When Solange Knowles drops a beauty edit, it’s not just a routine product drop—it’s a whole mood shift. Case in point? The Eldorado Ballroom Edit, her new collaboration with clean beauty brand ILIA, inspired by none other than the historic music hall in Houston that once amplified Black artistry—and now, through Saint Heron, is getting its flowers all over again.
This isn’t just makeup. This is Solange curating her face the way she curates sound, space, and spirit. The five-product edit is a direct extension of her creative universe—clean, glowy, experimental but grounded. And just like her discography, it’s giving timeless and futuristic at once.
“It’s about being rooted in the work, the research, the performance,” Solange shared. “But also showing up with the ease of looking and feeling my best.”
Saint Heron’s Eldorado Ballroom Tour—a live performance series celebrating the legacy of Black artists—is the heartbeat behind this collab. The makeup edit doesn’t just show up because of the work—it shows up with it.
So, what’s in the edit?
- Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 – Skin, but make it protected and radiant
- Limitless Lash Mascara – Because clean doesn’t mean low drama
- Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in “Opulent” – Earthy, dreamy, and easy to glide
- In Frame Brow Gel – A little structure never hurt
- Lip Wrap Reviving Balm – Soft lips, soft life
All five picks are skin-first and performance-ready—aka ideal for someone who may or may not be balancing a rehearsal schedule and a panel talk in the same afternoon. The whole edit retails for $136 USD on ILIA’s website and comes with that signature Solange energy: minimal effort, maximum impact.
This drop isn’t about trends. It’s about timeless curation, the kind that makes you glow on stage, in the studio, or just in your group chat selfies.
