Alysa Liu won big and made history at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Thursday, February 19. The 20-year-old figure skater took home her second gold medal at the women's individual singles event after winning her first gold in the team figure skating event alongside her fellow Blade Angels, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito. Her win marks the first time Team USA took home the gold in women's figure skating since Sarah Hughes achieved the feat in 2002.


She hit the ice for an impressive performance set to Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park," earning a score of 226.79. As soon as she wrapped, she skated toward the cameras with pure joy, exclaiming, "That’s what I'm fucking talking about!"


And, if Alysa wasn't relatable enough as is, she frantically searched for her Rare Beauty lippie as she walked through the Kiss-and-Cry Zone after her win. Seriously, the Olympian is a whole mood!

Fans quickly noticed that she sported Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil at the Milan Games—including the beauty brand’s founder, Selena Gomez. The multihyphenate took to her Instagram Stories to reshare a post of the Olympian, writing, "Congratulations @alysaxliu (She's just like me fr)."

As for the rest of the internet, they've tracked down the exact shade Alysa wore during the moment. According to several sleuths, it looks like she opted for "Delight."


Of course, fans are also convinced Alysa should star in an upcoming Rare Beauty campaign after her historic win (and the iconic moment with her lippie).


"They need to make a commercial out of the 'wait i need my lipstick' after winning the olympics," one fan wrote on TikTok comments section, while another added, "I wanna be Alysa Liu's lipstick and jacket handler. I couldn't think of a more honorable position."


We couldn't agree more—your move, Rare Beauty!
