    I don't take my makeup off before going the gym during my lunch hour or in the evening, but I also don't put makeup on if I go in the morning.

    I go to the gym after work, I take it off. I only wear light make up but I can't stand the feeling on my face once I start to sweat

    I workout before I start my day so no. If I worked out in the evening I'd probably still wear it

    Never. I don't understand girls who come to the gym in full makeup, with super matchy tight outfits and sneakers, and jewelry to boot. I can't bring myself to take them seriously.

    Yes i do. I would go to crossfit after work and still have my make up on. No one cared if it was a smeary mess when i got done. On days that i go cycling i don't because it might rain and make my eyes burn.

    Wearing makeup while working out is not a good idea. It can cause pores to be blocked and cause breakout. If I have foundation and any kind of cream/powder on my skin (which I don't usually wear anyway), l wash it out. The only thing I can tolerate is waterproof mascara (assuming I was already wearing it) and lip colour.

    I wear makeup every day. If I am going running in the morning, I don't put any makeup on until after i run and shower. But if I am going later in the day, I will put makeup on in the morning as I normally do.

    After the run, I shower but don't wash my face and the makeup is fine...I just use an oil blotting sheet and touch up the lipstick and shadow if I do this. It looks great, but then I don't do really heavy makeup. If you're going for the Tammy Faye Bakker look, it might be more of a problem. LOL!

    I usually work out in the morning, so on those days I put makeup on after I've worked out and showered.

    If I work out in the afternoon or evening I'm usually coming from work, so then I have mascara, concealer, and blush on. I don't use foundation, my mascara is waterproof, and everything I buy is non-comedogenic so I don't bother wiping it off. However, I also don't sweat much right now plus our tiny gym is cold and FILLED with fans so I don't deal with that issue. In another gym I used to use I'd sweat more, so then I'd use a remover wipe if I worked out after work.

    Maybe some tinted moisturizer and light mascara, but that's about it.

    Most days I forget to wear makeup, and when I do remember it's only bb cream and mascara. More than that and it's like a child has drawn on me with crayons :)

    Lol that's how I feel.

    I wear a full face of make up to work etc. so wear it quite a lot.
    I wouldn't bother if I was going to the gym in the morning, I'd go.. then have a swim.. after the shower I'll apply my face.
    It's so bad for your skin and clogs it up especially if you're sweating..
    That said if I was to workout on an evening I'd probably leave whatever was on my face beforehand just out of laziness.

    Before work no, after work yes, whatever I still have on, I don't bother removing it :)

    If I've already got it on yes. Otherwise no. Depends what time I go.

    I leave my makeup on. It's there from work. I'll wipe my lip stick off if it's red but otherwise, it's there. I don't like running around the city without makeup on whether I'm going to the gym or not.

    If I'm going in the morning, I wont put on makeup, but if I'm already wearing some, I'm not taking it off before I go to the gym

    The amount of makeup that I wear varies depending on what I am doing and what my skin looks like.

    I work out late at night. I just keep makeup remover wipes in my workout bag. I ALWAYS take off all makeup before swimming, of course. If some reason I am wearing a lot before other workouts, I will take it off. Usually all that I have on is mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss--those are fine for just about any activity.

    I'm sure those chicks couldn't care less if you take them seriously. Who cares how someone looks at the gym? What matters is that they're there. Judgmental people such as yourself are the ones who keep people from gyms in the first place

    The girls who dress to the nines to go to the gym want to be judged. They want people to notice how cute they are. Or at least that's how it is here in the south. They also don't actually work out. They leisurely walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes or so and then hang around until some dude hits on them. And I'm sure they're judging me, too. Me with my baggy yoga pants, worn out t-shirt, no makeup, no pearls, sweating my *kitten* off. Who cares.

    You sound like a very sad person if that truly is your view on this. You're generalizing a whole group of people, I've seen plenty of women who dress up for the gym and go into the ladies room just to lift. In fact there's a few regulars I see in there everyday. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, but any sort of judging is what needs to stop at gyms, whether it's for dressing up for the gym or not. Judgement is what keep people from going to the gym to better themselves as a whole. As long as they're not in your business, stay out of theirs.

    I'm not trying to argue either; it's really not my nature. I do understand what you're saying. But I honestly think it's a regional thing and you really wouldn't I understand unless you lived in the deep "bless your heart" South lol. Either way, I wasn't trying to offend. I just stated my opinion and you came in guns blazing, so I felt the need to defend myself. If you knew me, you'd know that I'm not "sad" and I'm truly far from judgemental. Again, sorry if my opinion offended you. :)

    Haha it didn't! Sorry it came out that way I wasn't trying to attack. But hearing snarky girls in the gym talking about others grinds my nerves, and the way your op was worded is how it sounded to me at first. But I see. Have a nice night

    I am so self conscious that I never go anywhere with out makeup. So, I finally went and had permanent eyeliner applied. I am so happy with it. It was painful, but so much with it. It saves me so much time.

    I wear makeup about 70% of the time, and most of my gym visits occur on weekdays after work, so yes, I frequently, but not always, wear makeup to the gym. Only once afterwards I noticed some black fuzziness under my eyes due to my mascara. Maybe that's a bad sign that I'm not sweating enough lol

    Or you have a really good mascara!!

    I don't look like a slob when I go to gym, do wear make up, and have the audacity to wear gym clothes that match (seriously what is up with people thinking it takes a super power to wear gym clothes that match, it's like really easy...). And I do actually workout and I look pretty awesome. Not dressed up so people like you can judge me, I do it for myself because I don't like looking sloppy. I don't give AF what you're wearing or if you don't wear make up, truth is I probably wouldn't see or notice you at all. Some of us are actually focused on ourselves.

    And for those that do like to workout with make up on, as long as it's high quality I don't have any issues with my skin. I've found that "tubing" mascara, like Blinc, works the best for not budging.

    I do. My face gets super red, and I need to feel confident at the gym, so I wear what I had on or put a little on before I go. I know people think that's annoying, but I don't care. I mostly just do foundation and eye liner though. I have my own natural blush lol!

    In the summer I have decent coloring, so I'll only have lip gloss. In the winter I'll wear a little bit more, but no foundation (maybe some translucent powder), so it's mostly rubbed off by the time I go to the gym.

    I've noticed the older (shudders) I get, the more I'm into keeping my skin smooth and tight. Foundation just ages me.

    I wear makeup every day, whether I'm going to the gym or not. If I know I'm doing a workout, I use a primer instead of foundation.

    I don't know I just think makeup clogs pores as it is whether it's high quality or not. And then when you add sweat into the mix...poor pores. If you are going to wear foundation or powder I think you all should at least make sure the ingredients are oil free. When you are on the younger side it is easy to not care but you are better of taking of your skin now than maybe regretting it later.

    Yeah I started wearing make up and immediately stopped taking care of my skin lol... And sorry maybe you don't have personal experience but there is absolutely a difference between crap you buy at wal mart and higher end make up products. I don't go near cheap drug store make up.
