Athletes with a net worth of around a million can pretty much get their hands on any beauty product, from scorpion venom-infused skincare to a 24-karat gold lip mask. But, even with all those luxury options, sometimes they just can’t resist something a bit more budget-friendly. Take Simone Biles, with a net worth of $20 million—her signature nude makeup look perfectly complements her features.
Her sharp nude lip color paired with precise lip liner, perfectly shaped eyebrows, and subtle contouring. While the overall look is nude, her striking eyes, defined with perfect/flawless eyeliner, always capture everyone’s attention. But are you ready to hear what comes next?
Have you ever wondered what the G.O.A.T. of gymnastics, Simone Biles, uses to get her game face on? Well, she swears by an eyeliner that costs less than $7! That’s right—Biles revealed she uses Wet n Wild Megalast Breakup-Proof Liquid Eyeliner in Black, priced at just $6.49. It’s hard to believe that a budget-friendly product like this is part of her beauty routine! And it seems like her trusty eyeliner isn’t just good for looks.
With this eyeliner, Biles added yet another chapter to her legendary career, putting her game face on before winning her fourth medal at the Paris Olympics. In a nail-biting final, she confidently edged out Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade to claim the women’s all-around title for the second time. At 27, Biles returned to the Olympic stage, eight years after first winning gold in Rio. Now, she’s in elite company, becoming only the third woman to win the all-around title more than once, joining the ranks of Larisa Latynina and Vera Caslavska. However, when it comes to a beauty product getting an Olympian’s stamp of approval, it’s got to do more than just look good.
It needs to be sweat-proof, transfer-proof, long-lasting, and still look flawless on camera. Oh, and bonus points if it’s quick and easy to apply—because who’s got time to fuss with makeup when you’re juggling training and recovery? Not an easy checklist, right? So, you might think about faces. What do they apply?
Ever wondered how Simone Biles keeps her makeup flawless while she’s flipping through the air? Luckily, she shared a GRWM video from the Olympic Village, and the secret behind her long-lasting look is none other than One/Size’s On ‘Til Dawn setting spray. Fun fact: this is the same spray Beyoncé used on tour, so if it’s good enough for two icons, you know it’s the real deal. Biles also relies on Fenty Beauty to keep her sweat in check during competitions—so if it works for her at the Olympics, it can definitely handle our everyday lives!
During the team gymnastics final, Biles was seen using Fenty Beauty’s Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder to touch up her look and even as a mini mirror for the rest of her makeup. This compact product has now become a must-have for our makeup bags. With just a quick touch-up, she effortlessly added those finishing touches to her look, proving that staying fresh under pressure is all about having the right tools.
The big question leading up to Paris 2024 was: How would Simone Biles perform on the Olympic stage, three years after Tokyo 2020 with such makeup? And the answer is…
Simone Biles shined in her Olympic return
The 27-year-old gymnast led the American women to reclaim the team title and then captured her second individual all-around crown, eight years after her first, while also securing gold on vault. Biles’ third Olympics ended on a high note with a silver medal on the floor. Her remarkable comeback stands as one of the greatest bouncebacks in Olympic history—both literally and figuratively.
Reflecting on her journey, Biles told the press, “I’ve accomplished way more than in my wildest dreams. Not just at this Olympics, but in the sport. A couple of years ago, I didn’t think I’d be back here, so competing and walking away with four medals… I’m pretty proud of myself.” Yes, Simone Biles didn’t just prove her doubters wrong—she showed the world that she’s still the queen of gymnastics.
