Alysa Liu<\/a>, champion figure skater and owner of two new shiny gold medals, is responsible for one of the biggest beauty moments of the 2026 Winter Olympics. After winning gold<\/a> in the women\u2019s singles event on Thursday, the 20-year-old was heard on the live broadcast saying a very relatable phrase: \u201cWait, my lipstick!\u201d The woman wanted a fresh lip for the medal ceremony \u2014 can you blame her? Afterward, the internet went into a frenzy trying to figure out which product she used. Eagle-eyed fans hypothesized that it was Rare Beauty\u2019s lip oil<\/a> in the shade Delight, a rosy brown.<\/p>\n

I had to know if the sleuths were right. Naturally, it was one of the first questions I asked her when I hopped on a call with her on Sunday. \u201cI use the color Delight,\u201d she confirmed. \u201cI\u2019ve experimented with a ton of lip products over the years, and this one\u2019s been perfect.\u201d But that\u2019s not the only thing I interrogated her about. I asked Liu all about her makeup routine, viral hair journey, and more \u2014 although, as she admitted, she keeps it all pretty simple. \u201cI really am my father\u2019s daughter,\u201d she said. Keep reading for all the details plus the reason she seems so chill all the time.<\/p>\n

Because I\u2019m taking a gap year from school, it\u2019s pretty chill. I wake up around 7:30 a.m. and train in the mornings for about an hour. I don\u2019t like the taste of coffee, so I don\u2019t drink it. Everyone tells me that I will when I grow up, but I\u2019m grown and I just don\u2019t like it. For skin care, I really only use sunscreen in the mornings. It\u2019s the Shiseido Anessa Sunscreen Skincare Milk.<\/p>\n

I love to express myself in any way I can, and makeup is just another art form I love to indulge in. I start with the Sephora Cream Contour Stick. Then I dab the Sephora black eye-shadow stick on a brush and apply it. I use the Rare Beauty gel liner to line my entire eye and then I use the Tarte tubing mascara. I love tubing mascara \u2014 I will die on that hill. It\u2019s so good, and it doesn\u2019t rip out my lashes. I like the Rare Beauty eyebrow pencil for filling in my eyebrows and making them more even. I also use it to contour my aegyo sal. After that, I use the Rare Beauty lip oil. I go a little heavier with the eyeliner on competition days because on-camera, you can\u2019t really see it, but it\u2019s pretty much exactly the same as what I do every day. I also only use the Rare Beauty powder blush and E.l.f. setting spray for competitions. Those are the only differences.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a night showerer because throughout the day, I train a lot and I get sweaty. I do not go to bed in that state. I forget the names of the products, but I buy the Asian shampoo I normally use from 99 Ranch Market. I\u2019ve been experimenting with conditioners a lot, and the one I use right now is another Asian product. My hair mask is also from a popular Asian brand, and it has a gold screw-on lid. My bodywash is also from 99 Ranch, and I use it with an African net sponge, which makes me feel so clean. I like the Venus MoistureGlide razor. And I just use any body lotion. To take my makeup off, I use the Makeup Melting balm from E.l.f. Cosmetics. I use an eye cream \u2014 I have no idea what brand \u2014 and then I use a snail-mucin product for my moisturizer.<\/p>\n

I lived such a not-chill life when I was a kid that everything seems so lovely and wonderful now. I feel like I\u2019m living my dream. I get to express myself on big stages, and people get to see that. To manage stress, I call my friends as much as possible. I hang out with them as much as I can. Same with my siblings. I like to socialize. I\u2019m such an extrovert. I took the MBTI test \u2014 I\u2019m an ENFP.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think my hair is that healthy, but it looks like it is because I got it styled at a hair salon two days ago, so it\u2019s still holding up. The story behind my hair started back in 2023. I did a halo myself, but it was much thinner. This is the thickest and lightest it\u2019s ever been. Before, it was more gingery; it really just looked like the light was hitting my hair. Then it grew out, and the same time the next year, I did another one. This year was the third year. So I made the stripe superthick, and then the hair salon made the other two stripes thick to match it, and then we lightened them and toned them. It\u2019s been a great hair journey. I use the &honey hair oil because it\u2019s anti-frizz. I have wavy hair, so hair oil is essential for me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a huge fragrance person. My brother\u2019s the bigger fragrance lover, actually. I only found my perfect perfume because he\u2019s a perfume connoisseur. I use the jasmine-tea-scented Gucci perfume. That\u2019s one I\u2019ve settled on, and I really like it.<\/p>\n

I work out four times a week in the gym. Two of the days are stability, and the other two are strength and power, and I do conditioning as well. Stability is core and bodyweight exercises and a lot of band retention. For strength and power, I\u2019m hitting the squat rack, box step-ups with bar, jumps, and band jumps. And I go on the StairMaster to do cardio intervals. You have to build up to this point, of course, but the intervals are 30 seconds on level 20, 20 seconds off, 30 on, 20 off. It\u2019s actually really intense. You do that only about six times, but you\u2019re dead by the end of it.<\/p>\n

This is low-key TMI. But when I was younger, because my dad was the one who pretty much raised us, I didn\u2019t know what shampooing was. I must have been maybe 8 years old, and my hair was super-greasy, and I didn\u2019t know why until my friend told me, \u201cYou need a shampoo.\u201d And I was like, \u201cWhat is that?\u201d She was like, \u201cWhat do you use?\u201d I was like, \u201cJust conditioner.\u201d And she was like, \u201cGirl, what?\u201d Because my dad genuinely just didn\u2019t know, I guess, because it was his first time being a girl dad. But I learned, and that\u2019s when I discovered that, Wow, there could be so many ways I could elevate my life right now.<\/p>\n
