    My complaint is women wearing perfume, or after/shave cologne for men. They get on the cardio machine next to me and I'm huffing and puffing and now I'm overcome by the fumes. Have to say it is the women mostly. Isn't it common sense not to take a bath in the stuff? You are going to the gym to get all hot and sweaty.

    Mascara only, because it helps shield eyes from sun and bright light.

    Depends what time of day I am there

    First thing in the Morning - No Make-up
    If I go over my lunch, then yes. only because I had make-up on since I was at work....

    I am not there to impress people :P

    I wear makeup and cute clothes to the gym because when I feel sexy, I work out harder. I don't like going out in public feeling "frumpy", and that includes the gym.

    If this bothers people, then they clearly aren't working hard enough.

    ^^^ditto. I am happier in general when I feel "put together"; at the gym, grocery store, work...anywhere.

    You never know where you might meet the president. :)

    Watch out for Bill!!

    If you see me wearing full make up you can bet:

    - I'm going to a wedding
    - I'm going to a funeral
    - I have a business conference (rare, and I work from home)

    Girls who get all made up like they are going out, aren't at the gym to work out, their going there to be seen. Which, I don't mind, but don't admire either

    I wear whatever makeup I was wearing at work, and I don't expect someone to be judging me for it either.

    NEVER! I think it would be gross to see foundation or mascara running down my face mixed with sweat, it would ruin my towels and probably my skin too. I have better skin since I work out anyway and I only wear make up ocassionally anyway. It would feel pointless, like putting make up on to go to sleep or to clean a bbq lol.

    I use a little concealer and some mascara to curl my eyelashes. Nothing too crazy :)

    If I'm already wearing it from earlier in the day then yes...if it's first thing in the morning it's just concealer and go.

    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.

    Amen sister! I agree 100%! Well said :happy:

    Hell no! It'd sweat off in a second, lol.

    Also, it's just not something I've ever thought about. You wear make up to work or to go out, but it just doesn't seem natural to wear it to the gym. (If you wear make up to the gym, I promise I don't judge you. I probably don't even notice you because I'm working out). I'd be afraid that the make up and sweat would cause pimples.

    I wear makeup when I work out and I wear it to the barn. Sue me. If someone doesn't like the fact you are wearing makeup (or the fact that you aren't) they are not worth your time.

    It's not my place to judge. I've seen several ladies who are wearing cute clothes and full makeup and they are killing it in the gym. I dare anyone to say they are only there for the show....well maybe the "gun" show....

    No! I will happily go in wearing the remnants of my day make-up but I don't put anymore on. Mascara doesn't look quite so sexy after a 45 minute spin class....

    I do, but not on purpose. I workout on my lunch break at a gym around the corner from work. I normally wouldn't, though. I do like to wear cute workout clothes, definitely helps me feel better. I don't really care if others do though. To be honest I don't even pay attention. As long as you're there to actually work, WHO CARES! I get more irritated with the people that show up (male or female) and goof off or get in the way of others....whether they're wearing makeup or not!

    Wow, I truly feel sorry to those of you who feel the need to wear makeup at the gym. Kinda sad.

    Depends on when I go. If it's already on, it's on. If it's first thing of the day, then no. I also don't spend my time looking at anyone else's face to see if they wear make up. It's irrelevant to my workout. ;)

    I don't but I like to wear cute clothes! I just hate having to take off makeup when I get home. If I'm doing something social I might take my makeup bag for putting some on after the gym.
