These Are the Exact 2 Makeup Products Simone Biles Used Before Winning Gold in Paris
If you’re not tuning in to see the U.S. women’s gymnastics team absolutely dominate at the 2024 Paris Olympics, you’re missing out. On Tuesday, the “Golden Girls,” led by Simone Biles and Suni Lee, made their mark on their self-titled “redemption tour” by snagging the gold medal in the women’s artistic team all-around final. The win makes Biles the highest Olympic medal earner in gymnastics history with a whopping eight!
While most of us are never going to flip, jump, twist, the way Biles so effortlessly does, her style and makeup routine are much more attainable. Just take a look at her beauty regimen during the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Team Final, which consisted of a combo of products you can pick up at your local Sephora or Ulta.
Ahead of taking the floor to compete, the gymnast was photographed touching up her makeup—which already looked pretty flawless to begin with. Turns out, she was using the iconic Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder ($37) to touch up her complexion. The product blurs pores, gets rid of shine, and extends the wear of makeup (which is why she looked so put together and not-at-all weaty after her routine).
Pros:
- Universal matte finish
- Long-lasting
- Instantly absorbs shine
Cons:
- Pricey
If this product looks familiar to you, it’s the exact one that went viral during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance when Rihanna grabbed the powder for a quick touch-up (and a genius marketing move). Clearly, it does wonders for athletes and singers alike.
Alongside the universal shade that works on all skin tones, Biles also touched up her lips with a NYX Suede Matte Lip Liner Velvet Soft Vegan Lip Pencil ($5) in the shade Cold Brew—a dark true brown color that pairs beautifully with the rest of her makeup look. This lip liner boasts a velvety texture that glides effortlessly across the lips, delivering rich, pigmented color with precision. Its matte finish is perfect for creating a bold, defined lip look that lasts all day (or all routine!) without feathering or smudging. Plus, its budget-friendly price means you don't have to break the bank to achieve stunning results.
Pros:
- Easy to apply
- Rich, deep pigment
- Affordable
- Vegan and cruelty-free
Cons:
- None that we can think of!
While most of us can only dream about being such an agile athlete, stealing Biles makeup routine can be a reality. Get your own gold-medal-worthy makeup and be sure to tune in for more beauty ideas from America's Golden Girls.
