    I work out right after I get out of work... and I do have makeup on. However if it sweats off or smudges I don't care haha - I don't put too much on anyway.

    I usually have makeup on at the gym because I go straight after class or work, but I don't see why you'd care if it stays on once you're there. Even if you're going somewhere after i'd re-apply since your sweaty self will need a shower.

    I've never had any issues with this. I don't put makeup on before going to workout except sometimes some powder over my blemishes if I have any. I do go to the gym in eye makeup sometimes if I already had it on before the gym and I've never had issues with it running or anything... I just use regular cheap stuff that you get at drug stores.. Not waterproof.

    I feel uncomfortable running without my lip balm (i actually think i am addicted to it). if i need an extra boost of confidence, I'll throw on some eyeliner. woo hooo :tongue:

    Considering that of late, my workouts involve rolling out of bed, throwing on some random shorts and t-shirt, yanking my hair back in a ponytail (without even brushing) and hitting the elliptical in my basement, I don't worry too much about my appearance. Afterwards I hit the shower, wash my face, and put on makeup for my workday.

    On another note, I have noticed that my skin has been better lately (not as many breakouts) since I've been exercising regularly. Has this happened to anyone else? Theories on why--more blood flow, more water intake, or ???

    i wear makeup in hiking dates because it's good to look cute on dates, regardless of what you're going to be doing :laugh:

    i tend to just go with lighter coverage so instead of trying to pull of some vampy smokey eye whorishness. so i wear i'll wear a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen (which is just a mix of my moisturizer and a little foundation for color), a waterproof mascara and a tinted lip balm

    if i'm going to the gym i always wash my face first before starting. i tend to go crazy beast mode in the gym and make up just ends up running in my eyes and stinging them.

    <---I wear my makeup like this, everywhere I go, ESPECIALLY to the gym.

    Haters just wish they could be so fierce.

    hahahahahahaha

    good Lord a lot of judgey ppl out there about effin makeup!

    Some ppl like to wear makeup while working out. Acne scars and potmarks can be embarrassing, and if feeling more confident by wearing makeup gets ppl working out than so be it.

    who are any of you to judge that?!

    Not judging--if I was going to a gym where people would see me, sure I'd make a little more effort with the hair and makeup. Whatever makes a person confident enough to actually DO the workout is a good thing. No makeup, full-on done-to-the-max, or anything in between makes no difference to me.

    It's great that companies have made products that will stay put in the heat, whether it's due to a workout or just general 100+ degree temps. I can just imagine the agony of having mascara in my eyes while trying to workout!! AAAUUUUUGGGHHH!!!!

    I didn't realize you could spot a *kitten* by the style of her makeup. I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time I decide to do a smokey eye.

    Lols. Favorite of the day "vampy smokey eye whorishness." That's my go to. Although I suppose if she knows a thing or two about make-up, she's entitled to her judgy pants. Time for me to go whorish it up for girl's night.

    my favorite auntie used that term when she saw a photo of me all done up, so I've adopted it because I thought it was hilarious. Mind you she's in her 60's

    Her: Oh I see you're wearing that vampy whorish eye make up
    Me: Uh yeah you mean smokey eye?
    Her: is that the name? Well whatever it is you have to show me how to do that

    :laugh: I love my auntie

    Seriously though i personally take no offense to the term *kitten*. I determine who I am and what I think of myself, not other people.

    @sleepytexan : I LOVE makeup forever. Best foundation I've ever used. Luckily one of my best friends is a makeup artist so she can get it for me cheaper.
