Prep Team Makeup Look

We’re starting with the Prep Team look. This style focuses on shimmer, glow, and a soft sparkle that shines beautifully under the lights.

Step 1: Highlighter

Grab a Q-tip and pull the cotton slightly so it picks up more product. Swirl it into the highlighter and apply it gently to the inner corner of the eye and near the tear duct. You can spray the Q-tip with setting spray beforehand to make the highlighter even more noticeable.

Step 2: Loose Powder

Dust some loose setting powder under your eyes. This helps sweep away any fallout and makes cleanup super easy.

Step 3: Liquid Glitter

Apply liquid glitter across the eyelid from the inner lid to the outer corner. Fan your eyes and let it dry for a couple of minutes. If you're in a rush, use a blow dryer on the cool setting to speed up drying time.

Step 4: Mega Glitter

Use a Q-tip to squeeze out a tiny amount of mega glitter—about a dime size or less. Spread it onto the temples for a sparkling accent. A little goes a long way, so start small and add more if needed.

And that’s the finished Prep Team look for GTFL Athletics.

Elite Team Makeup Look

This look is bold, dramatic, and perfect for high-level routines. Follow each step to build a striking blue-and-silver smokey eye paired with a clean matte lip.

Step 1: Eyeshadow Patches (Optional)

You can use eyeshadow patches, tape, or even a bandaid edge to create a clean cat-eye line. This is optional but gives a sharp finish.

Step 2: Primer

Apply a thin layer of primer across the eyelid to help the eyeshadow lock in place.

Step 3: Loose Powder

Dust loose powder under the eyes to catch fallout.

Step 4: Light Shimmer Eyeshadow

Use your fingertip to press the light shimmer shade onto the inner lid and near the tear duct.

Step 5: Blue Shimmer Eyeshadow

Use a dome brush to apply the blue shimmer shade into the crease and sweep it toward the outer corner. Blend with a fluffy brush to soften the color.

Step 6: Navy Matte Eyeshadow

Pack the navy matte shade into the outer corner using a dome brush. Press it in a V shape. Blend lightly with a fluffy brush.

Extra tip: If you want a sharp cat-eye edge, line your finger from the outer corner of your eye to your eyebrow while packing in the shadow.

Step 7: Silver Shimmer Eyeshadow

Use your fingertip to apply silver shimmer across the inner and middle lid, blending it up to the navy shade. Use a fluffy brush lightly to smooth the colors together.

Step 8: Eyeliner

You can use the liquid felt tip liner or black eyeshadow.

For liquid liner: Dot the liner across the lid, then drag to connect the dots and wing it out toward the eyeshadow patch.

For eyeshadow liner: Spray an angled brush with setting spray, pick up black shadow, dot across the lid, and connect the dots into a wing.

Step 9: Glitter Accent

Apply a tiny dot of eyeshadow primer onto your hand. Pat a little of the silver glitter eyeshadow onto the crease to add a small sparkle pop right on top of the blue shade.

Step 10: Mascara

Add two coats for extra volume.

Step 11: Magnetic Lashes (Optional)

Add regular eyeliner first as a placement guide. Then apply two coats of magnetic liner and press the lashes directly onto the liner so every magnet has a solid hold.

Step 12: Remove Fallout

Sweep away the loose powder and any eyeshadow fallout.

Step 13: Lips

Use a makeup wipe to clean your lips. Apply matte liquid lipstick by lining first and filling in with a thin coat. Let it dry completely.

Important: Do not add balm or gloss underneath or over the matte lip—this keeps it transfer-proof.

Step 14: Mega Glitter

Using a Q-tip, apply a very small amount of mega glitter to the temples. Start small—you can always add more.

And that is the complete Elite Team Makeup Look for GTFL Athletics. Have a great season!
