    Depends on the day and time, but usually not, unless it's a little concealer. I look like hell at the gym :-)

    When I go to the gym after work, YES I leave my make up on.

    When I go to the gym on my days off, NO.

    Heck no I don't wear makeup to the gym! I don't want to cause my skin to break out! I never had problems with pimples growing up, but every once in awhile now that I am working out I will get one & it sucks! I don't want the make up to clog my pores & cause me to break out even more! I don't care what I look like, I just want people to notice I'm getting smaller & stronger! hehehe! :tongue:

    I dont put makeup on to go to the gym. But I do go to the gym right after work and My work face usually includes Mascara and eyeliner only, and that face goes with me to the gym. So I guess the answer would be , yes, I wear makeup to the gym

    I usually go from work, so I do have make up on, but if I am going to the gym from home no I dont bother. Wearing make up or no make up does not help my weight loss its what I do at the gym :bigsmile:

    I generally workout right after work so yes, I'm in full makeup (lipstick included). If it's a weekend no, if my socks match my outfit I'm lucky :bigsmile:

    No. What for? I'm happily married with children, no one pays attention to me. I don't need to feel put together at the gym. I'm going to run just as hard whether I look cute or not.

    Nope! Going to the gym should be about working hard and sweating your a** off, NOT about trying to impress others. I get so mad when I see girls that come into the gym that seem to be mistaken they're at the club.

    I do on weeknight because I go after work in the evenings and don't bother to take it off. I have been noticing though, that I get the raccoon look during my workout though so I am trying to remember to remove it. On weekends, it depends on what time of day I go. The goal is to go prior to make-up application but that doesn't always happen.

    Since I don't wear make-up the answer is no. I also don't know how anyone can workout with it clogging their pores but to each their own.

    I break out easily so I don't wear makeup to the gym. I go at night so I wash off any face makeup I had on during the day. Eye makeup doesn't really matter - mine doesn't budge unless I really try to get it off.

    I am there to sweat, sweat, sweat. If people aren't impressed by my dedication and my work ethic and are more impressed by the fact that I am wearing makeup then I probably don't need them in my life. I am focused on my health not if someone thinks I look cute. It maybe the Army girl in me (no makeup in boot camp, not even shiny lips) but I have always believed that I am only here to impress myself and better myself.

    This is pretty much why I dislike going to the gym because too many people use it for another stage for them to perform/show off. I have gotten dirty looks because I look like I rolled out of bed, and sometimes I have just rolled out of bed. I don't get it. Isn't that what bars and nightclubs are for? It is just another place for women to judge other women and it irritates me. Because I hate to tell you men DON'T care about your makeup/clothing/hair style. My husband fell in love with me the day I rolled out of bed in his boxers and an over sized sweatshirt with zero makeup and hair in a bun. He always tells me to put LESS makeup on. And those nights that I do I actually get hit on MORE, even with him standing there.

    This is just my opinion so please don't bash me if you are a make up wearer. But women need to be more worried about INTERNAL beauty than what is on the outside. When you are happy and confident and HEALTHY that's REAL BEAUTY. We put too much pressure on ourselves and others to be perfect.

    If I go to the gym at 5 in the morning before work I'm lucky if my hair is brushed, lol! Everyone else at the gym is doing the same thing I am. Working OUT and sweating so I don't care what I look like. If I go after work yes I have make up on and hair done simply because I am coming from work. But other then that I don't care what I look like. :wink:

    No make-up at the gym. Bad for my skin and I am not there to impress anyone, just to workout and get healthy.

    I don't wear make-up normally. I reserve doing it for specific 'nights out' or special events. The amount of chemicals present in most make-up would be classified as toxic anywhere else and the thought of all that garbage running down my face when I'm sweating does not appeal to me at all.
