinct ocean-blue intensity.
Face Makeup: Concealing and Highlighting
Moving on to her face, Billie applied Nars Radiant Creamy concealer to cover any blemishes before setting it with Laura Mercier powder. She then used a dotting tool to bring back her natural freckles, a signature part of her look. To finish, she added blush and highlighter to her cheeks for a fresh, radiant glow.
Brows and Lips: Defining the Features
Billie’s brow routine involved filling them in with a gel before gluing them down. She then enhanced her lashes with a touch of mascara, ensuring they were elongated for the stage. For her lips, she started by applying a lip stain, followed by a nude lip liner to define the shape. Finally, she filled in her lips with the same product and patted off the excess for a matte finish.
Finishing Touches: The Outfit and Final Look
Eilish completed her look with a backward hat and a silky black top before heading to the stage. She shared her excitement, mentioning how her makeup held up throughout the intense performance. “95 minutes of sweating and running around & everything looks decent!” she posted, letting fans know that this routine is what works for her every time.
The Lip Combo Goes Viral
After Billie shared her tutorial, her lip combo became a viral sensation. Fans quickly jumped on the trend, trying out her stain liner technique for themselves. Eilish’s makeup routine is now a must-see for anyone looking to recreate her stage-ready look.
