When it comes to pushing boundaries in both music and style, Doechii has cemented herself as one of today’s most fearless artists.
But behind her ever-changing glam lies the vision and artistry of Dee Carrion, the makeup artist responsible for helping shape Doechii’s electrifying beauty narrative.
Carrion’s approach isn’t just about makeup, it’s about creating a visual language that amplifies the rapper’s artistry.
Carrion describes her work with Doechii as a collaborative journey that thrives on experimentation. “Doechii is never afraid to try something new,” she explains. “Her music is bold, so her beauty looks need to match that same energy.” Whether it’s sharp graphic liner, futuristic metallics, or avant-garde face adornments, Carrion ensures every look tells a story that aligns with Doechii’s artistic world.
One of Carrion’s strengths lies in her ability to merge technical skill with conceptual vision. She often draws from art, fashion history, and even surrealist references to craft beauty looks that feel both fresh and theatrical. For her, makeup is less about conforming to trends and more about breaking them. “I like to think of beauty as an extension of performance,” Carrion says. “It should transform, provoke, and inspire.”
Doechii’s red carpet moments have become a masterclass in how makeup can be a form of storytelling. At recent appearances, Carrion has played with sculptural brows, multidimensional glitter, and exaggerated lips, all designed to heighten Doechii’s already magnetic stage presence. Fans have come to expect the unexpected, and that element of surprise has become central to Carrion’s creative process.
Yet beneath the bold looks is an emphasis on skin health and technique. Carrion prioritizes prepping the skin so that even the most daring styles have a flawless base. She champions the idea that bold makeup should still enhance, not overwhelm, the person wearing it. “It’s about balance,” she notes. “You can go dramatic while still keeping the essence of the artist intact.”
As Doechii continues to carve out her lane in music, Carrion remains a vital architect of her visual identity. Together, they’re not just creating makeup looks, they’re building a beauty world that challenges conventions and inspires individuality. In Carrion’s hands, glam becomes more than cosmetics: it’s a manifesto of boldness, rebellion, and artistry.
