Do you remove your makeup before you work out?
I usually don't then when I wipe my face, I end up with foundation all over my towel, LoL.

Nope. I've also had the issue of makeup on the towel though!0

Id worry about acne and my face getting clogged. I wear self tanner (spray tan!) and skip foundation it evens everything out and I dont have to do foundation in the morning. I only have to do my eyes that way. Try Loreal's gelle tanner. Even a very small amount can really help! I mix mine with lotion and I dont need foundation for a week perhaps0

It always drove me crazy working out with makeup on. I swear I could feel it, plus any eye-liner would run into my eyes with sweat and just burned. But if it doesn't bother you, you should be fine0

I sweat a lot when I exercise so I don't wear makeup to the gym0

I can't imagine it's very good for your skin, but if you don't break out then I guess it's ok (?). I use makeup remover wipes like the Yes to Cucumbers or the Neutrogena ones to remove my makeup before a workout. I still get the occasional breakout, so I try to prevent any way I can.0

I've only ever went to the gym with makeup once. As soon as I started sweating, my eyeliner ran all into my eyes and it burned so bad I had to stop and run to the bathroom to rinse it out.
Never did that again.0 -
i workout straight from work with a full face of make up and dont find it an issue i just dab my face where sweaty and find it doesnt really wear off weirdly or unevenly, but then again i have a black towel so it doesnt matter about foundation staining it lol0
-
I go after work, so no I dont remove it, i could care less, and i dont have the pouring sweat on my face problem. I go home and shower all of it off with the sweat and be done at one time, it dosent bother me.0

Its a gym not a beauty pageant0

I always do. then i use cetaphil cleanser before and after my workout. my skin is acne-prone so i try to do everything in my power to keep it looking normal.0

I don't think this post is about whether you should wear makeup to the gym, cos that's a bit silly (imo) and it will just come off anyway because you're sweating.
Post is more for people who go to the gym after work or after having put on their make up for the day.
I do not take off my makeup if i happen to be wearing before i go to the gym. Though I do not wear much of it.0 -
I always have makeup on,except during the one week a month i dont wear it to let my skin breathe and to moisterise it and all that good stuff,i do it every night. but, you know i feel like i need that week without it..
I go to cosmotology school,so basically if i dont do my hair and makeup before school,i can promise you it gets done when i get there for "practice" (except for my makeup rest week)So,if im at the gym after school,then yes i have makeup on and my hair done,but it doesnt bother me at all while im working out at all.0 -
Wear a headband or bandanas. That should keep most of the sweat out of your face (esp the eyes). I am lucky enough to do my workouts in the morning so I am not wearing makeup. Even if, i still wear a bandana cause I sweat a lot.0
-
I only wear waterproof mascara in the week - so no, never an issue for me. I would rinse it off as much as possible if I did.0
-
I don't usually wear make-up either. I just wear a lightly tinted lip balm. But, if I did wear make-up I wouldn't wear it at the gym if I could avoid it because I wouldn't want to get blemishes (but if that's not a problem for you then it's no big deal probably).0

When I had on makeup and was going to workout unexpectedly, I didn't mind it; didn't remove it. Although when I did go to the gym regarly with a family member (I now workout at home, less money and just as effective) I never really cared to even put any makeup on. Who cares? You're going there to get a workout and get all sweaty, not to be pretty and perfect. lol0
-
If I'm wearing makeup and end up at the gym, I really don't see any point in washing it off since I shower after I work out anyway. So I'd just end up washing my face twice. My skin is not prone to breakouts though. I don't put on makeup just to go to the gym though.0
-
I don't remove it, just because I'll be jumping in the shower right after anyways, but I'm not one of those girls who puts it on before I go!
That *kitten* cray.0 -
Working out with make up causes eye infection (mascara) and pimples (foundation) on me. It's not healthy at all.0
-
I try to just wear moisturiser when I go to the gym. I put loads of make up on after my shower though!
I saw a woman yesterday in the changing room putting her hair in an elaborate updo complete with loads of hairspray BEFORE working out......0 -

Like the other women have said we often work out after work or we could have been out. Just because a woman wears make up at the gym doesn't mean it is for anyone elses benefit.0 -
If I have it I don't take it off, if I don't have it I don't put it on. I'll go to shower afterwards, and my skin get really easily dry, so washing twice is no good. But if my exercise is swimming, then I'll take it off - I don't want to mess the pool.0

I usually go to the gym after work, and I do wear a "full face of makeup" to work... Generally, I use a face wipe to take off all of the face makeup but I do leave my eye makeup - and eyebrows - in place. I sweat a lot, but the makeup I wear is very water resistant so I haven't had any problems with the liner running in my eyes. The eyebrow pencil staying in place is a vanity/insecurity (one coin, two sides?) thing... my eyebrows are blonde/clear and I feel weird without them, so I leave them on when I go to the gym, though they sometimes end up halfway faded by the end of the workout. But... by then I don't care too much about it :-)0

Nope. But I wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner and no foundation...it doesn't tend to be a problem.
I usually head straight to the gym from work, otherwise I'm bare-faced.0 -
No. I break out either way. lol0
-
If I'm going to workout at night I wear a beauty balm instead of foundation. It covers well and I don't break out at all from it. As for eye makeup I usually just keep it on and I don't have problems with it running or anything. I don't wear eyeliner though so that might be why.0
-
Take a few seconds and wash your face people!! coming from work is not an excuse, you can bring wipes, or use the gyms bathroom, soap and water. I can just picture the nasty sweaty foundation just caking and clogging pores. Eww.0
-
I wear water-proof mascara to hide my very blonde eyelashes, but that's it. I'm vain....what can I say.0

What kind of balm do you use? I use Dr. Feelgood's mattifying balm and I love it!0
