With Super Bowl LIV right around the corner, we believe it’s high time we recognize the true heroes of the NFL: the cheerleaders. These women are talented performers with busy schedules and look consistently amazing while working the job of a lifetime. Here are a few trade secrets from NFL cheerleaders who effortlessly do it all.
One of the most notable aspects of any cheerleader is their energetic attitude and perpetual smile. Many of the ladies of the NFL have busy schedules and choose to start their day with meditation. By choosing to be present, they’re able to maintain their positive attitude through rehearsals and on gamedays. Due to the high amount of physical activity expected of professional cheerleaders, most drink LOTS of water to stay hydrated and keep their skin glowing. A trade secret from the Miami Dolphins’ cheerleaders is drinking Pedialyte during a game week, to guarantee they are extra hydrated for nine hours of work.

After taking care of their bodies and minds, another prominent part of being an NFL cheerleader is their signature glam. The makeup looks are different for every team based on their colors, and each performer can add her spin on the classics. Shayla D, a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins, starts her beauty routine with Fenty Beauty’s Face Primer, MAC’s Fast Response Eye Cream, and MAC Prep + Prime Lip. Most professional cheerleaders have eyelash extensions, as it eliminates a step of getting ready and really makes their eyes pop!
