Gracie Abrams does her stage make-up herself
The 25-year-old singer finds it "therapeutic" to take an hour for herself before her shows by working on her appearance alone in her hotel room, rather than bringing in experts to pamper her.
She told HarpersBazaar.com: 'I like the time to myself in that way. I slot for 20 more minutes than I actually need, just because it's nice to have an hour of the day sitting alone in a room. I value that alone time very much, and I do think it's therapeutic.
"I'll listen to a podcast, I like On Being with Krista Tippett. The guests that she has on are always so beautifully spoken and experts in their respective fields, and she's an excellent moderator."
Gracie needs her stage make-up to be bolder than her everyday look.
she explained: "[For my make-up] on stage it's really about emphasising certain features, because I'm so far away from so many people.
"Off-stage, I use a concealer for spot treating, a blush and do my brows. I like fine highlighting powders that both set and give your face some sheen.
"I'm not a lipstick person so I use a brown-ish lip liner and a glossy balm. For stage, I go a bit heavier with highlighter and blush. I fill my brows in more.'
The That's So True hitmaker feels her best when she has very little make-up on.
She said: 'I tend to feel the most beautiful when I have the least on my face and when I feel the most like myself. It's really just about what makes you feel like you.
"[With beauty] when you find the lane that makes sense for you, it's exciting and inspiring to explore it. My mum wasn't someone who wore a lot of make-up but when she did a red lip, or something extra, it always caught my attention. I also love Alexa Chung.'
Gracie starts her day by dousing her face in ice cold water to get rid of puffiness.
She said: 'In the morning, I use cold water, sometimes ice cubes, because I get really puffy. I'll use a simple moisturiser which I got while we were on tour in Korea and then I use the La-Roche Posay SPF. At night, I use a benzoyl peroxide between those steps, without the SPF.'

G Flip announces global Dream Ride Tour, returning to Australia and Perth next year
G Flip is set to return to Australia with a series of shows next year following the release of their most evolved and personal album yet. The Aussie drummer, singer, songwriter and producer will tour the country on a global Dream Ride Tour in support of the star's third studio album to be released on September 5. G, 31, will bring their explosive live show to fans in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide before wrapping up in Perth at the Fremantle Arts Centre on March 14. Joining the Melbourne-born-LA-based artist on the road is Canadian girl band The Beaches who went viral in 2023 with their single Blame Brett. The Toronto outfit now have a new single out called Touch Myself and a new album called No Hard Feelings set for release in August. Opening each Aussie show is rising star Ayesha Madon — known for playing Amerie in Netflix series Heartbreak High — who is taking the industry by storm from radio airwaves and streaming to magazine covers and Logie nominations. The tour comes after G Flip, born Georgia Flipo, refreshed their image — which included a hair transformation — and announced a bold evolution of their sound from indie pop to 1980s textures. The new record promises bigger feels but still stays rooted in G Flip's big pop hooks and confessional songwriting. G Flip was most recently in WA in November last year where they played at Spilt Milk House Party in Kings Park. In 2023, G told The West: 'I think Perth is one of the most beautiful places in Australia and every time I go over there it seems to be some kind of music or festival vibe.' 'The weather is beautiful and the vibes are high.' Tickets go on sale Monday, July 21 at 1pm via . Fans can sign up for early access to the Frontier Touring presale, which starts on Thursday at 12pm.
