Ilona Maher’s makeup routine deserves a gold medal.
The Olympic rugby player is currently competing on the 33rd season of “Dancing With the Stars” — and when it comes to her beauty routine for the show, she’s not messing around.
“I’m high maintenance now,” Maher captioned an Instagram post, revealing a behind-the-scenes look at her pre-show prep, which included wearing underarm makeup.
In the comedic clip, Maher, 28, raises her arms as her glam squad brushes on various products. “Hollywood changed me”, wrote the athlete in the video.
Unsurprisingly, there is no shortage of hilarious comments. “This gives ‘Pit Crew’ a whole new meaning!” mentioned a consumer.
Another questioned: “Should I tan my armpits?!” In the same vein, someone wrote: “We all learned that famous people tan their armpits from Ilona. ”
This interesting moment of beauty was in preparation for Tuesday’s Dedication Night, which included performances honoring someone special in their lives.
For the memorable night, Maher, whose dance partner is Alan Bersten, was trying to bare all, telling her TikTok followers that she wanted to be “naked” on stage.
“I want everyone to know that this week I went to costume and instructed them, ‘Look, I need to be naked,’” she emphasized in a video.
“I need to be as naked as allowed on national TV. All these other women are showing skin,” she added. “I need to present almost everything.”
It looks like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model achieved her goal, as her deep purple suit revealed a lot of skin. With transparent fabric, slits on each side and an open back, the costume left little to creativity.
The dance partners scored 32/40 for their rumba to Yseult’s “My Means,” which paid homage to their fellow Olympians, with all four judges giving the pair an eight out of ten.
Bravo, Maher.
