Welcome back, beautiful friends!
On today’s Fit Body Lifestyle episode, Jami and Greg are joined once again by Fit Model Olympians Shealynn Burnett and Jane Jones for a conversation that's all about the finishing touches that can elevate your stage presence.
When people think about bodybuilding prep, they often focus on training and nutrition—but as every competitor knows, the details matter. From flawless makeup and perfectly defined curls to a seamless competition tan, your presentation is part of the complete package.
Shealynn and Jane share the lessons they've learned through trial and error, offering practical beauty tips that every competitor can use to feel confident under the bright lights. Whether you're preparing for your first show or looking to refine your stage-day routine, this episode is packed with simple strategies that can make a big difference.
Because confidence doesn't come from perfection—it comes from preparation.
5 Key Takeaways from the Episode
Practice Your Stage Glam Before Peak Week
One of the biggest mistakes competitors make is waiting until show week to test their makeup, hair, or tanning routine. Jane and Shealynn emphasize the importance of practicing during the off-season so you can troubleshoot any issues well before competition day. The more familiar you are with your routine, the more relaxed and confident you'll feel when it matters most.
Your Makeup Should Match Your Stage Tan
Competition makeup is very different from everyday makeup. Jane shares how learning to customize her own foundation shades helped her perfectly match her changing tan throughout peak week. Rather than relying on one foundation color, blending shades creates a much more natural and polished look under the stage lights.
Healthy Hair Makes Better Stage Hair
Shealynn walks through her curly hair routine, reminding competitors that beautiful stage hair starts long before show day. Hydration, proper styling techniques, and protecting your curls all contribute to fuller, healthier hair that photographs beautifully and completes your overall presentation.
Taking Control of Your Competition Tan Can Be Empowering
Both athletes discuss the benefits of learning to apply their own self-tan. While professional tanning services are a great option, understanding how to properly prep your skin, apply your tan, and make touch-ups gives competitors greater confidence and flexibility throughout peak week.
Presentation Completes the Physique
Hours in the gym build the body, but presentation allows that hard work to shine. Hair, makeup, tanning, posing, and confidence all work together to create a polished stage presence. Every small detail contributes to the overall package the judges see, making preparation outside the gym just as important as preparation inside it.
