Gracie Abrams’s MUA Shares the Pre-Show Glam She Swears By

I’m convinced Gracie Abrams is a living, breathing doll. (Our cover shoot with the Grammy-nominated singer at L.A.’s Bob Baker Marionette Theatre only confirmed my suspicions.) I mean, it’s hard not to deem her otherworldly as she runs around on stage belting raw, honest lyrics without seemingly breaking a sweat. Her pitch is immaculate, her tousled bob is on point, and her skin? Oh, it looks practically airbrushed—like she’s permanently bathed in a soft-focus lens.

This blurred, “hazy” aesthetic is trending for spring 2025 (just ask pro makeup artists!), and Abrams has become the poster child for the flawless matte finish. And it turns out, you only need a few products to nail her soft-blur effect.

“Gracie does her own makeup for [The Secret of Us] tour,” Emily Cheng, the pro artist behind the star’s heavenly looks, tells me. While she plays with different eye and lip techniques to match her outfits, “The one thing that stays consistent is her base,” Cheng adds. “Before she left for tour, we filmed a quick tutorial on how to perfect her base, and Gracie takes it from there.” Discover the entire routine below from start to finish, including the products Abrams loves for diffused lips and rosy cheeks.
