In a recent interview with Harpers Bazaar, Grammy-nominated artist Gracie Abrams shared that she does her own makeup on tour. Some products she mentioned using are:

Laneige Lip Mask - “I’ve tried every scent.”
Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm
Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer in Silk - “It goes with me everywhere. It’s great for under-eyes, blemishes, touch-ups. The consistency dries down so well.”

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush
Hourglass Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner - “It’s able to get super defined and is long-lasting.”

If you haven’t noticed, Gracie uses a ton of Hourglass products because she’s their newest global brand partner. “Hourglass products let me stay true to myself no matter the time or place,” she said in a press release.
The singer shared the news on Instagram, saying “I’ve loved and used @hourglasscosmetics for years and I am so excited to be the face of their new campaign ! Thank you for having me @hourglasscosmetics 💋”
Hourglass shared the campaign they did with Gracie on Instagram—a quick video featuring the “Close to You” singer dolled up in their products.
“Any Time. Any Place. Any Wear. From the soft glow of dawn to the alluring glimmer of twilight, our innovative complexion formulas are made to evolve with you and enhance your radiance at any moment, in every light. Global brand partner @gracieabrams in our Summer 2025 campaign, wearing her Hourglass staples,” the caption read.
Along with the brand partnership announcement, Hourglass also launched its “Illusion” Priming Moisturizer.
While Gracie says she has sensitive skin and is on her skincare journey, she said one way she cares for her skin while on the road is drinking as much water as possible and staying consistent with her skincare routine. “I have a Yeti, one of those huge ones with a handle that’s practically a weapon—and staying consistent with the products that I use. I also started using disposable face towels because stage towels and venue towels can be grimy, and I have very sensitive skin—so that's been helpful, I've noticed,” she said to Allure.
On stage, one product the singer uses every single night are Hourglass lip liners. “Candid is a dark brown-ish red. I warm it up on the back of my hand and then instead of applying it as a liner, blot it onto my lips. It lasts forever,” she told Allure.
When it comes to her young fans, she hopes they learn to “lean into doing whatever makes them feel most themselves, and that they don’t feel like they have to look like one thing or present in any one way,” she said to Allure. “I'm so privileged that I get to play shows where, for two hours, I'm looking at all of their faces—and they're the most radiant people as they are. And so my hope for them is that they know that and feel that themselves. I try to tell them in real time because whether it's an outfit or something they've done with their eyeliner or crazy beautiful braids, I’m always inspired.”
After her shows, she’ll thoroughly wash all the makeup off. She’s also began mouth taping on tour, “which I was doing for my voice because I wanted to stop waking up feeling like my mouth was so dry. It’s not sexy, but it’s the truth.”
Savannah James is launching a skincare brand. Puck’s beauty correspondent, Rachel Strugatz says “I know everyone, including me, has celebrity beauty brand fatigue, but Savannah James has managed to pique my interest this week.” She continued, “The wife of LeBron James is now preparing to launch a pretty serious skincare brand. I’m told that products are ‘in the vein of Augustinus Bader,’ the upscale purveyor of nearly $300 creams, which is definitely not the typical celebrity playbook.”
