Oh darling, if there’s one thing Billie Eilish has mastered (besides breaking records and winning Grammys left, right, and center), it’s her effortlessly cool and edgy makeup. You know that iconic smudged eyeliner look? The one that screams “I woke up like this, but make it fashion”? Well, today, we’re channeling that energy and recreating her signature eye pencil moment. Grab your makeup bag and let’s get artsy!
She made history as the youngest artist to sweep the Big Four Grammy categories in one night—Album, Record, Song of the Year, AND Best New Artist! Casual. Her James Bond theme song No Time to Die won her an Oscar. Imagine being this cool. Billie is also a fashion icon, shifting from oversized streetwear to Old Hollywood glam, proving she can slay any aesthetic.
Now go forth, channel your inner Billie, and serve smudgy, mysterious, effortlessly cool realness!
Step 1: The Flawless (but Not Too Flawless) Base
Billie isn’t about that heavy cake-face life. Her skin always looks fresh, dewy, and natural. To achieve this:
- Start with a lightweight, hydrating primer.
- Use a sheer or light coverage foundation—think “your skin but better.”
- A tiny dab of concealer under the eyes and on any blemishes is chef’s kiss perfection.
- Set with the tiniest amount of translucent powder to keep everything in place without losing the glow.
Step 2: Brows That Speak Volumes
Billie’s brows are thick, bold, and untamed (but in a polished, high-fashion way). Channel your inner rebellious queen by:
- Brushing up your brows with a clear or tinted brow gel.
- Filling in any sparse areas lightly with a brow pencil.
- Keeping them natural—no over-carving, we want attitude, not geometry!
Step 3: The Billie Eye Pencil Moment
This is the defining feature of her look. That smudgy, lived-in, rockstar-worthy liner? We’re here for it! Here’s how to get it just right:
- Take a creamy black eye pencil and line your lower lash line. Don’t worry about precision—chaos is chic.
- Use a smudging brush (or your pinky, because let’s be real) to blend it out for that effortlessly cool, slept-in effect.
- If you want to go full Billie, add a hint of liner to your upper lash line as well and blend, blend, blend.
- Finish with loads of mascara. Think thick, fluttery, and dramatic.
Step 4: Keep the Lips Soft
Billie usually pairs her bold eyes with soft, natural lips. Opt for:
- A nude lip liner to slightly define your shape.
- A tinted lip balm or satin-finish lipstick for a kissable, hydrated pout.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
A little highlighter on the cheekbones, the tip of the nose, and the cupid’s bow gives that subtle glow. And voilà, you’re now rocking a Billie-approved smudgy chic look!
