Olympic Gymnast Suni Lee Swears by This $11 L’Oréal Setting Spray

Olympians are everywhere right now and doing the most ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, from rugby player Ilona Maher launching an active skin-care line to Suni Lee, the 21-year-old gymnast who was just named ambassador for Kiss Products. During a webinar with Kiss, Lee talked through her favorite hair, skin, and makeup products, including her go-to dry shampoo, hair gel, and—yes—the drugstore setting spray from L’Oreal that keeps her makeup intact during her highest-stress competitions.

If you need a refresher, Lee is a complete boss, bringing home three medals in the Tokyo Games: silver with the U.S. team, gold in the all-around, and bronze on the uneven bars. She is also the first Hmong-American Olympian and the first Asian-American woman to win the all-around title. Earlier this month, she qualified for the Paris 2024 Games and will once again represent Team USA alongside her teammates Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera. 

Lee is the newest ambassador for the Kiss Salon X-tend system, which combines a one-step adhesive and a curing lamp so you can do gel extensions at home. I’ve personally used it and—seriously—I can have a fresh set of nails in under 30 minutes with a one-year-old at home. “This makes it super easy to do my nails on the go,” Lee says during the video call.

Beauty is a huge part Lee’s routine as an athlete, and she says that getting ready with full hair and makeup is one of her favorite parts of competitions. It has also allowed her to find her go-to products for competing including L’Oreal Infallible Setting Spray ($11), which she swears by for keeping her makeup in place. “I use pressed powder, then I bake with loose powder and finish with setting spray,” she says. But even before makeup goes on, Lee says she’s been focusing on a solid skin-care routine, which almost always includes Tatcha Dewy Moisturizer ($72) which she calls a “good makeup base.” Lee also credits Batiste Dry Shampoo ($10) and Got2B Spiking Glue ($8) for keeping her hair slicked back and grease-free during competitions.
