Houston Radiance

As we leave the colder weather for that summer sun, we find ourselves hunting for the best and brightest facial products to help achieve a warmer glow. This time around, renowned conscious cosmetics brand ILIA Beauty has you covered with their latest collaboration with acclaimed artist and designer Solange Knowles entitled The Eldorado Ballroom Edit.

An exclusive, hand-selected collection of Solange’s favorite ILIA products to form the ultimate make-up mood board of on-stage looks, her personal curation is thanks to her established love for the brand’s shared philosophy of loving a more natural and luminous skin. Through the partnership and each product, Solange aims to represent a truly radiant, joyous, and present self throughout her nights at the titular Eldorado Ballroom.

ILIA and Solange are dedicating the drop to the Eldorado Ballroom series, created and curated by Solange for her multidisciplinary creative group, Saint Heron. From June 11th until the 20th, they return to their roots in Houston, Texas with several performances at various historical venues, such as the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, The Museum of Fine Arts, and the Eldorado Ballroom itself—the birthplace of Solange’s artistic journey in Houston’s Third Ward. This year’s series includes nights of experimental performance art, classical, symphonic, and opera works, as well as zydeco and folk music alongside Performing Arts of Houston to explore the vast facets of live performance.

The edit includes the Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30 (my personal favorite) in Solange’s shade of Dominica ST14, the Limitless Lash Mascara in After Midnight, the Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in Opulent, the In Frame Brow Gel, and the Lip Wrap Reviving Balm. As an ILIA and Solange fan myself, her picks perfectly encapsulate a flawlessly luminous look fit for any occasion without the unnecessary toxic formulas. 

The exclusive collection drops 17 June 2025, where fans of both Solange and ILIA alike can indulge in the naturally beautiful Houston summer glow everyone is aspiring for.
