The Olympian broke down her routine for Peopleand you’ll be happy to hear that her favorite products aren’t expensive.
She’s a huge fan of Makeup Forever and swears by their lip liners for a pout.
“I use Make Up For Ever Anywhere Caffeine [lip liner] and Make Up Forever Wherever Walnut [lip liner],” she says.
She explains that she gets her perfect pout by using the darker shade around her lips and the lighter shade on the inside.
But no lip would be complete without a lip gloss, and Suni uses Ole Henrikson Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment or Salty Tan Peptide Lip Treatment from Hailey Bieber’s brand Rhode.
Instead of mascara, the gymnast chooses to wear eyelash extensions so there is no risk of the mascara smudging or tearing.
In her viral video, Suni also showed how she does her hair in a slicked back bun. The secret to this is Göt2B Styling Glue.
To get all the product out of her locks, she washes her hair twice with Kérastase products.
“Filling in my brows is the most fun part of my makeup routine. I find it makes the biggest difference,” she said on TikTok before applying a clear brow gel to keep everything in place.
Speaking to Allure, Suni also revealed that she’s a fan of TikTok’s latest beauty trend: Biodance Bio-Collagen face masks.
And when it comes to making her skin glow, Sol De Janeiro body oil Do it.
To prevent it from becoming too slippery, something no gymnast wants, she always applies it the night before so it can soak into her skin properly.
The Minnesota native is also a huge skin care fanatic.
SkinMedica’s exfoliating cleanser and Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36 can both be found in her beauty case.
Beauty fans reacted to her viral video and were amazed by her natural yet radiant look.
One said: “You are so incredibly cute!! So natural.”
“So beautiful, I love the blush so much,” said a second.
And a third said: “What a beautiful girl, I would love a hair tutorial!”

Beauty Secrets of Current Olympians
Jordanian Chiles
The American gymnast has a 26-step makeup routine that includes 15 different products.
To ensure her makeup stays put during her performances, she uses foundation, concealer, primers, eye shadow, lip oils and liners, blush, contour and eyebrows included
Jordan, who has a few hours to get ready for the game, will also be paying extra attention to her eyes, using an eyeshadow primer and setting powder from Fenty Beauty.
Next, the gymnast applies these products to the inner corners of her eyes to create a brightening effect that looks great in the spotlight during her competitions.
Simon Biles
Preparation is key for Simone, who starts by using a Hydro Grip Primer from Milk Makeup, £18 for 10ml or £35 for 45ml.
Then she applies concealer, foundation, liquid eyeliner and mascara and uses two different setting sprays.
The gold medal winner first uses the ONE/SIZE On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray, £30, and then follows with the Ben Nye Final Seal Matte Makeup Sealer, which costs £25.20 on Amazon.
Simone was also spotted dabbing away sweat with a powder.
Lina Nielsen
She is a 400m sprinter for Great Britain, which means she knows all about being ready at all times.
To prevent pimples caused by dirt and sweat, Lina uses a spray with hypochlorous acid.
She has also reduced the products she normally uses to a minimum and keeps her skincare routine very simple.
On competition day, Lina will give her skin extra hydration to protect her skin.
She always uses a primer before applying makeup to make sure everything stays in place.
How do they do their hair?
Expert trichologists at Philip Kingsley share their top tips on how to care for your hair like an Olympic champion
- Bath Cap Hair Mask: Using the Swimcap keeps your hair protected but also hydrated, giving you the benefits of a leave-in treatment at the same time! The unique, creamy, caring formula — originally formulated for the US Olympic Synchronized Swimming Team — treats and protects hair from the drying, damaging effects of the sun, sea, chlorine and UV rays, and helps keep hair nourished and hydrated.
- Hair care during sports:
Conditioning masks that you apply before shampooing are great for working out, so why not apply them to your hair before pulling it into a tight ponytail like we saw Keeley do last night! (Elasticizer)
Detangle your hair after washing, as it can get tangled during washing. Then wash it with a shampoo and conditioner that is suitable for the texture of your hair.
If your scalp is itchy after exercising, use a soothing antimicrobial shampoo, such as Flaky/Itchy Scalp Shampoo.
- Training to work
Philip Kingsley Dry Shampoo is ideal for days when you go straight from training to the office. This shampoo gives your hair an extra boost and absorbs grease.
