Shakira is not just serving vocals and killer dance moves during her tour; she’s also serving flawless, glowing skin. Fans are always curious about her beauty secrets, and this time, La Loba herself spilled the details of her pre-show skincare and makeup routine.

Before hitting the stage for her Las Mujeres No Lloran tour, the 48-year-old Colombian beauty preps her skin with a simple but effective routine that keeps her looking radiant, even after hours of performing. And the best part? She does most of it herself.

Shakira’s Skincare Prep: Red Light Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage

Shakira may have a glam team, but she likes to start her routine solo. Her first step includes a red light therapy device to reduce inflammation. “It’s a laser to reduce inflammation,” she explained in a TikTok video, showing how she uses the wireless gadget on her face.

Next, she moves on to a facial gua sha for lymphatic drainage. This technique helps depuff her face and move excess fluid. Bonus: She multitasks like a pro, using the tool while doing vocal warm-ups—efficiency at its finest.

Shakira’s Tour Makeup Routine

Once her skin is prepped, she jumps straight into makeup. Her go-to products include:

  • Foundation for an even, natural finish.
  • Eyeshadow to make her eyes pop under stage lights.
  • Lipstick for a bold but effortless look.
  • Setting spray to lock everything in place.

She finishes it all off with a spritz of her own perfume—because why not smell fabulous while looking like a goddess?

Meanwhile, her hairstylist takes care of her signature wavy locks, a process she also shared in a previous behind-the-scenes video.

How Shakira Stays Fit for Tour Performances

Shakira doesn’t rely on dance rehearsals to keep her body in shape. Her fitness routine includes targeted exercises to build strength, stamina, and flexibility, which are key for performing nonstop for over two hours.

Here are some of her go-to moves and why they work:

  • Deadlifts: Strengthens the back, core, glutes, and legs while improving posture.
  • Hip Thrusts: Targets the glutes, thighs, and core for lower-body power.

She also does arm and core exercises since those areas get a serious workout during her high-energy choreography.

On top of all that, she squeezes in 10-minute self-massages when she can because recovery is just as important as training.

The Final Countdown Before the Show

Before stepping on stage, Shakira’s final steps include:

  • 10 minutes of vocal warm-ups to keep her voice in top shape.
  • One last look in the mirror to make sure everything is set.
  • A quick mental focus session to get in the zone.

Then, she heads to her meet-and-greet before giving fans an unforgettable, high-energy performance.

Shakira proves that looking and feeling fantastic on tour isn’t just about glam squads and expensive treatments; it’s about consistency, innovative skincare, and a solid fitness routine. And if there’s one thing to take away from her regimen, self-care, and multitasking are the real game-changers.
