Gracie Abrams does her own stage make-up

Gracie Abrams does her own stage make-up.

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.”
