Proof That Even Tough Girls Wear Makeup During Workouts

Meet the soccer star who unapologetically wears foundation and falsies on the field

Professional soccer player and Olympic gold medalist Sydney Leroux is a true beauty girl. She plays in full-coverage foundation. She keeps three eyebrow products in her bag at all times. And she feels naked when she isn't wearing individual false lashes.

If that sounds like overkill for the soccer field, Leroux doesn't care. "I just want to be myself in whatever I'm doing," she says. "I enjoy makeup -- that's me."

Her game-face beauty routine starts with Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Sunscreen Lotion, which she uses all over he body and on her face as a primer. "You can put it on and not feel sticky," she says. "With a lot of sunscreens, you feel like you have a layer on, but this has a micro-mesh thing that lets skin breath." The next step is Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Coverage Foundation, bronzer and always brows. "I'm a big eyebrow person," she says. "I carry two or three different pencils in my purse. Right now, I'm using one from Anastasia, one from M.A.C. and an Anastasia pomade."

Leroux's artistic expression doesn't stop there. Her tattoo game is a strong as her makeup game. "When things happen in my life, it's my way of telling my story," she says. "My way is through art -- through makeup and tattoos."

The soccer star shared a little more of her story and answered our Five Things questionnaire.
