Hmm... If I wear makeup when I work out, it's only mascara. If you have full makeup on while you work out, there is a bigger chance for getting pimples and bad skin. I'm diffently think makeup and sweat dosen't go well together. ;)

No but I also don't workout much hahahah. but think about it this way: what if the girl was wearing makeup before? I wouldnt take it off at a gym personally but wtv lol.

Doesn't sweating open the pores? Wouldn't that cause acne of some kind? I could be wrong. But I hate wearing mascara and then have it all in my eyes.

Yeah I don't wear foundation or powder pretty much just mascara if I'm going on base to work out I'll probably put a lil touch of eyeliner on but thats it lol completely
Agree with Jacqlyn (wow your name is spelled awesome!!lol) from experience it's clogs pours plus just looks weird when it's sweated off lol. When I SEE girls at the gym with makeup on my first reaction ( just ME!lol) is " wow they must not be working out very hard " lol that's what I think lol

Wearing makeup to work out in is absolutely obnoxious, unless you have some terrible scarring or acne and you choose to cover it with a light bb cream. Even then, that stuff will sink into your pores and break you out. Gross.

I work out after school or work so I usually don't take off my makeup then. I only wear light makeup like eyeliner, powder and lipstick. I use urban decay and tarte products and they are all waterproof and usually don't look nasty post workout :)
Since I workout after having a long day, my powder has already worn off too so it's not heavy on my skin (I don't do touchups throughout the day.)

I think you shouldn't wear makeup too the gym & when you sweat it might smear

Well I workout at my house so I don't really worry about that :p
if I went out in the morning or had yo work & plan on working out after, I just leave my makeup on. especially since I shower right after, & I don't feel like washing my face beforehand (x

I don't wear face makeup anyway. But I think it's odd. In my head, I think the girls with full makeup are there more to look cute than really work hard. I mean there's nothing wrong with that, but just my personal opinion.

If you have acne prone skin definitely not - but if you have normal skin it's alright to use a light powder or bb/cc cream although if you really are working out like you are supposed to odds are it's all going to melt off anyway - just remember to cleanse your skin immediately after the workout either with makeup removing wipes or an alcohol free toner.

I wear face makeup to the gym sometimes because I usually go right after class or work. I don't think it's weird when I see other women with makeup on, I just figure they probably went to the gym right after work and that's why they have makeup on. I sweat a lot but my face makeup doesn't really melt off I just look sweaty lol. but when I get home I will wash my face or jump in the shower and I haven't had any issues with breakouts.

Nope! By then end of your workout it'll look terrible anyways! It's just the gym😉❤️💕💕

I don't dare wear makeup to the gym. The men in my training group laugh and crack jokes about those who do. They can tell who is coming from work and has makeup on versus those who come in smelling like Bath Body Works exploded on them and super freshly made up faces. Always taking multiple breaks to get quick looks of themselves in the mirror or taking countless selfies. Some girls do fine getting away with a bb cream but I go barefaced because I want to maintain my clear skin.

If I'm working out after school I do just because I have a gym in my house, but no one is watching me. LML.

I usually have to go with make up as I go on my work/uni lunch breaks. If I was going on my day off then no :) just mascara maybe. I've had guys laughing at me because I usually have makeup on but I'm not there for them, it's for me :)

I have to put my eyebrows on no matter WHERE I go. And tbh if other ladies are judging me at the gym because of the makeup on MY face, they need to find something better to care about and focus on their own damn workout. Who cares what other women look like at the gym?! Omg. Some people go to the gym after work. Are they going to drive home, take off their face, then go back out? Lmao.

May 27, 2014

Shelley W.

Oh yeah...I forgot about those brows. I fill mine in too Grace. I completely understand those who are coming from work but it just insane to see girls who come into the gym with a freshly made full- face of makeup. Now that is just insane. They touch their faces and get the stuff on equipment and then don't even bother to wipe it down before moving on to something else. That irks to me no end.

I wear waterproof eye liner and waterproof mascara to the gym and I could careless what anyone thinks and I sweat like crAzy and it doesn't budge I wouldn't wear face makeup thou.

Grace K.

Heheehe I agree Shelley! Sorry if my comment seemed like it was angrily directed toward you lol, it wasn't at all! <3 And omggg I always see makeup on the equipment at the gym on my campus! I'm obsessive with wipes and hand sanitizer lmao.
