Serena Williams, a tennis superstar, is embracing change and evolution in all areas of her life. In an interview with Byrdie magazine, she talks about retiring from tennis in order to focus on being a mom to her two daughters. Despite the difficulty of leaving a sport she was still good at, Serena wanted to have another child and is now looking for balance and pursuing other interests she loves. She also discusses her passion for fashion and makeup, which has led her to launch her makeup line, WYN Beauty.
Serena shares how she always loved fashion and makeup, which is evident in the unique tennis outfits and hairstyles she has worn throughout her career. She explains how she had to find creative ways to enhance her features while playing tennis, leading to her experimentation with sweat-proof makeup. This experimentation eventually led to the creation of WYN Beauty, inspired by her experiences in the locker room quickly applying makeup after matches and talking to the press.
WYN Beauty’s first line includes 10 items such as skin tint, concealer, eyeliner, and lip and cheek color, which were Serena’s go-to makeup products for post-match refreshes. The brand focuses on long-wearing and clean formulas, offering vegan and cruelty-free makeup options. Serena wanted to create products that people could use every day to enhance their natural beauty, reflecting her own approach to life and beauty.
Serena also discusses her busy life as a mom to her daughters, Olympia and Adira, and how she is adjusting to a less intense workout routine but remains active in caring for her family. She emphasizes the importance of creating a makeup collection that is versatile and effortless to use, allowing her to look glamorous whether she is on the tennis court or picking her daughters up from school. WYN Beauty aims to empower women to feel glamorous and active simultaneously.
WYN Beauty is set to debut on April 7 in Ulta Beauty stores and online. Serena is excited to share her collection with the world and hopes that it will resonate with people who, like her, want to enhance their natural beauty with functional and cool makeup products. Through her makeup line and her evolving interests and priorities, Serena Williams is embracing change and finding balance in her life beyond tennis, all while continuing to pursue the things she loves.
