“Cowboy Carter” Beauty: Tour-Inspired Hair, Makeup, Nails
updated June 22, 2025
Beyoncé is having a stellar year. Fresh off her historic grammy win for Best Country Album, the first Black woman to achieve this honor, she is currently headlining her 32-stop Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour. Her beauty brand, Cécred, is also hitting the road.
As the tour continues, fans are planning their Western-inspired looks. The key question: What to do with hair and makeup?
Beauty experts are weighing in on the top trends, from wild west ponytails to rustic eye makeup and denim-inspired manicures, to help fans achieve the perfect tour-ready style.
Hair: Rugged and Effortless
Dereq Clark, Wella Professionals brand ambassador, describes the “Cowboy Carter” hair aesthetic as a mix of ruggedness and ease. He suggests embracing natural textures and loose styles that evoke a sense of freedom and adventure.
Makeup: Rodeo Glam and Cowgirl Drama
For makeup, two distinct trends emerge: rodeo glam and cowgirl drama.
Rodeo Glam:
Yeika and Banks recommend fresh, romantic looks using rich berry tones on the cheeks, lips, and eyes. Cream products create a dewy finish. Bushy brows add an “untamed” element,while faux freckles offer an unexpected detail.
Cowgirl Drama:
A sharp wing or double-liner in deep brown or black paired with a bold red or oxblood lip creates a dramatic effect. Yeika notes this look nods to Beyoncé’s fearless persona and Southern roots. Banks suggests a red or coral lip stain for a vintage feel.Tolkin San george recommends MAC’s retro matte lipstick in “Ruby Woo,” rhinestones applied with eyelash glue,and full lashes.
Nails: Black Cowgirl Chic
Nail artist Gayaya Haug describes Cowboy Carter nails as “Black cowgirl chic.” She envisions a white base with blue and red accents, adorned with Western motifs like lassos, hats, boots, horseshoes, and cow print, plus ”lots of gems,” including pearls and flashy gems, topped off with a Cowboy Carter sash.
Silver/Gold Embellishments with Turquoise:
Silver and gold accents on a turquoise background are classic. To create a turquoise stone effect, blend wiggly lines into the turquoise color, then add definitive black lines for detail.
Jean Nails:
Jean nails are ideal, especially given Beyoncé’s collaboration with Levi’s. Use a darker denim-colored blue, add a lighter blue airbrush or powder for dimension, and outline the nails with stitching accents. For extra flair, glue pieces of real jeans to the nails and bedazzle them.
Star Nails:
Draw a five-point star with a nail art brush and fill it in. these require patience but are very “Cowboy Carter.”
What’s next
As the “Cowboy Carter” tour continues, expect to see even more creative interpretations of these beauty trends, with fans and artists pushing the boundaries of Western-inspired style.
