Reba McEntire Talks Beauty Secrets, How She Gets Ready for Shows

She is one of country’s biggest stars, but if there is one thing that you can count on when Reba McEntire hits the stage is that she will always look great — and she recently revealed what exactly are her beauty secrets.

“Moisturizer!” the 64-year-old exclusively tells Closer Weekly of the beauty product she can’t live without. “Love me some Watercress Hydration Cascade by Farmhouse Fresh. I apply before makeup and right after cleansing at night.”

“I do a Hydra-Facial to give my skin an extra hug of plumpness,” the songwriter added. While you can count on Reba doing all that before a big event like the “Fancy” CMA Awards, that’s not all that is a part of her pre-show routine.

“I start with watching what I eat … the dresses are always tight and body baring! I’ve got dry skin so I start moisturizing in August for the show!” the country singer revealed. As for her choice of outfit, Reba is all about sequins. “My goal is to see my stage outfit from space,” she joked.

Reba also focuses on preparing her voice. “I have a humidifier on high and always do a run of vocal warm ups,” she explained. While it seems like Reba knows all about what she needs to feel ready to go for any event, she has also learned a big no-no over the years.

“Too dark a lip color. My makeup artist Brett Freedman says I have ‘kitten lips’ so keep them light and glossy,” the hitmaker said. Reba looked quite fantastic when she hit the stage at the 2019 CMAs alongside Carrie Underwood and Dolly Parton on Wednesday, November 13.

The trio sand various tunes to open the exciting show, including, “You’re Lookin’ at Country,” “Delta Dawn,” “Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad” and “Those Memories of You.” We can’t wait to see Reba perform again soon!
