Whether she’s on the vault of on the floor, Simone Biles makes sure that her makeup looks just as perfect as her moves. When it comes to her Olympics beauty routine, the 27-year-old gymnast keeps one of Fenty Beauty’s bestsellers nearby.
Biles was photographed touching up her makeup with Fenty Beauty’s Invisimatte Instant Setting and Blotting Powder during the artistic gymnastics women’s team final last week. The $37 setting and blotting powder — available at Fenty Beauty, Sephora, Kohl’s and Ulta — instantly mattifies and reduce oil and shine.
Biles has a DIY glam routine for the 2024 Summer Olympics and a beauty hack that keeps her makeup in place — no matter what routine she does.
“Tonight I start on vault, and I honestly think that’s the event I’m most nervous for because I don’t want to overpower it,” Biles said in a “get ready with me” TikTok video ahead of the Olympics all around gymnastics final over the weekend. The Olympian filmed herself putting on makeup while jamming to a music playlist that included Victoria Monet and Normani. “I’m doing the Yurchenko double pike which is also known as the Biles II vault,” she explained before showing love to her competition, Brazilian gymnast Rebecca Andrade.
“She’s good! And I would say she’s my top competitor,” Biles said of Andrade. “We’re very similar scorers overall and I haven’t had competition like this in a while, but I’m really excited to compete with her. She’s super sweet and she’s overcome a couple injuries, so to see her out here? Amazing. I’m excited!”
As for makeup, Biles put on concealer, eyeliner, setting powder, contour, bronzer (which she uses as eyeshadow), lip-gloss, blush and setting spray.
“I set my face with two different setting sprays,” she said showing Patrick Starrr’s One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray and Ben Nyle Final Seal Setting Spray. Biles noted that Final Seal basically seals the deal when it comes to makeup. According to the product description, the setting spray dries quickly with a matte finish and is used by makeup artists, performers, actor and athletes, but also works for cosplay and other costumes.
Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, won a silver medal in the women’s floor exercise final on Monday (Aug. 5). The 11-time Olympic medalists won four medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics, including three gold medals and one silver.
Team USA currently leads the Paris Olympics with 77 medals in total including 20 gold, 29 silver and 28 bronze medals.
