Five skin-centric essentials pay tribute to Houston’s historic music hall, and they drop just in time for summer.
Solange Knowles has translated her curatorial eye into a limited five-piece kit with ILIA, a clean-beauty label that shares her skin-first philosophy. The project’s name, the Eldorado Ballroom Edit, nods to the storied Houston venue where her Saint Heron collective is staging a run of performances this month.
The partnership is practical as well as poetic. Each product, Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, Limitless Lash Mascara, Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in Opulent, In Frame Brow Gel, and Lip Wrap Reviving Balm – earned a spot in Solange’s own rotation long before talks began. “I need formulas that let me focus on the work while still feeling like myself,” she explains in the release, framing beauty as a backstage companion rather than the main act.
ILIA mirrors that thinking with lightweight textures built to even, lift, and gloss without masking. The result is a concise routine that moves from matinee rehearsals to late shows at the Ballroom with nothing more than a swipe or a tap.
Proceeds support Saint Heron’s ongoing effort to preserve Black cultural memory through live performance, underscoring how seamlessly Solange’s artistic and philanthropic lanes intersect.
The Eldorado Ballroom Edit is available now for $136 USD, exclusively at ILIABeauty.com.
