Kelcey Wetterberg's Surprising Beauty Hack

E!: Fill in the blanks: You may not think _______ is a game day essential, but it is because _________.
KW: A dog bed, it is the perfect size to fit inside of our locker! It is something DCCs have been using for years, we even embroider them and give them to our groups as gifts! It’s a fun and comfy addition to our game day. We have to stay cozy while doing our hair/makeup!

Ksiia Washable Dog Bed

"We put them inside our lockers because when you're sitting cross-legged in your locker and doing your hair and makeup, it starts to hurt a little. So, we all have a dog bed that fits perfectly in our locker and we sit on it to do our hair and makeup."

Kelcey Wetterberg Long-Lasting Makeup Hacks

E! Is there a foundation that keeps your skin looking flawless both on the field and during long shifts as a pediatric nurse?
KW: Armani Luminous Silk! It has the most beautiful finish! It’s buildable but not too thick to make my skin feel overwhelmed.

Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation

"It’s a little bit more expensive, but it really does last me a long time, so it's worth the money."

More from Kelcey: "I can layer it. On game day, we have to do our makeup super early in the morning, and then we dance and we sweat. Then, we have to get ready again and sweat again. I feel like I can just put a little dab of extra foundation on top of my layer, and it doesn't look crazy. It even feels like it’s hydrating my skin a little bit."

"Curling my hair with the Dyson and letting it set in velcro rollers gives me the most long-lasting volume!"

More from Kelcey: "I learned about the Dyson Airwrap from a former teammate & it has been the best hair purchase I have made! It is expensive, but I truly use it at least once a day to touch up my hair. My hair is way more smooth when I use the Dyson to blow dry, and I have been able to get away with way less heat! My hair has been so much healthier."

Kelcey Wetterberg Fashion Must-Haves

KW: Their pieces can transition so seamlessly between day and night, casual and dressy. I can wear them running errands, to work, or to a nice dinner. They don’t skimp on quality or style either!

E!: UNIQLO is opening five new stores in Texas this fall. How do you think the brand’s blend of minimalist design and functionality will resonate with the Texas community?
KW: Texas is busy and always on-the-go. I think Texas will love their simple pieces that can pair well with so many things in our wardrobe already. Their functionality is unbeatable!

KW: The soufflé high neck sweater is my favorite right now! I also love their T-shirts and leggings. They are so easy to mix and match!

Kelcey Wetterberg DCC Game Day Q&A

E!: Do you have a go-to game day pump up song?
KW: I am a country girl through and through. So mine is “Man! I Feel like a Woman!” by Shania Twain. Whoever is on the speaker in the locker room, I make them play it at least once before the game starts.

E!: The DCC training camp makeovers are iconic. Do you have any beauty regrets from your pre-training camp days that you wish you could redo?
KW: When I was in college, I had very blonde hair! I don’t regret it, but it definitely wasn’t my color. About 5 months before I auditioned for DCC, I decided to dye my hair from bright blonde to dark brown. Thank goodness it ended up being a success!

E!: The DCC boots are a legendary part of the uniform. Do you have any hacks to alleviate discomfort during game days?
KW: We all have very different routines to protect our feet on game days! I would have my trainer wrap my ankles to give me more support on the turf. Then, I would wear two pairs of socks (one regular and one fuzzy pair) on top!

To be honest, nothing you do can completely relieve the soreness of standing on your feet for four to five hours. But, they are so beautiful, so they're worth every bit of discomfort! We just prioritize recovery after the game.
