New York Giants wide receiver Braxton Berrios knows his way around a makeup bag.
In a recent TikTok posted to the team’s official account, players were challenged to identify a basket of everyday beauty products. While his teammates floundered, the 30-year-old athlete put on an absolute clinic.
A Flawless Beauty Score
The basket featured standard cosmetic arsenal items, including an eyelash curler, a hair clip, and setting spray. Berrios rattled off the correct names for all 11 items without breaking a sweat.
“I don’t want to do this anymore,” Berrios joked as his winning streak continued.
Holding up a spray bottle, he laughed at his own unexpected expertise. “I’m so upset right now, I’m so mad I know this. This is setting spray.”
After nailing the 11th item, he walked off camera, declaring, “Yeah, we are so done with this game.” He later took to the comment section of the video to add a self-deprecating final word: “I feel betrayed.”
Teammates Miss the Mark
The rest of the Giants roster proved just how impressive Berrios’s performance was. One player examined a heatless curling rod and guessed it was a “mini neck pillow.”
Another player dismissed a pack of pimple patches as “just accessories.”
Even quarterback Jaxson Dart, who dates style influencer Marissa Ayers, completely struck out. Dart guessed that a dark eyeshadow palette was blush, while other players assumed the palette was foundation or lip liner.

Fans Credit the “NFL Man” Era
Viewers immediately knew who to thank for the receiver’s extensive cosmetic knowledge: his ex-girlfriend, Alix Earle. The 25-year-old influencer built a massive following through her “get-ready-with-me” videos and style tutorials.
Fans flooded the comments, pointing out that Berrios clearly paid close attention during their relationship.
“This is actually very endearing,” one viewer wrote. “He loved Alix and paid attention to her. Very sweet.”
Another fan noted, “Alix would be proud she trained this one.”

Internet Frenzy
The video quickly went viral, with commenters praising the athlete’s unexpected talent. Viewers called the performance attractive, with one user writing, “He pays attention. He’d be a cute girl dad.”
The crossover moment inevitably spilled over to Earle’s TikTok page. Fans flocked to the comments of a recent video where she was filming herself getting ready for the FIFA World Cup final match.
“Alix, did you see that video where he knew all the products,” one user asked. “Hilarious.”
Earle and Berrios made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards. Earle, who frequently referred to Berrios as “NFL Man” in her content, officially confirmed their relationship in November 2023 before the couple eventually parted ways.
