Tara Schiphof: NFL Cheerleader & Miss Georgia 2023
For Tara Schiphof, radiance is a regimen. Her life as an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader and Miss Georgia 2023 demands far more than viral beauty tricks—it requires discipline, stamina and unwavering confidence. From flawless red lips to her glow-boosting skincare tips, the former pro ballerina reveals the mindset and routines that keep her shining under pressure.
What’s your secret to looking polished amid a busy schedule?
Preparation is everything! I plan my outfits in advance, keep a structured beauty routine and focus on the foundations of my look—tailored pieces, healthy hair, glowing skin and chic jewelry. When your base is polished, everything else falls into place.
Atlanta Falcons cheerleaders often sport an iconic red lip. What’s your formula for the perfect pout?
Exfoliate, hydrate, line and layer. I start with lip balm, blot and apply liner to shape and fill. Then, layer lipstick (I love Haus Labs lip products) and lightly set with translucent powder before one final coat. Hydration throughout the day is key—beautiful lips start from within!
It takes courage to step into a stadium full of thousands. How can someone channel that same confidence?
Courage comes after you step forward, not before. Don’t wait until you feel completely confident. The more you show up, the more capable you realize you are. Channel nervous energy into excitement, and remember your audience wants you to succeed.
How do you stay disciplined with your gym and beauty routine?
Discipline is about systems, not just motivation. I schedule workouts like appointments and treat skincare as non-negotiable. Weekly, I focus on strength training, mobility and hydration. Monthly, I prioritize facials, hair maintenance and nail upkeep. Consistency is what creates that everlasting glow.
What are your go-to beauty treatments?
I love innovative skincare treatments that boost collagen and maintain glow. I’m currently loving red light therapy and monthly Hydrafacials, but I’ll always stand by the classics: SPF daily, hydration and sleep.
