STAGE WORN: Beauty behind the beats.

There’s a whole side of beauty that lives outside the glow of a ring light.

You’ll find it in the pit. On stage. In the heat. Behind the scenes. And sometimes.. just barely.. in the venue bathroom mirror.

This corner of just.cheexie is dedicated to that kind of beauty.

The kind that moves. That lasts through a 90-minute setlist. That gets reapplied on a tour bus. That walks a red carpet knowing the lighting isn’t always friendly.

We’re not here for one kind of looks, one kind of skin tone, or one kind of standard. We’re here for range, bebe! Because beauty in music has never looked just one way.

Here, I’ll be covering the products that survive stage lights and breakdowns, the fragrances that mark a moment, and the beauty rituals that help us arrive.. whether it’s at a show or just through the day. Expect honest reviews. No filters. No fluff. Just what works, what moves, and what matters.

But this is more than a personal column.

I’ll also be spotlighting the real beauty creatives behind the industry:

• The makeup artists behind your favorite artist’s tour glam

• The stylists pulling red carpet looks

• The scent stories hidden in music video aesthetics

• The brand collabs that actually hit

• And the unsung heroes of concert prep: SPF, setting powder, water proof mascara, and sometimes, pure willpower

We’re also opening this space to other creators.. across backgrounds, identities, and aesthetics. Because the beauty tied to music isn’t one

note, and neither are the people living it.

This is the beginning of a beauty archive that honors the fans, the artists, and the creators behind the curtain.

Beauty that shows up.

For the moment. For the memory. For the music.
