Whilst we have all been gawking at the incredible ability of this year’s Olympians, the beauty and makeup routines of one certain sport have captured the attention of makeup lovers around the world. This year’s talented gymnasts have not only put on an amazing performance throughout the 2024 Games but have also looked stunning doing it.
Fans have become obsessed with the gymnast’s GRWMs on TikTok, and many have created their own videos recreating and breaking down the products used by this elite group of athletes.
Considering we must constantly re-apply our lipstick and gloss and fidget with those wonky fake eyelashes as we casually sip a cocktail, it seems absurd that these Olympians can win a gold medal without so much as smudging their lip gloss.

So, after a lot of TikTok and Olympic watching we have gathered some intel on the most highly rated products being used by this year’s Olympic Gymnasts.
Hawk-eyed TikToker Abby Rivera spotted the exact lip combo Simone Biles used during her competition. Rivera revealed the lip liner and gloss the gymnast was spotted applying on the floor at the games and in her TikTok GRWM was indeed the NYX suede matte lip liner and the NYX butter lip gloss. I mean if they are Simone Biles approved who are we to argue?
