They Might Look Different, But These Olympians Are Fierce Even Without Makeup

With all of their screen time, sponsorships, and endorsements, Olympic athletes enjoy looking their best.

Aly Raisman Looks Fresh-Faced Without Makeup

Six-time Olympic medalist gymnast Aly Raisman might look fresh-faced without any makeup on, but she’s all about the power behind making athletes feel feminine and fierce in their respective sport. For her, that means a slicked-back ponytail, a shiny leotard, and a bit of makeup to tie the whole look together.

“You’re doing your sport, and you’re really strong and powerful, but at the same time, you can feel really feminine and beautiful,” Raisman said during an interview with USA Today. “I think for me, having that combination is what makes me feel confident.”
