Workout Question

Sheisinlove109

Okay, so this may seem like a stupid question...

Workout girls, I like to wear mascara all day then head to the gym at night but when I leave the gym I would look like a circus clown from serious sweat and mascara running.

I changed to waterproof (a few kinds) but I can't get any of them off! I've tried several different make up removers! Grrr...

Favorite volume and length waterproof mascara with removed that works?! Suggestions please.

The micellar water seems to be a really good remover.

Cold cream works. I use waterproof mascara too. Leave the cream on for a minute before wiping. Hope that helps.

Take some makeup remover cloths with you and take mascara off before workout? That way you don't have to use waterproof...I have never been a huge fan of waterproof

I can usually get my waterproof ones off with eye makeup remover wipes like these http://www.boots.ie/boots-essentials-fragrance-free-eye-make-up-remover-pads-40-10085456 you can get them in most supermarkets, pharmacies and probably even in dollar shops.

Thin layer of Vaseline. Even the oil based removers take my lashes with them. UGH!
Waterproof is only for absolutely necessary occasions.

The other alternative you may not have explored yet is to embrace it. If you know you're mascara is running, use the opportunity to have a bit of fun. Glare at others in the locker room with a crazy look in your eyes or maybe walk in circles in front of the locker room sinks with your shoulders hunched and head down muttering "They think I'm crazy, I'll show them crazy" to yourself over and over again. Bonus points if you combine the two options.

I find this the easiest option too since waterproof is such a pain to remove and is never as nice to wear.

If I work out in the evening, I always give my face a wipe first so that nothing ends up running down my face or caking with sweat or whatever. Doesn't have to be a full-on cleansing routine, I just quickly get the bulk of it off so I don't look crazy(ier) and then wash my face properly after.

If you really want to wear makeup at the gym, though....a couple of sprays of this stuff on your face before you start and nothing will budge. I used to use it when I bartended and my face was still on after 10+ hours of racing around shaking martinis and lifting kegs. My best friend used it a couple weeks ago for her bachelorette and woke up the next morning with a killer hangover and a perfect smokey eye, lol.

Any of those eye makeup removers that separate in the bottle are best for removing makeup. Lancome started it with the BiFacil but most drugstore brands also have their own version now. I have one from CVS that works great, couple swipes with a cotton pad gets it gone.
