    I usually have some left on from the day before and just puff on some powder and put on lip gloss and mascara b/c I look scary without them. Sweating at the gym never causes my skin to break out and while I'm not there to pick up guys or try to look good, I don't feel the need to look awful either. I don't know why some women get some worked up about some of us not wanting to look horrid when we leave the house. :grumble:

    Nope, Never. I'm there to workout not socialize etc. and could care less what I look like. I don't pay much attention to what others look like either.

    Only because I go to the Gym on my lunch break and it's already on. When I go out for a run in the morning or on the weekends, heck no! I doubt I would put on any make up just to go sweat it off if I went to the gym outside of my work day. Then again, I'm not inclined to care about whether or not people are looking at me when I'm at the gym. I do, however, like to have nice looking gym clothes. I don't like ratty looking attire. So, that may be my little source of vanity/pridefulness.

    I don't wear makeup to the gym because it's a waste of good makeup!

    I wear what I feel good in! I don't feel like I need make up, but it gives me confidence to at least have some mascara on!

    Mostly just eye makeup. I try not to wear any foundation because it makes me feel yuck when I start sweating and I'll probably break out or something.

    NEVER. But then again, I very rarely wear make up at all. I don't wear it to classes or work either, just nights out.

    I go to the gym looking like "Plain Jane!" I remove my make-up before leaving the house headed to the gym! I'm not going there to look cute, I'm going to workout! Besides I think sweating with make-up on your face is not good for the skin.

    Only if I didn't remember to wash it off first. Otherwise nope...I am not there to look pretty. I am there to kick *kitten*!

    I wear mascara whenever I leave the house (even to go the gym). I only put on other makeup when I'm going on a date or going to a special event. I don't like to look at myself without mascara - therefore I put it on dailiy and sometimes reapply once or twice in the day especially if I go swimming or sweat a lot. However, I wear oversized tee shirts and baggy shorts to work out at the gym. Not sexy at all.

    I usually do - only because I usually head straight to the gym after work.

    Same with me...I just go straight from work, so I have a full face of makeup on.On the weekends I wear foundation and BB cream under it though, I have acne scaring from a stress breakout from YEARS ago. I don't break out now, and sweating with my makeup doesn't break my skin out, but I feel really awful and hideous without foundation because of the pitting, so I am never out in public without it....

    I've definitely dabbed on some concealer before heading out the door, but for the most part I’m of the mindset that the gym is for sweating, not modeling. What about you? Does wearing a full face of makeup help you feel empowered or just weighed down?

    When I used a gym, I used to go straight after work. I couldn't be bothered to remove my makeup before I worked out; I'd remove it afterwards when I showered. Some people probably thought I had dolled up to go to the gym, but they were dead wrong - I sweated like a pig on the cardo machines and lifted free weights and didn't care who was looking or what they thought.

    What people dress like at the gym, or whether they wear makeup or not, is up to the individual, and you can't tell a thing about a person by looking at them standing there. You can tell a lot more by watching them train.

    I don't think these two are mutually exclusive.

    My gym...is the fitness centre on the main level of our condo building so I guess I can't really see the point in getting up and putting on makeup just to go downstairs and sweat it off. Plus...the few hotties I've seen that live here, are never in the gym when I'm there anyways.

    Nope! I like going fresh faced, because I plan on sweating.

    If I have it on I wear it but I don't go out of my way to put makeup on before heading out. I'm there to get a good burn not worry about what others are thinking about me.
