The Paris Olympics this year has invaded the hot topics of this year! Aside from the best views of the competition that we’ve seen, another hot topic has also captivated the attention and fancy of viewers across the globe. And, of course, this is none other than the makeup the athletes use. If you’re going to splay makeup on your face and it won’t fade throughout intensive athletic activity, then honey, it’s something the world needs to know!
One notable athlete has got us tiptoeing and snooping around to find out what she has been using. Simone Biles’ makeup routine has people buzzing around in Beauty Tiktok discussing what she has been using.
We’ve taken notes, and here they are!
Milk Makeup Hydrogrip Primer
NBA Odds are, if there’s one thing a gymnast knows about makeup, it’s about quality and ensuring it won’t slip off and move, especially during physical activity. The Milk makeup Hydrogrip primer goes viral now and then on TikTok because of its features, and this is a good enough reason by itself. It’s part of Milk Makeup’s Hydrogrip line, released in the 2020s during the pandemic.
The primer is known for being hydrating but can help keep the makeup on the stick for up to 12 hours due to its tackiness. In addition, the primer’s hero ingredient is niacinamide and aloe water, resulting in a hard-to-beat dewy and fresh glow!
Fenty Soft Matte Pro Soft Matte Longwear Foundation
The Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation costs $40 and is a favorite of Simone Biles. Other people also love it, too! The formula is lightweight. There’s no greasy feeling whenever you use that. After a long day of wearing it, there’s no heavy and greasy feeling.
When this foundation was first introduced, there were a lot of rave reviews!
Blush: Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks
Simone Biles uses Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks. However, she mixes shades to get her own custom color. If you’re not feeling confident, you can go for one shade! Remember: tone and mute the blush by the look you’re going for today.
Eyeshadow: Pat McGrath
Biles is also known for her eye makeup. She’s certainly done well that she got herself an eyeshadow investment in the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership V: Bronze Seduction Eyeshadow Palette ($128). Her Vogue tutorial has her applying Bronze Blaze on her lids. The product’s not too bad – you get precisely what you pay for, with intense pigment, and a little goes a long way!
The Setting Sprays: Charlotte Tilbury and Krayolan
The biggest twist is that she uses more than one setting spray to keep her base intact! She uses the following setting sprays to keep her makeup in place: Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray, Kryolan Fixing Spray, and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray.
The Kryolan Fixing Spray is notoriously good for ensuring the makeup doesn’t move. It’s a beloved staple of theatre makeup kits. Meanwhile, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray gives the skin a more natural look and a glow and also helps lengthen the longevity of one’s makeup.
Wrapping Up
Our Olympic star, Biles, has a lot of fantastic makeup! These products will stay and are of interest due to their quality. Surely, we can expect no less from someone who goes for the gold!
