Olympic teammates Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles helped each other with their makeup during this summer’s Games.
Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles bonded over makeup during the 2024 Paris Games.
The two Olympic gymnasts spent a lot of time together over the summer and – after Jordan’s older sister Jazmin “wasn’t allowed to go into the Village” to help her – she turned to her teammate for support.
She told People magazine: “We were just kind of bouncing ideas off of each other.
“[Simone] was like, ‘Ooh, do I need to put more blush here?’ and I was like, ‘Do I need to put more highlight here?’ “
She laughed, saying she teased her friend after noticing she was “using Milani a lot” in her makeup routines.
The two pals shared the occasional product with each other too.
Jordan, 23, recalled: “I think I did take some of her lip gloss or something like that. I was like, ‘Hey, can I use this real quick?'”
Jordan even helped the 27-year-old athlete with her hair “a couple of times”, which she admitted was “really cool”.
She noted that Simone “did not do my hair”, but they “had fun in the Village”.
When it comes to her own routine away from the Olympics, Jordan keeps things simple starting with a wash, and ending with a moisturiser, using just two products.
She used to use “a bunch of stuff for no reason” when she was younger, but over time she was simplified the process – “a cleanser and a moisturiser was just the best fit” – which influenced her new partnership with Vaseline.
She said: “I’ve used Vaseline ever since I was little… Literally slathered it all over my body head to toe.”
