How Pro Makeup Artists Prep Tennis Stars' Skin for the Camera
Carson, Calif. – November 06, 2026 -- A four-step skincare routine, from exfoliating powder to SPF 50 moisturizer, helped prepare six professional tennis players for their close-ups at the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Portrait + Content Day on November 4.
Skincare brand Dermalogica teamed up with Highlight Artist Agency for the event. Celebrity makeup artists Carolina Benita and Jenny Ventura worked on the players, drawing on their experience with Hollywood red carpets and editorial beauty.
Two artists worked with six tennis players
Benita prepped Hanyu Guo, Kristina Mladenovic, Sara Errani, Linda Nosková and Karolína Muchová. Ventura worked with Kateřina Siniaková.
"Great makeup starts with great skin prep, and Daily Microfoliant is one of my go-tos," Benita said. She said it smooths away dullness and uneven texture, which matters on shoot days when every detail shows up on camera.
