The renowned sprinter, known as the Fastest Woman in the World, has joined forces with Olay for an exciting new venture.

 

In last August, she clocked an impressive 10.65 seconds in the 100-meter dash, solidifying her status as a top contender for the USA Track & Field Olympic team bound for Paris. 

 

This is a significant milestone for Richardson, who faced a controversial suspension ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

 

Before heading to Paris, Richardson is celebrating her debut beauty partnership with Olay, promoting their innovative Cleansing Melts. 

 

These water-activated cleansing squares transform into microbubbles to effortlessly remove excess oil, sweat, makeup, and sunscreen, making them ideal for athletes and everyone else.

In an interview with Bazaar, Richardson expressed her excitement about this new role, highlighting the importance of self-care. 

 

It feels like a new journey in discovering a different part of myself,” she said. “Self-care is very important, especially as a woman, particularly for african american women. The partnership with Olay supports this,” said.

 

Richardson’s striking beauty and style have garnered widespread admiration, drawing comparisons to the legendary Olympic gold medalist Florence “Flo-Jo” Griffith Joyner. 

 

She is the greatest to ever do it,” Richardson said of the icon, whose world record for the women’s 100-meter dash still stands. “Flo-Jo inspires my journey as a competitor and a woman in expression.

 

When it comes to her beauty looks for the Olympics, Richardson prefers spontaneity. “I don’t plan out my looks. I’m an emotional, spontaneous reactor,” she shared. 

 

If I see it and feel it in the moment, I go with it.” However, her signature elements usually include her nails, eye-enhancing makeup, and lip gloss, which boost her confidence.

Richardson also keeps her pre-race rituals private but revealed that talking to her family is crucial for grounding her before competitions. “I need time to decompress, treat myself, and reflect,” she said.

 

The demands of her sport mean Richardson prioritizes a consistent skincare routine. “I want my skin to be healthy at all times,” she explained. 

 

Weather changes might affect it, but my routine stays the same.” She always packs Olay Cleansing Melts, which are travel-friendly and mess-free.

 

Although she’s not heavily into makeup, she ensures she has plenty of lip products and liners, and is an avid fan of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna.
