Billie Eilish just surprised fans with a behind-the-scenes peek into her makeup routine, revealing the steps she takes “before every show on tour” (because, yes, INYMI: the 23-year-old performer does her own glam before hitting the stage). Her go-to products include some of the same beauty staples the NewBeauty team swears by, from affordable drugstore favorites to luxury splurges. But the undeniable standout of the “Birds of a Feather” singer’s routine is her eyeliner technique, which she’s mastered with just two popular products—both of which we’re breaking down ahead.

Billie EIlish’s Eyeliner Combo: Maybelline’s Tattoo Studio Eyeliner and Makeup by Mario’s Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
After prepping with Biba De Sousa skin-care products, Eilish goes to work on her eye makeup regimen, reaching for the Maybelline Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Gel Pencil Eyeliner ($10). She glides the creamy formula along her waterline before tightlining her upper waterline to define her eyes and add depth. Next, she draws out a wing, noting via text overlay that “it doesn’t have to be perfect” since she’ll perfect it later.
To bring it all together, she grabs the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette ($50), blending shadow over the wing and bottom liner for a seamless, smoky effect. With the help of an ultra-precise eyeshadow brush, a Q-tip and micellar water, she sharpens the wing to perfection taking her time during the process. For a final touch, she extends the liner into the inner corner to elongate and enhance her eyes even more.
