Donna Kelce, the spirited mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is known for her unwavering support and signature game day style. One essential accessory always makes an appearance: her glasses. More than just vision correction, Donna’s eyewear holds special significance. She famously sports red frames for Chiefs games and previously wore green when cheering on her other son, retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce.
This dedication to color coordination extends to her makeup routine. Before a recent Chiefs game against the Houston Texans, celebrity makeup artist Allison Kaye was tasked with Donna’s game day glam. Kaye revealed to PEOPLE that Donna had one specific request: “As long as they don’t hit my glasses,” Donna said, referring to her false eyelashes. Kaye assured her, “Don’t worry, I packed a small pair for you!” The result was a subtle lash enhancement that complemented Donna’s overall look.

Donna’s makeup philosophy revolves around looking like her “normal” self, but with an elevated touch. Kaye described the goal as “a very elevated soft glam,” ensuring a look that would last throughout the long game day. Starting at 8:45 a.m. for a 4:30 p.m. kickoff, Kaye created a long-lasting look that could withstand the excitement and duration of the event.
Beyond the lashes, Donna had two specific makeup requests: a berry-colored blush and her signature lip color. Kaye delivered, using Beauty Pie’s Supercheek Cream Blush in French Raspberry for a vibrant flush. “It looked amazing on her,” Kaye commented. For Donna’s lips, Kaye opted for Beauty Pie’s Wondergel Long Wear Lip Liner in Damzel (Cool Toned Berry Pink), describing it as Donna’s “signature makeup look.”

Interestingly, Donna’s game day attire often includes subtle nods to Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift. At the Texans game, she sported accessories reminiscent of Swift’s style, including a snake ring and a bracelet from The Tortured Poets Department merchandise line. Swift herself was present at the game, further fueling speculation about the fashion tribute.

The Kansas City Chiefs ultimately triumphed over the Houston Texans in that game. Their victory marked another step in their journey towards a potential “three-peat” at the Super Bowl, a feat unprecedented in NFL history. While the Chiefs continue their quest for glory on the field, Donna Kelce remains a steadfast symbol of support, showcasing her unique blend of team spirit and personal style.
