Washington Mystics player Lauren Betts, who recently led UCLA to a championship win, relies on a budget-friendly beauty product to complete her game-day look. The WNBA star swears by the NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Prune, priced at $6, for its ability to enhance her overall appearance before stepping onto the court.
Betts, who has previously partnered with NYX, views her pre-game beauty routine as a way to express her personality. "I’m a lip combo girl, and this is probably my favorite liner," Betts told Page Six Style. "It’s usually the last thing I put on before I leave and always pulls everything together."
Beyond lip liner, Betts also trusts the ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray to ensure her makeup withstands the rigors of competition. "This is perfect for long days and game days because I need my makeup to actually stay put through everything," she explained.
Skincare Essentials
Betts also highlighted the importance of a solid skincare regimen, especially given the demands of travel, games, and wearing makeup. She favors Youth to the People's Superfood Cleanser, describing it as a product that leaves her skin feeling clean and refreshed without stripping it or causing dryness. For her reset routine, she uses Therabody's TheraFace Mask Glo, an LED mask designed to help her skin recover. To add a natural flush, Betts reaches for the Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush duo, which she notes is ideal for all-day wear.
Betts's approach to beauty aligns with her "look good, feel good, play good" philosophy, emphasizing confidence as a key component of her performance. Her partnership with NYX before being drafted into the WNBA reflects her alignment with brands that promote self-assurance.
