One thing about Ilona Maher is that she's always going to be herself. Whether that's (literally) lifting up her partner on Dancing with the Stars or rocking a bold lip on the rugby pitch, her confidence is unmatched.

Speaking of bold lips, she revealed to E! the lipstick that withstood everything from sweat to game-winning tackles—and it's the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick.

"I started wearing it back in 2020 and I would wear it at games," she explains. "It was a cool way to bring a bit of myself out onto the pitch." The long-wear, budge-proof Maybelline lipstick became her signature look that she's now known for.

Ilona also shared her tip for making her go-to Maybelline liquid lip last well past the game ends. “Don’t put it on if you have anything on. Don’t put chapstick on," she advises. "Your lips have to be dry for it to really stick.”

Another Ilona-approved essential? Coppertone sunscreen. Ideal for game day, the athlete and social media star has been using Coppertone for years. “It’s a brand that I’ve always used and always had in my locker," she says.

Shop the long-lasting Maybelline lipstick Ilona swears by plus more of her must-have summer beauty essentials.

Of this long-wear liquid lipstick Ilona raves, "It does not come off. You can tackle as much as you want and it will stay on.” Her go-to shades are Self Starter (a coral pink) and Pioneer (a classic red).

Coppertone SPORT Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50

This Coppertone sunscreen is another one of Ilona's must-haves. From the pitch to the beach, this sweat-resistant sunscreen will protect you against sunburns.

Coppertone Sport Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 60+

Coppertone but for your face. This lightweight SPF lotion will protect your skin and won't clog pores.

Old Navy Graphic Baseball Cap for Women

“Although sunscreen is great, I still like a hat," says Ilona. This cute cap adds extra sun protection and pop of color to your summer ensemble. 

K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo

“My hairstylist was just telling me about a K18 dry shampoo that you can blow dry in when it’s wet.”

SWEET VIEW Boar Bristle Slick Back Hair Brush

When her hair is greasy, Ilona will “Put it in a slicked-back [style] and go for that clean girl aesthetic.” This two-piece brush set is ideal for achieving the sleek look.

Paris Hilton's fashion picks just dropped at Old Navy and we have two words: "That's hot."
