Ellie Goulding Shares Her Beauty Routine

The English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding, 29, is clearly hitting her stride. Her third album, “Delirium,” was hailed as the iTunes top pop album of 2015, while the hit single “Love Me Like You Do” earned a Golden Globe nomination (it was on the “Fifty Shades of Grey” soundtrack) and two Grammy nominations — her first. Aside from her music, Ms. Goulding has been collaborating with MAC Cosmetics on a makeup collection, which is in stores now. Below, she shares her beauty regimen for on and off the stage.

 Makeup

My makeup fascination comes from watching my mom do it when I was growing up. I tend to keep a pretty natural look, and then I dramatize it for the stage. So with MAC, they wanted to do a very specific collaboration in that the collection is basically the colors I wear. I like the idea of a compact because it fits my lifestyle. You put it on in the morning, then you take it with you. I’ve been using the Halcyon Days one.

I fill in my brows with a Sisley brow pencil — the line has really beautiful colors that are long lasting. If I’m not using my MAC lipsticks or glosses, I love Charlotte Tilbury lip color in Bitch Perfect, which is a pink-nude and stays on really well. I’m blond and not dark, so I tend to shy from a red lip.

I use mascara, and I do love lots and lots of lashes. Before Lucy Wearing, my makeup artist, started coming on tour with me, I’d do my own makeup for stage, and I’m quite good at lashes. Actually, we had a party for New Year’s Eve, and I did all my friends’ lashes.

Diet and Fitness

 I like to run. I like to box. I like to do Barry’s Bootcamp. I like a mix of things. I just went to Norway for a few days, and we were climbing mountains and dog sledding. Dog sledding was so good! At first it was really scary — they go so fast — and it can be very messy if the sled overturns, but it was so incredible.

I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat fish or meat. I also try my best to not have dairy or animal products. Such as, for breakfast I had kale with rye bread and a green juice. But I’d say I’m generally pretty balanced. I do have vices like alcohol and chocolate. I’m not too hard on myself about sugar. I know many people who are into health and fitness are anti-sugar and anti-gluten. But with my job being the way it is, I can’t be too strict about things. If I’m doing a sound check and there’s a limited amount of food at the venue, I’ll find something to eat.

Fragrance

I wear one by Christian Dior called Gris Montaigne. It’s lovely but also unisex. I discovered it while literally walking in a department store. Someone sprayed me as I walked by. At first I was annoyed, but it smelled quite nice. Another one I like is Black Opium by YSL. It’s so beautiful. I understand why it’s a best seller. That’s one I wear in the evening.
