Ever since Beyoncé stunned the world with her foray into country music with the once-controversial-now-Grammy-winning "Cowboy Carter" album last year, our eyes have been glued to social media awaiting news of another worldwide tour. Feb. 1 became our lucky day when the legend announced she's hitting the road once again. While it won't be as lengthy as the iconic "Renaissance" World Tour that defined our summers nearly two years in a row, the 32-show rodeo is scheduled to commence at the end of this month, lasting through the end of July, which of course requires some serious preparation (like with anything involving Beyoncé).
While we're gathering our best denim, cowboy hats, and all the star jewelry we could find, we're also paying attention to our makeup, nails, and hair to make sure we come correct for the Queen. While it remains to be seen what Bey's beauty looks will be, we're taking notes from the awe-inspiring moments she's delivered since the album's release — from the many red lips she's donned during her casual escapades to her ashy blond, bleached brows for the tour announcement visuals. We predict "Cowboy Carter" outfits will include Americana-inspired metallics and rhinestone-embellished blue jeans, so you can expect to lean into this aesthetic for your beauty details, too.
If you're more of a maximalist, feel free to grab multicolored star face jewels to match your American flag-esque star nails or black lipstick to serve as a grungy complement to that black Stetson cowboy hat you've been eyeing. And if you're more of a minimalist, you can achieve your go-to makeup look and let your blond-like-Bey hair speak for itself. Whether you're seeing Beyoncé for the first time or attending this tour after missing out on all the Renaissance fun, we've rounded up the best beauty ideas that are sure to be approved by the star herself. From crystal face gems to bestselling setting spray to keep your glam fresh all night, these are the picks you'll want to secure ASAP.
Keep reading to shop our picks for the best "Cowboy Carter"-inspired beauty products.

Editor Quote: "I've tried sweat-proof foundations and some of the best setting powders on the market, but the formula would still feel heavy after a few hours. Fortunately, I've found this as the perfect base product to help me solve this problem without compromising on coverage." — Naomi Parris, assistant editor, Shopping

Best Hair Lotion For the "Cowboy Carter" Tour
Cécred Moisture Sealing Lotion ($38)
There's no better brand to shop for your tour hair than Beyoncé's own Cécred. Just a little more than a year in the industry, the entertainer's hair-care line has received multiple awards and impressed several of our editors. We tried the hair lotion on three different hair textures (from thick to fine), and it surely delivered its promises of locking in moisture, fighting frizz, and sealing split ends. You can read more about why our editors are obsessed in their full review of the Cécred Moisture Sealing Lotion.
Editor Quote: "My extensions were already styled straight, so the lotion added incredible shine and provided frizz control, but what really impressed me was how it worked on my natural hair. When using it dry, you're supposed to use a styling tool, so I opted for the Dyson Airwrap. At first, I thought the blowdryer gave me those results, but when they persisted for three days after use with my normal sleeping habits (I don't wrap my hair and sleep like an animal), I knew that I had the lotion to thank. Moving forward, this will be a staple in my hair routine." — Ariel Baker, former assistant editor, Beauty

Best Lipstick For the "Cowboy Carter" Tour

Red lipstick has almost become synonymous with Beyoncé, and this satin formula from Yves Saint Laurent feels all-Americana. It's formulated with ceramides, Moroccan tuberose extract, and cactus fig flower extract to give your lips that smooth and hydrating finish.

Best Eyeshadow Palette For the "Cowboy Carter" Tour
Makeup by Mario Master Metallics Eyeshadow Palette ($50)
While red, white, and blue have become a central theme for "Cowboy Carter," we've seen Queen Bey pair many of her country-inspired looks with metallic eye moments. In case you're taking cues from her, or just want to try something new, consider this palette from Makeup by Mario. It has 12 different shades that can be mixed and matched, from muted tones to more pigmented tones. Plus, metallics are sure to make your eyes pop best at night.

Best Curling Iron for the "Cowboy Carter" Tour
Mermade Pro Hair 1.25-Inch Waver ($79)
Inspired by Queen Bey's effortless bouncy waves? Consider this curling iron from Mermade. The hybrid beauty tool's flattened design creates a stunning crimped look, and it's so easy to use. It's even TikTok- and PS editor-approved. Read our review of the Mermade Hair Curling Iron to learn more.
Editor Quote: "At first, I was afraid the waves would be reminiscent of my crimped hair days in elementary school, but I couldn't have been more wrong — my whole head was covered in bouncy, soft, mermaid waves. My fine hair was full of volume, and the result looked effortless and relaxed, not too polished like my curls typically looked. Considering I would have never been able to achieve this look with a normal curling iron, I'd say this hot tool has earned itself a permanent home in my collection." — JH

Best Perfume For the "Cowboy Carter" Tour
Valentino Private Talk Perfume ($165)
While you're singing "II Hands II Heaven" at the top of your lungs, you'll want to make sure you still smell good after hours of being in the stadium. This pick from Valentino's Anatomy of Dreams collection is the perfect fragrance to accomplish just that. Made with notes of tuberose, ginger, and coffee (yes, you read that right), the scent creates an alluring vibe that actually lasts. It's also editor-approved, with one coining it as her new date night perfume. You can read her in-depth review of the Valentino Private Talk Perfume here.
Editor Quote: "From the deep amber color of the juice to the surprising key note accord, which is composed of ultra-feminine tuberose and striking cappuccino, this scent is both bold, yet soft. Sensual, yet reserved. The way it teetered each extreme was intriguing — it's how I knew it was the one for me." — Kayla Greaves, contributor
