Hey Beauties! This year's Olympic Games held in Paris had all of us talking about the superb performances, close calls, heart-warming romantic gestures, and the gorgeous makeup looks that have evolved in the world of sports through the years.
With the growing popularity of makeup all across the world, people have started to adapt glam in all avenues. The gymnastic athletes in Olympics 2024 featured some great makeup aesthetics that we’re super excited to discuss.
What are the Olympic Makeup Rules in Gymnastics?
Being a multi-sport event that involves participants from countries across the world, the Olympic Games have a bunch of rules for the participation, amongst which is the use of makeup. The 2024 Gymnastics Women’s Programmes of various nations state that the athlete’s hairstyle must be such that it doesn’t come in the way of their vision or apparatus. And while there is no particular ‘rule’ on makeup, they are required to be well-groomed, and should not have any flashy manicures, studs, or piercings because they can become a distraction for the judges. This is the very reason why Simone Biles never competes with her nose studs on.
Now that you know the general makeup grooming rules of Olympic Gymnastics, let’s have a look at how they made their mark through their choice of makeup products and techniques.
Beauty Moment From The Olympics 2024
1. Simone Biles
Simone Biles gymnastics skills have led her to the top of the game this Olympics, winning three Gold medals and one Silver. But this is not the only reason why she has been in the news. Recently, her Olympic makeup aesthetics have garnered popularity and have triggered a fan frenzy as well. Let’s take a look at how she did her makeup at the Olympics and what products were her favourite.
The first and foremost step that is a must in her makeup routine is a good base. While she goes for heavy coverage, in competitive stages of Olympics she opts for lightweight, sheer, and buildable foundations that keep her skin glowing all day long. Our Serum Skin Tint is a good start for achieving her look. She also loves to do her eyes, with an Eyeliner she tightlines her upper waterline. Another feature of her stunning look is her eyebrows, pick up our Brow Me Points palette and with the brush you can fill in the eyebrows wherever they feel sparse, to give a fuller look like Biles.
She kept her lips pretty natural in the overall makeup look, for which you can apply our Marshmallow Fluff, a pink tinted lip balm that hydrates and keeps the lips protected with SPF22.
2. Suni Lee
Suni Lee, 21 years old is also another highly decorated gymnast, and this season she won one Gold and three Bronze Medals for her performance at the Olympics 2024. She too, like Simone, has adorned some pretty makeup looks. Suni’s makeup aesthetics are more towards the pink flushed look.
Here with a soft foundation base and eyeliner, Suni also lined her lower waterline with Kajal. For this, a Kajal like our Nazar Na Lage - (Black) in a Water-proof & Smudge-proof formula helps the makeup stay put.
The main feature of her look is her Blush. Suni’s blush game is strong and goes from her mid cheek upto her high cheek points. She completes her look with a glossy lip colour – similar to a nourishing Lip oil in the shade Cherrycino (Red).
3. Jordan Chiles
The Olympics this year had a fair share of surprising decisions, one of which came when Jordan Chiles, who won one Gold Medal and one Bronze medal, had to return her bronze. Regardless of this, Jordan proved her worth as a great gymnast and won many hearts. She showed her sense of being fearless to take on the challenges that came her way, and this translates in her makeup as well. She wore a buildable coverage foundation like our Lights Camera Foundation with small stones at the outer corner of her eyes.
She kept her look in a neutral nude tone, a timeless choice of brown toned lipstick, quite similar to our Slow Sand. Lastly, her eyebrows are done with high definition, Brow pencils like Brow Me Points make it possible to fill in the brows by making single strokes in detail.
4. Rebeca Andrade
Rebeca is a well known Brazilian gymnast, who won one Gold, two Silvers, and one Bronze, a total of four medals in the 2024 Olympics! While she decided to go simple with her makeup, she did line her lips in a really cool look. All you need is a glitter eyeliner and a black fine-line tip eyeliner to do the look. Fill in with the glitter liner and draw the outer arrow and inner corner line with the black Eyeliner. This look gave her eyes an elongated effect with some dazzle!
5. Ruby Evans
Ruby Evans became the first Welsh female artistic gymnast since the year 1996 to represent Team GB at the 2024 Olympic Games. Bringing pride to her country, she gave a great fight this year all while looking absolutely beautiful. Her minimal makeup perfectly complemented her features. With a subtle eye look and pink lipstick, she impressed the viewers with her minimalist makeup look and strong abilities as an athlete!
Well, we may have come for the athleticism but we are definitely mesmerised by all the stunning Olympic makeup looks! Just like these great athletes, if you too dream of achieving success, remember that all your dreams are within your reach. Just believe in them and work hard, and watch yourself flourish!
