Hilary Knighthas had some big wins recently, but she also appreciates the small ones.

TheProfessional Women’s Hockey Leagueplayer teamed up withe.l.f. Cosmetics and PEOPLEto givea pep talkabout how she sets herself up for success. The first rule? Be mindful of all the little things.

“Life throws a ton of stuff at us, and the best piece of advice that I’ve ever received is to search for small victories,” she says as she begins to do her makeup routine. “So my first victory of the day is getting out of bed. My second is going to be my prep for the day, and I love e.l.f.’s ‘Camo’ hydrating cream, absolutely love it.”

Hilary Knight #21 of Boston skates during overtime in the PWHL game against Montreal at the Verdun Auditorium on January 13, 2024 in Verdun, Quebec, Canada. Boston defeated Montreal 3-2 in overtime.

“When I accumulate all these little victories throughout the day, I’m building confidence,” she admits. “And sometimes it’s not your day, but it’s gonna prepare you for tomorrow.”

She adds: “Not every day can be your day, but we can try.”

Next, the athlete, who plays for the PWHL’s Boston team, adds some color to her face, putting on a dot ofa vibrant pink blush from the brandon each cheek, and going in with that same brush to blend it out.

“My other favorite product to get ready for the day is e.l.f.’s liquid blush. Nothing like a good, nice, tiny pop of color to help me attack that day and get that confidence going,” she says.

Knight then announces that she is finished. Keeping her makeup simple, she enhances her natural beauty, which allows her to feel ready to take on the day.

“Let’s chase those small victories together,” she says as the pep talk concludes.
