In fact, aside from aiding the hawk-eyed mom who’s dialed in on her football-playing son make moves on the field, the glasses Donna wears at games have special significance. She’s previously opened up about how she wears red frames, specifically, when she attends Chiefs games.

That’s why the spirited mom — who used to wear green frames when supporting her now-retired son, former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, at games — is particular about her eye makeup and had one specific requestwhen getting readyfor the recent Chiefs game.

While Kaye tells PEOPLE that Donna was “good with false lashes,” she revealed that she asked that they were not long in length. “She’s like, ‘As long as they don’t hit my glasses.’ And I was like, ‘Don’t worry, I packed a small pair for you’!” the makeup artist said.

The glam artist made clear, “We did use a very small false lash.”

As for the rest of her glam, Kaye recalls Donna telling her that she likes to “look like [her] normal” self. She said “the goal” was to make sure her makeup wasn’t overdone, therefore, they went with “a very elevated soft glam.”
