Whether she’s scoring points for the Los Angeles Sparks or spearheading the new, player-owned basketball league Unrivaled, WNBA point guard Rae Burrell is a go-getter. Off the court, though, a pump-up song, minimalist makeup and a cute kitten heel keep her going.
Tried + True Beauty Products
Burrell says she likes to stick with products that work. “I’ve gotten into body oils lately, like Sol de Janeiro’s Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil ($52), and I feel so soft when I use them.” Dr. Sturm’s Darker Skin Tones Cleanser ($80) has also become a mainstay in her routine. “I don’t do a lot, but I always wash my face.”
Vibe Check
“My current mood is Doechii,” Burrell says. “Her music, her style and all the work she’s putting out is inspiring my energy right now. She’s so confident and she knows what she wants.”
Comfort Rituals
Whether she’s coming home from back-to- back practices or a dinner with her teammates (her favorite post-win celebration), Burrell’s nighttime rituals are non-negotiable. A bedside diffuser, meditation music and her Kermit the Frog stuffed animal are among her must-haves.
Lash Love
“I don’t do a ton of makeup regularly—only a light foundation or moisturizer most days—but I always have my lashes and brows done. It’s what makes me feel the most confident.” While she may be a Las Vegas native, Burrell is an LA girl at heart and swears by her California-based lash tech Kai (@lashresidencellc).
In the Bag
When it comes to a free throw, Burrell has it in the bag, and what’s inside her actual bag is just as refined. “I always have hand sanitizer, my travel-sized Valentino perfume ($36), a mini lotion—Josie Maran’s Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter ($16) is a fave—and a lip gloss on me at all times.”
Fashion Files
A quick look at Burrell’s Instagram Highlights dedicated to her off-the-court outfits will convince you of her fashion status. “I’ve been experimenting more with pointy-toe heels lately. They really dress up any outfit. Jeans, a top and a sharp heel? Perfect.”
