Billie Eilish is currently on tour to support her Grammy-nominated album Hit Me Hard And Soft, and she just revealed the products that get her show-ready.

In a recently posted TikTok video, Eilish took viewers behind the scenes of her pre-concert skincare and makeup routine, though she cautioned that she is not a cosmetics expert. “Leave me alone I barely know what im [sic] doing but here’s what works for me & what I do before every show on tour,” Eilish captioned her video. Well, she may not feel like an authority, but she seems to have her routine down pat!

First, Eilish tames her alleged “cowlick” using a brush and blow-dryer, then she preps her bangs with some sort of spray. But once she starts on her face, we get some labels. Using a cotton pad, Eilish wipes her skin clean with Biba de Sousa micellar water (£36), and applies a £52 moisturiser from the same brand.

She wipes her water lines dry with an earbud—which I personally have never seen before and am eager to try—before going with a brown liner: the Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil from Maybelline (£5.59). Eilish uses a Makeup by Mario eyeshadow palette (£55) to extend the cat eye look, then it's time for more micellar water to clean it up. Then she takes a short break to listen to her friend gossip, which is a crucial step in any beauty routine.

Next, Eilish uses Nars concealer on a couple blemishes, blending it with a small cushion pad, then going over everything with Laura Mercier powder. She uses the Semi Permanent Brow Ink from Revlon…but not for her brows. Nope, they're to recreate the freckles she just covered in powder. Creative!

She applies one of those viral jelly blushes from Milk and a highlighter by Merit, plus a brow gel (on her brows) by the same brand. She firmly sets her brows using a tube of Got2B Brows and Edges gel, then curls her eyelashes, which she coats in Merit mascara.

Finally, she lines her lips with a stain called, appropriately, Lip Liner Stay-N, which I guess you let dry and then peel off? It works remarkably well, based on her TikTok. Her last step: Tower 28's OneLiner Lip Liner in Work of Art—and she's good to go!

In her annual Vanity Fair interview, Billie Eilish revealed that this is the first tour she's intentionally designed to be fun for her and not draining. “I've created a surrounding that's just joyous, and filled with laughter and love,” she said. "For the first time in my life, once again, the words coming out my mouth are, 'I wish this tour would never end.'" It's so good to see her looking so happy!
