The 2024 Olympics called upon the greatest athletes around the world, including stars like USA gymnast Simone Biles, USA rugby player Ilona Maher, Algerian gymnast Kaylia Nemour, USA gymnast Asher Hong and more. As the players give their all, they need beauty products that will keep up with their pace — and none of them were shy about showing it.
For a beauty product to get an Olympian’s stamp of approval, it has to meet a few different qualifications. Not only does it have to be sweat-proof, transfer-proof, and long-lasting, but it also has to look good on camera. Bonus points if it is easy and quick to apply, so it doesn’t take away too much time from training or resting. It’s no easy feat.
Leave it to our Olympians to find the best products out there and prove just how well they work. Throughout the games, we’ve spotted athletes with their go-to products in tow, whether in a GRWM or in the middle of a match. For your leisure, we’ve compiled a list of all the Olympian-approved beauty products we’ve found. Scroll on to see what your faves are using for the 2024 Olympics.

We asked, and we received. Suni Lee dropped her step-by-step lip routine after it sent fans into a frenzy. She uses the celebrity-favorite Make Up For Ever lip liner in the shade “Anywhere Caffeine” and covers it with Olehenrikson peptide lip treatment in “Citrus Sunshine.”
Simone Biles's Setting Spray

Ever wondered how Simone Biles's makeup stays on when she's flipping through the air? Us too. Luckily, she shared a GRWM from the Olympic Village, and her setting spray is none other than One/Size's On ‘Til Dawn. It’s the very same setting spray Beyoncé used on tour, so it has now been approved by two icons.
Hezley Rivera's Concealer
Gymnast Hezly Rivera is having a lot of firsts. After making the Olympic team all while being over ten years younger than their leading lady Biles, the 16-year-old athlete is stealing all of our hearts. From the heartfelt moments as her dad watched her compete to her hilariously honest opinions on the Olympic Village cafeteria food, Rivera is reminding us why its so vital to have teens in the room. Competing alongside veterans like Biles, Lee, Jade Carey, and Jordan Chiles is no easy feat. Especially when those athletes are also beauty girls who make defying gravity look easy. Rivera is holding her own on the mat and with her beauty routine. The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer is something Rivera claims to be a makeup “must-have,” and we’re taking notes. If her makeup can stay while performing at an elite level, we for sure need the product too.
Biles's Compact Setting Powder
If Biles is using Fenty to keep the sweat at bay while competing at the Olympics, then we can surely trust Fenty to keep our sweat at bay during our regular people schedules. The star used the Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder during the team gymnastics final to both touch up and as a base mirror for the rest of her makeup, and we’ve never needed something in our to-go makeup bags faster.
Chiles's Lip Balm
This was the lippie seen and heard around the world. Everyone was trying to ID the lip gloss Chiles was wearing during Team USA’s competition. And while there were many guesses about what brand it could be, we confirmed it is Smith’s Rosebud Perfume Co. Minted Rose Lip Balm. We reached out to Chiles’ team and got the inside scoop on the product which totally was worth the hassle because of just how much shine projected off of our television screens.
Chiles's and Biles's Mid-Match Perfume
Best friends share everything and that sentiment also applies to world-class gymnasts. Biles and Chiles were seen during the team finals sharing a bit of fragrance with each other. Chiles pulled out the Burbery Goddess perfume from her bag, sprayed herself and then passed on to Biles who asked for a spritz. Smelling good is always top of mind, even for our favorite Team USA athletes.
Asher Hong's Match Perfume
Asher Hong and USA men’s gymnastics won the bronze medal in the team event, grabbing their first medal in 16 years. Hong, a fragrance-enthusiast, revealed that he wore YSL Y Eau de Parfum in a segment with NBC News. He also proved he’s a man of many talents by correctly identifying an interviewer’s perfume as Givenchy Gentleman just by the smell.
Kaylia Nemour's Match-Worthy Primer

Before Kaylia Nemour took home Olympics gold for her performance on the uneven bars during the gymnastics finals, the 17-year-old athlete gave us a look at her beauty routine. One product that stood out? MILK MAKEUP’s Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer. This primer is also approved by Biles, proving it can withstand not just one but two gold medal gymnasts' routines!
Nicole Yeargin's Red Lipstick
What could be more fitting than makeup made by an Olympian herself? Track star Nicole Yeargin wore WYN Beauty by Serena Williams to win a bronze medal in a relay for Great Britain. Her picks were the Word Of Mouth Matte Lipstick in the shade “Dare,” Glideline Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, and Big Vision Lengthening & Defining Tubing Mascara.
Chioma Onyekwere Lyons's Tinted Sunscreen
For her debut at the Olympics, Nigerian disc thrower Chioma “CiCi” Onyekwere Lyons also opted to wear a WYN Beauty. She wore the Featuring You Hydrating Skin Enhancing Tint with SPF 30. In addition to her athleticism, Lyons sets a great example for us all because sun protection is a key component of a good beauty routine.
Lee's Rhode Set

Lee is a certified Rhode girlie. Not only was the Olympian seen carrying her ‘Shortcake’ Peptide Lip Treatment in her matching silicone case during the Women's All-Around Final but she also gave the brand’s pocket blush in the shade ‘Piggy’ and the ‘Salty Tan’ Peptide Lip Treatment a shoutout in a podium training GRWM video — while using another version of the Rhode viral case. Can we get her an ambassadorship?

Singaporean swimmer Jing Wen Quah has been giving us behind-the-scenes looks at her Olympic 2024 experience, capturing everything from cleaning her dorm in the village to her makeup routine. In her GRWM for the opening ceremony, we spotted her using Maybelline’s City Bronzer to get camera- and boat-ready!
Ilona Maher's Red Lipstick
Between her performance on the field, bronze medal win, and her TikTok videos, Ilona Maher has become one of the biggest stars of the Olympics and her red lip has become a signature look. As told to Allure, her go-to for the field is Maybelline Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick since it lasts so well.
Apsara Sakbun's Foundation Fit for a Flag-Bearer
Before serving as the flag-bearer for Cambodia in the opening ceremony, swimmer Apsara Sakbun shared her GRWM on TikTok. She shared a plethora of her beauty picks including the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation, Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer, Laura Mercier Setting Powder, and more. Sakbun even revealed her blush combo of choice: Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Blush Stick in “Dusty Rose” and Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick in “Cork.”
Anna Hall's Rain-Proof Foundation
Track athlete Anna Hall is set to make a splash at the Paris Olympics and before her journey began she took us along the ride of her Opening Ceremony beauty look. The heptathlon star specifically wore Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, which clearly was necessary after she stood for four hours on the top of a boat in the pouring rain.
Lee's Press-On Nails
Lee, our queen of the beam, wore drug-store press-on nails from Kiss during the women’s gymnastics preliminaries. We found the exact product from the popular nail brand: KISS’s Salon X-tend LED Soft Gel System Starter Kit in the style Pure. Lee’s nail style specifically was an almond shaped nail with a French manicure.
