Billie Eillish most iconic beauty moments
At this point Billie Eilish barely needs an introduction, but we’re going to do one anyway. At the tender age of 19 this seven-time Grammy award winner is a stratospherically successful superstar, regular Spotify and Instagram recordbreaker, and verified fashion icon. Launched from obscurity in 2016 by her dreamy SoundCloud single ‘Ocean Eyes,’ in a few short years Billie has managed to carve out a legacy that most people can only dream of.
Her knack for dressing unapologetically iswell documented. Somehow, Billie manages to rewrite the fashion manual every time she steps out on the red carpet. But being a fresh-faced teen, she doesn’t exactly ‘paint for the back row’. Imperceptible makeup has become something of a trademark for her. She combinesflawless skin with a moisturised lip, a brushed brow, and deftly separated lash, before tying it all together with ayouthful glow. Simple, right?
Well, don’t confuse simplicity for lack of care. Billie told Vogue Australia, “Anything you look at you judge. That’s how we all work, that’s how human beings work.” And with record numbers of eyeballs on her every day, it should come as no surprise that Billie considers all her beauty decisions carefully. From her dewy complexion and platinum roots, right down to her impossibly pointed nails.
Turning out trend-bending looks seems to come as naturally to her as writing award winning songs. Following the release of her highly anticipated (and already critically acclaimed) sophomore albumHappier Than Ever, Vogue have gone through the archives to round up Billie Eilish’s most memorable beauty moments.

September 2018: They hair is a steelier grey, and the soft, natural look reigns supreme. Appearing at the Yellow Ball in 2018, Billie donned a dusty lavender mid part and a nude lip. There’s an effortlessness here that we could all aspire to.
