As a college athlete, keeping your makeup in place — whether during the big game or hustling to your next class — can feel nearly impossible. Between sweat and the spotlight, most makeup doesn’t stand a chance. Luckily, there are makeup products out there that are as tough as you are: ones that stay put, protect your skin, and keep you looking fresh no matter how intense the day gets. Our fave? Mary Kay, the brand that’s dedicated to empowering and inspiring women to embrace their beauty from the inside out with its cutting-edge skincare and extensive makeup range.
This season of college sports, we’re keeping things simple with four Mary Kay makeup must-haves designed to boost your confidence on and off the field. Breakouts? Not happening. Makeup that melts away mid-game? Forget it. These essentials are built to last through everything college athlete life throws at you.
Undereye Corrector
When the combo of two-a-day practices and early lectures starts to show, Mary Kay’s Undereye Corrector is there to save the day. Available in two versatile shades — Light Peach and Deep Peach — this brightening essential works across a wide range of skin tones to instantly neutralize dark circles and revive tired eyes. Its sweat-resistant, crease-proof formula keeps you looking wide awake from your 9 a.m. to your post-game hang.
Multi-Benefit Concealer
Being constantly on the go means you need a concealer that can keep up. Enter Mary Kay’s Multi-Benefit Concealer, the true champion of long-lasting, breakout-proof coverage. Its full-coverage formula is infused with vitamin E, which nourishes your skin while staying completely transfer-resistant, so your makeup stays put even through the sweatiest practices. Plus, it effortlessly blurs blemishes and evens out your complexion, giving you that glowy finish every single time. With this, quick touch-ups are easy, so you can focus on your game (or your next class) instead of fussing with your makeup.
Unlimited Lip Gloss
No look is complete without a pop of color. Mary Kay’s Unlimited Lip Gloss comes in 14 stunning shades for when you’re craving glossy, shimmery, or creamy vibes. Infused with vitamins C and E, the non-sticky base keeps your lips hydrated and ready for the cameras. Plus, the gloss won’t fade or melt off mid-game, so you can rock a flattering look that lasts for hours. Bonus points for choosing a shade that complements your team colors!
Great Heights Mascara
Who doesn’t love a bold lash look that fans can see from the stands? With Mary Kay’s Great Heights Mascara, your lashes will get an instant boost in length with just one coat. This buildable formula lasts up to 12 hours* without smudging or flaking, making it ideal for game days that turn into late-night celebrations. The precision brush separates and lengthens even the tiniest lashes, so you can blink, cheer, and score some baskets without worrying about it going anywhere. So, go ahead and give it your all on the field (or at the post-game dinner) — your lashes are playing to win!
