Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher breaks down her beauty routine for the 2024 Games in Paris, including her favorite longlasting lipstick, the deodorant that keeps her fresh, and the sunscreen that protects her through entire tournaments.
Welcome to Shelf Life , where Olympians are breaking down the beauty routines carrying them through the 2024 Paris Games. Today, Team USA rugby center Ilona Maher reveals the secret to indestructible braids , the deodorant that keeps her fresh for hours on end of high-impact exercise, and the reason she’s always wearing lipstick on the pitch. Even on a rugby pitch full of women, it’s easy to spot Ilona Maher.
I am kind of minimalist in my skin care. I find products, and if I like them, I just keep going. I don't try out new things. Makeup I play a sport that is traditionally very masculine; you have to be, supposedly, very manly to play. I think it's putting female athletes in a box. So I wear makeup to give a big “eff you” to having to sacrifice my femininity. Even while I wear lipstick or have mascara on, I can still tackle hard, run hard, and be a great rugby player.
