Gracie Abrams' beauty routine step-by-step

Easy and simple for a super fresh look

Gracie Abrams' beauty routine step-by-step Easy and simple for a super fresh look

If there's a new it girl to be inspired by, it's definitely her: Gracie Abrams. Born in '99, daughter of director J.J. Abrams and producer Katie McGrath, Gracie is the singer-songwriter of the moment. But beyond her talent, there's something else that makes her unique: her natural beauty, simple and almost effortless. You won't find elaborate contouring or hours in front of the mirror: her makeup is light, essential, and super quick. Here's how to recreate her makeup, step by step.

Step 1 on the Gracie Abrams beauty routine: prep the skin

First thing, Gracie preps her skin with Caudalie Beauty Elixir, a setting spray that brightens the skin and tightens the pores. Gracie reveals that the fragrance helps her, not only to relax but also to feel closer to home, especially when she's away on tour. Another must for her is eye drops, which help reduce eye puffiness and calm any redness. She continues her skin prep with a lip mask: in particular, she uses the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Vanilla, although she admits to having it in all flavors and always keeping one in her bag!

Step 2: a light and luminous base

Now comes the fun part: makeup. Her go-to foundation is the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, a super-light foundation that gives an immediate glow and freshness, deeply hydrates, and minimizes imperfections. Gracie applies it with her fingers for better control. She follows up with the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer, applying it under the eyes, on redness, and on small imperfections.

Step 3: contouring, blush, and highlighter

Gracie loves a warm look. She uses the Milk Makeup Contour Stick to warm up her face: she applies it under the cheekbones, in the crease of the eye, under the nose, and just below the lower lip, blending it all with a brush for better precision. Next, she moves on to highlighter: her favorite is the Hyper Shine Lite Pigment by Katie Jane Hughes, which she applies on her cheekbones and inside her eyes to open up her gaze. Finally, the blush. Sometimes she mixes it with the highlighter for an even more radiant effect. She applies the Fenty Beauty Cream Blush in Summertime Wine on her cheeks, which immediately gives her a fresher and healthier look.

The last essential steps

Gracie admits she's not a fan of mascara. To open up her eyes, she simply prefers to use an eyelash curler. The very last touch is fragrance: her favorites are Another 13 by Le Labo and Sex Musk by Cyklar, which she applies using the layering technique, layering them to create a personal and enveloping scent. And that's how her beauty routine ends!
