At Collection Cosmetics, we want you to feel your best whatever you are doing. That’s why are proud to be an official partner of the Netball Super League, where we share the same goals in that we empower women and boost confidence. Working alongside the players, we’re excited to share our range of makeup suitable for sports.
Whether you’re already on your way to the podium or dreaming of your first big competition, looking your best while performing at your peak is more achievable than ever.
Boost confidence, boost performance
Makeup is more than just the products you apply to your face, it’s a confidence booster. Whether you’re scoring goals or nailing that perfect ten, feeling good about how you look can give you an extra spring in your step. It’s like putting on your game face—literally. And when you feel great, you perform even better.
Believe it or not, wearing makeup can help you focus better on your sports performance. How? It’s psychological. Having a routine that ensures your brows are on point or embracing your dewy skin, can make you feel prepared and ready to take on anything. Take our fave Serena Williams, who always wore her signature eyeliner whilst competing, claiming that it helped to give her the edge in every match. To get Serena’s iconic look, try our Fast Stroke Waterproof Gel Eye Definer it’s waterproof, easy to use and lasts up to 24 hours. Game, set, match.
You’ll go glow far.
When it comes to most sport makeup, remember to keep it light so your skin can breathe when you sweat. For a lightweight and long wearing base, try our Lasting Perfection Buildable Powder Foundation. Not only is it water resistant and infused with vitamin E to protect skin, but it also keeps skin shine free for up to 12 hours.
For gymnastics or dance, you can go beyond a base and really embrace makeup as part of your performance. Gymnast Simone Biles often focuses on glowing skin and defined eyes. Highlighters are perfect for adding a touch of glow to your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose, our go to is the Power Play Wet Look Highlighter. With up to 12 hours of wear, this highlighter boasts an ultra-creamy texture and a bouncy powder feel. It’s transfer proof yet buildable, allowing you to dial up the shine from subtle radiance to a dazzling high-gloss finish. Next, add our bestselling Lash Surge Waterproof Mascara to elongate lashes, but not worry about potential smudging.
On to a winner
No matter the sport, make sure you choose makeup that is long-lasting, sweat proof, durable and lightweight and always finish with a setting spray. We recommend Collection’s Primed & Ready Mattifying Setting Spray it’s lightweight and water resistant with blemish fighting niacinamide, it will lock your look in for the long haul.
We wouldn’t recommend any make up for swimming, as submerging yourself in the water may cause it to fully remove!
No breakouts here
Before your gym sesh or big tournament, make sure to always cleanse and hydrate to prep your skin. A primer with added skin benefits will be beneficial in your routine too, we love our Primed and Ready Mattifying Primer. Containing Witch Hazel, this primer not only gives you a smooth base, but it also has natural antibacterial properties to promote clear skin, which fights against breakouts.
After sports, it’s crucial to cleanse again to remove any sweat and residue, which will prevent breakouts. Follow up with a good moisturizer to keep your skin happy and healthy.
Makeup is about expressing ourselves, and it can play a big role even when we’re breaking a sweat. We’ll be cheering you on, always!
