This Is The Only Foundation Serena Williams Uses

Game, set, match

Whether she’s slaying the red carpet or killing it on the court, Serena Williams always looks amazing.

From her fierce Wimbledon outfits, to post-match hair transformations, the 38-year-old offers plenty of style and beauty inspiration.

So you can imagine our delight when the tennis star recently named some of her favourite beauty products, including her go-to foundation.

“In the past, I’ve always had to mix different foundation colours to find my perfect match,” Williams told The Strategist.

“But this product does a really good job matching my skin all on its own,” she said, referencing Bobbi Brown’s Skin Foundation Stick ($72, bobbibrown.com.au).

Bobbi Brown is one of few brands (honourable mentions must also go to Estée Lauder and M.A.C) that has consistently offered a wide range of foundation shades for years, with this particular product available in 43.

It seems the stick format also suits the mum-of-one, who admits, “I do my makeup really fast every morning because I’m always in a rush.”

As for the punchy lip colour Williams reaches for when she has a meeting or event, it has to be Pat McGrath’s MatteTrance Lipstick in Forbidden Love ($63, patmcgrath.com).

“It’s just enough to feel ‘done up’,” she said. “And it’s also very versatile — if need be, I’ll use it as a blush on my cheeks, as well as on my lips.”
