Are there any skaters who use a hair stylist and a make-up artist?

[Bennett]

I wonder if any skaters use a professional hair stylist and a professional makeup artist. Do you know any skaters using such professional help when they skate at competitive events? I've seen several skaters who look 200% more sophisticated after they retired and started to skate at shows, which made me wonder.

I don't know any, but some of them really need help, so maybe they should.

Rachael Flatt had a makeup artist from MAC with her at the U.S. Championships to help with her new look. Prior to the nationals, she signed a deal with the company. Here is the information on the partnership from her site RachaelFlatt.net:

MAC Cosmetics partners with Rachael

January 15, 2009 — MAC Cosmetics recently announced a partnership with Rachael Flatt, the current 2008 US ladies silver medalist and World Junior Champion. MAC will act as Flatt's preferred cosmetic company heading into the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.

MAC chose Flatt because of her beauty and grace, both on and off the ice. "We are thrilled to work with an elite athlete such as Rachael," Melissa Gibson, Senior Artist, MAC PRO Team stated. "Rachael’s confidence and maturity as a skater and as a young woman exemplifies what MAC stands for – beauty both inside and out."

Her beautiful MAC smile was further enhanced in December with the removal of her braces.

Many sure could use one. Caydee needs to lose the bangs and whole 80's look she has going. IMO, Keaua wears way to much makeup for her age and other skaters like Kimmie don't wear enough.

Mikki Ando looks better and younger without being so made up. Who is Caydee? I think Kimmie could use more makeup as well, especially eyeliner.

 

[Tonichelle]

Caydee skated with Jeremy Barrett at the US national championships... they were the "spoilers" in teh pairs event.

....and other skaters like Kimmie don't wear enough.

no. NO!!! She has natural good looks and therefore doesn't need to wear a lot of make-up. In fact, that's one reason why I find her refreshing- she doesn't overdo it. Besides, do you see how red her face gets when she skates? I only hope Team Meissner doesn't make her change her mind, especially with what she's been going through.

ETA: I think there are many other skaters who should be wearing less make-up as well *cough*Ando

im actually on the other side of the thought about Keauna. I like her make up, and yeah its noticeable, but i think it works and makes her look more mature. =]

I think Kimmie has such a fresh, natural beauty, she just doen't need much make-up. I like that she isn't such a pwetty pwincess like some of the others.

I think Jenny Kirk used to have a hair stylist. She used to show up with all these fancy hair styles for big comps. I always thought she looked way too over-done.

I think Kimmie could use more makeup as well, especially eyeliner.

Johar, I agree. I think she needs it too.

I think Mirai could use a whole lot of help, she looks very flat and washed out on TV.

Wow, cool! Her natural beauty comes across more for the Bobbi Brown type (though may be too young) than MAC, but still very nice.

I didn't get to see the Championships. So did you guys see the difference in her looks? I'm curious!

Lobacheva and Averbukh used to have their own hair stylist.

I was wondering what she looked like "IRL." She looks nice. I agree the bangs and makeup were too severe during competition. Not flattering.

Thank you FSOWebmaster! I like the red lipstick. She does look more mature than usual!

Carolina Kostner. There are just so many ways to make her look much more attractive.

 

[Ladskater]

Of course!!! Especially the show skaters.

When she performs in Torino, Carolina Kostner is hair styled by Franco Curletto which is a famous professional hair styler.

She is also sponsored by L'oreal hair products and L'oreal - Biotherm cosmetics, but most of the time, she shows a quite natural make up style ( this actually doesn't mean she doesn't make up at all the ladies know how it works )
I really loved her hair style back in 2007

but I didn't like last year so much (though I love the accessories she wore in the SP)

I think this year's haircut suits her better
