Yahoo Lifestyle Here's the Real Story Behind Doechii's Intentionally Visible Face Tape
Lemme guess: You're doing a deep dive on Doechii after her sickening Grammys performance (and historic win as the third woman to take home the award for Best Rap Album). You've already tapped into her gig on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and know her NPR Tiny Desk Concert by heart, but you couldn't help but notice a certain accessory she pairs with all her iconic looks.
The Swamp Princess regularly rocks face tape along with her sultry glam over her braids, and you may be wondering why she even wears it in the first place. Allow me—a pop culture aficionado, beauty buff, and Doechii fan—to elaborate: face tape has historically been used—and hidden—under hair to lift certain features and give a fox-eye effect.
According to Doechii herself, she just likes the look of face tape.
“Okay, so the face tapes are there on purpose because it's cunt,” the “DENIAL IS A RIVER” artist explained in a November 2024 TikTok video.
Her makeup artist, Dee Carrion, doubled down during an interview with People, saying that the exposed tape during her Grammys performance was fully intentional and has become part of Doechii's signature look.
“They are visible because we think it’s cool,” Dee told the outlet. “We even rhinestoned them during her performance to make them even more visible. We wanted to bring an editorial vibe to something that was very glam. We just like the way it looks and the effect it gives.”
Dee (who often uses Urban Decay's hero products to achieve Doechii's glam, BTW!) spoke on her Grammys look, adding that she “wanted to keep the glam a little more pulled back because the outfits and hair were such major moments.”
Well, there ya have it, folks. Doechii wears face tape, simply because she wants to.
