Is It Bad To Wear Foundation While Working Out?

I have a track meet tomorrow. My foundation is tarte and it's made from clay, it seems heavy and,like it fills everything in. Is this bad? I have acne that I always cover up, so I don't know what to do. it seems to get into your pores, so I don't know if that can keep you from sweating and if that bad. Anyone have some advice?

I would be more worried about how it looks after being sweated off.

I've always worn makeup to the gym (usually full face) and have never had an issue.

You can always just use small dabs of concealer wherever you need it.

...why even wear makeup if you're working out? I'm sorry but women seem to be kinda vain anymore :/ don't wear it to a track meet, that's silly. You'll sweat it off and it'll look worse than a bare face.

I do track and I only do waterproof mascara... Sometimes... If you are doing a event where you sweat a lot don't. But if it's something that you don't sweat a lot then wear a little

When I go running, I don't wear anything. I'm going to work out, not look nice. That's silly. A lot of people have acne so it's not like everyone's going to talk about you or tease you. You'll still look beautiful anyways :)

Bad of course.

I wouldn't. It'll just feel gross and stuff when you're done and probably clog your pores a little more.

I also always wear foundation and it doesn't affect my skin. also, it's not about being vain or whatever ideas some people have. some of us, like me, are just so insecure we don't ever want to be seen bare-faced, by anyone in whatever situation. call it silly, I think it's perfectly okay.
