WWE champion Jade Cargill is setting new standards at WrestleMania with an array of sophisticated hair and makeup styles. By combining her passion for bold glamour with her innate athletic prowess, the star not only represents women both inside and outside the ring but also challenges traditional norms within the WWE.
While costuming is certainly a vital aspect of the WWE’s narrative – for Cargill, beauty is equally critical. Thanks to her makeup artist Marandan Renea and hairstylist Shanae Bowles, the performer presented a desert-themed appearance at WrestleMania, including her iconic silver hair and a warm cut crease. Beyond enhancing her persona, beauty also grants Cargill the additional energy needed to perform at her highest level.
Next, we converse with Jade Cargill about being a female in a male-dominated sport and her strategies for ensuring her makeup withstands her perspiration-heavy contests.
On Her Zeal for Makeup and Hair
Makeup and hair significantly define my wrestling identity and character as Jade Cargill. For WrestleMania, it starts with a theme and builds from there. Color communicates emotion. This season, being in Las Vegas, we thought it perfect to emulate me as a sandstorm – and truthfully, I am someone who performs best when I feel and look good.
On Representing Women in the WWE
It signifies everything. We compete in a male-dominated realm, so each occasion we have to stand out, we maximize our time and capitalize on it. I hope we continue to receive more opportunities and major moments like this. Currently, the women’s division is storming the scene. I believe we excel when we embrace these roles and perform, so it’s of immense importance.
On Ensuring Her Glamour Endures
One Size On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray. We’ve been using One Size extensively. My makeup artist, Marandan [Rene], has been leveraging it, and our makeup has persisted through all our matches. We perspire profusely, and we literally grapple with each other, which makes ensuring our makeup lasts and our eyelashes remain crucial. People may think foundation is key, but truly, the finishing touches make all the difference.
On Her Essential Beauty Regimen
A non-negotiable is skincare. There’s a specific rebalancing face mask by Biologique Recherche. Billie Eilish also praises this mask. I apply this once a week, and I assure you it literally draws out any surplus makeup from my pores — and remember, this is TV makeup — so using this face mask is a must as it offers me a pristine canvas.
