With the disappointing WNBA salary that the players make compared to male athletes, it’s the brand deals that bring in the big bucks for female basketball stars. Cameron Brink’s partnership with the multi-billion dollar company Estée Lauder is perfect for the makeup lover. In fact, it was the brand she wore for the WNBA draft and she showed the behind-the-scenes preparation for the big day in a TikTok video. As the makeup artist applied a serum on Brink’s face, she stated, “I love this part. This is the best serum.” Brink added, “The star of the show — the Double Wear Stay-In-Place foundation and it is going to be lasting on my face all day.” The final look was a chic cat-eye with a winged liner and bronzed lips.
For a more natural look, Brink shared a GRWM TikTok video for a practice session while wearing the same foundation. “I love how it’s being more accepted to wear makeup as a female basketball player. I think every time I step on the court, if I have a little something on my face [I] look good, feel good, play good,” she told her fans. After some powder, blush, and lipstick, Brink proved the makeup’s staying power by showing herself post-practice and she definitely had us convinced. When it comes to her love of all things beauty, Brink has her mom to thank for teaching her that it’s okay for an athlete to be feminine at the same time.
