Olympic gymnast Suni Lee reveals Paris 2024 beauty regime – with £4.50 must-have & Sol de Janeiro trick
Jordan Chiles
The American gymnast has a 26-step makeup routine which includes 15 different products.
To ensure her makeup lasts throughout her performances, she uses a foundation, concealer, primers, eyeshadows, lip oils and liners, blush, contour and eyebrows included
Jordan, who has a few hours to get ready before competing, will also pay extra attention to her eye area, using an eyeshadow primer and setting powder both from Fenty Beauty.
The gymnast then adds these products to the inner corners of her eyes to achieve a brightening effect that looks good under the spotlight during her matches.
Simon Biles
Preparation is key for Simone, who starts off by using a Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer, £18 for 10ml of £35 for 45ml.
She then goes on to apply concealer, foundation, liquid eyeliner and mascara, before then using two different setting sprays.
The gold medallist uses the ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray, £30, first, and then Ben Nye Final Seal Matte Makeup Sealer, which costs £25.20 from Amazon.
Simone has also been spotted blotting away sweat with a powder.
Lina Nielsen
She's a 400m sprinter for Great Britain, which means she'll know a thing or two about looking race ready at all times.
To help prevent breakouts from dirt and sweat, Lina will use a hypochlorous acid spray.
She also has stripped back the products she would normally use and keeps her skincare routine super-simple.
On her race day, Lina will moisturise more than usual to keep her skin protected.
She will always use a primer before wearing make-up to make sure everything locks in place.
How do they do their hair?
Expert Trichologists at Philip Kingsley share their top tips on how to look after your hair like an Olympic Champion
- Swimcap Hair Mask: Using the Swimcap means your hair stays protected but also hydrated so you get the benefits of a leave-in treatment at the same time! The uniquely creamy, conditioning formula — originally formulated for the USA Olympic synchronized swim team — treats and shields hair from the drying, damaging effects of the sun, sea, chlorine and UV, helping to keep tresses nourished and hydrated.
- Hair care whilst exercising:
Pre-shampoo conditioning masks are great to use whilst exercising, so why not put in the hair before tying into a tight ponytail – like the one we saw Keeley rocking last night! (Elasticizer)
Detangle your hair after as it may get tangled during a session, and wash with a shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair texture.
If your scalp gets itchy after a work-out session, use a soothing anti-microbial shampoo, like Flaky/Itchy Scalp Shampoo.
- Training to work
Philip Kingsley’s Dry Shampoo is on hand for the days when you’re going straight from training to the office, adding days of life back into your hair and soaking up grease.
