They must think their something special to be hating on you! If they put all their hate towards their workout they would probably get more gains. Unfortunately there's always going to be those people that have to find something negative to say about a person to make themselves feel better..0

I know I'm going to hate replies on this but I hate seeing women who do have makeup on at the gym. It grosses me out and I don't think it's the place to wear makeup, but in saying that I would never say anything to anyone to make them feel bad at the gym. That's a sure sign of a bully.
I can get why you choose to wipe your makeup off, no big deal, but why on earth does it irritate you for others to not wipe their makeup off? In what way, shape or form does it affect you? I'm genuinely curious, not hating. I can tell you, I for one, am not going to wipe my makeup off just to appease others.
I just think it's inappropriate. There are certain places where you dress a certain way because of social decorum. You wouldn't wear the same mini skirt to church that you would wear to the club. Same rules apply to makeup.
Interesting.

I am the same way as Salsera being that it would gross me out, not that it's inappropriate. It's not that it irritates me and I expect other people to remove their makeup. Just from my own experience of how wearing makeup and sweating feels to me; it grosses me out. Not saying I would make a face or whatever. IF I noticed it would be like a 2 second thought, "Oh, man, that makeup would make my skin a million times more oily and sweaty and ahhh. Nope. Can't do it." And then I'd go on to the next thought in my head, "I wonder if my hubster filled the dog's water bowl today?" "I love this song!" "Oh, that's a cute top," "I think I want some garlic chicken for dinner," etc.0 -
I'm very forward. I would have said something to them.
"Yes, I do think I'm something special. Thanks for noticing!"
Smile and walk away.

I find that interesting, as well. I can assure you that my makeup does not affect anyone around me, nor does it affect my workouts. I can still go beast just because I chose not to wipe it off before a workout.

I think it would be inappropriate if they were wearing make up and their face was all sweaty and they were wiping their sweaty makeup on the machines and not cleaning it off. I don't wear makeup when I work out because it breaks me out, but sometimes its unavoidable. I don't like it because I come out looking nasty and my face itches but if someone said something to me that was said about the OP or told me I was being inappropriate wearing make up to the gym, I'd probably tell them which bodily orface they could shove their opinion in.0 -
*shrug* I usually go first thing in the morning before work so I don't have a stitch of makeup on.
I used to go straight from work like you're saying and I'd have my makeup on, remove it when I get home...
Women can be really snide and cruel sometimes. There's just no cause for it. Maybe they're insecure...maybe they're just really annoyed you have makeup on...who cares. You're there for you, not them. Keep at it.

I thought that happens to a lot of women. I guess I was wrong.

I would have done a 500# leg press and winked at them. Biotches
I'm there at 5:00 A.M., no makeup. If it were 5:00 P.M., I'd probably have makeup on. I could care less what they think.0 -

yea, now if they were to wipe their face off on the machines, then I could see how it would be inappropriate. Absolutely. Otherwise, anyone else has absolutely no bearing on other people.

I go to the gym at 5 am, so those people are lucky I brush my teeth for them. That said, I ended up going after work yesterday and you can bet your @$$ I still had a full face of makeup on.
^^ Same. Half the time the other gym goers are lucky if I remember to put deodorant on before I leave my apartment. I wouldn't worry to much about it OP. I think its a fair assumption that if its in the afternoon you are coming from work. Just ignore them and kill your workout

^^^^^^^ This is what my mind sounds like!!!! I admit I do get irritated when people treat the gym like a meat market. That's not why I'm there. However, I do not take my makeup off to work out. It takes long enough to get things together to go to the gym, workout, shower after, etc. etc. that I'm going to skip a step if I can. I WOULD have given a snide remark back as some other ladies suggested. I MUST be if you are talking about me or something, so they at least become aware of the fact that I heard them. When someone is clearly hating on me, I make sure I look even more fabulous and smirk at them. It's fuel for me.

This, absolutely. I am not confrontational really but I wouldn't just say nothing if I could actually hear them.

Hell yes. If they want to take time out of their day to say something about me I will certainly point that out to them and give them something to talk about.

Can't you women see that this discussion of make-up at the gym is tearing this website apart?!
With love,

I, personally, don't wear make up to the Gym, but I don't see why it would be anyone else's business.0

If she has a fantastic body, sports bra and short shorts, I wouldn't even notice if she had make up or not0

Pssshhh... I actually wear my fake eyelashes to pilates sometimes, whatevs!jazzxdaisy wrote: »so i nearly always go to the gym straight from work, and i never bother taking my make up off in between (i don't see any point, i just take it off when i get home).
yesterday while at the gym i overheard two women talking about me and how i was "well done up for the gym" and how i must really think i'm "something special".
i don't wear a great deal of make up daily anyway, but it rattled me.
i pay the same membership as everyone else there and if i wanted to go to the gym in fake eyelashes and full party make up i would!
