Many of us are excited about the 2024 Olympics because we love watching our favorites, like Simone Biles, make history. The anticipation of the events has been building up for months, and it’s almost palpable. Right from the start, we were glued to the screen as the athletes took us behind the scenes as they prepped for the big events. It all started with gymnast Suni Lee’s in-flight skin-care routine as she headed to Paris, and we’ve tuned in ever since.

As beauty lovers, one of the most exciting things to see — second only to the amazing athleticism, of course — is how the Olympians do their nails, makeup, and hair. Seeing how their glam holds up is not just proof of how well these products work but also gives us major inspiration to snag the must-have products these athletes are using. We can see that their foundation didn’t budge, their lipstick stayed on, and their nails didn’t pop off while in full battle mode. If you ask us, there really is no better testimonial.

If you’re also curious about what products make the cut in an Olympic athlete’s routine, we scoured the internet for all the products we spotted throughout the games. From Sha’Carri Richardson to Jordan Chiles, we bring you the 2024 Olympic beauty products that are clearly gold-medal worthy.

It’s hard to miss Suni Lee’s talent, but we also couldn’t miss how her foundation didn’t move an inch while competing. This was all thanks to the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray ($14), which kept her makeup locked down during each flip. She was also spotted many times using a Rhode Lip Phone Case ($35), complete with the Peptide Lip Tint ($18).
