    I would wear makeup at the gym but I sweat too much and it would just run all over my face, but I do wear it normally :)

    I dont see why people have a problem with it, If it makes a gal feel more confident than so be it, I have hair product on at the gym, not because it makes me look good or anything, just because I feel better having it on, its exacly the same scenerio, I bet a lot of guys have hair product on at the gym and we dont get roasted for it...

    Have no problem with ladies wearing/or not wearing make up in the gym, all I get wound up with is the ones that go there just to pose and have no intention of actually doing anything beneficial to break a sweat. They come in pristine, walk on a treadmill or cross trainer so slow that it has no effect and leave in exactly the same state.

    Everyone should be free to look how they want to (within reason!) as long as they actually make use of the gym for the cost you are paying for it, which am pretty sure any gym goers here on mfp do. Otherwise its just blocking a machine someone else could be using.

    I don't, because I sweat like a beast, and it would just run everywhere! I know people get uptight about it on here, but I'm not bothered. When I'm at the gym I'm not looking at other people, I'm focusing on pushing myself. (I have found that I push myself harder when I can see the free weight section though... everyone is entitled to check out the men lifting I think, keeps me motivated :wink: )

    I wear makeup to the gym because I wear it everywhere, I know for sure I wouldn't work as hard as I do in the Gym without it! lol

    I never take my make-up off before going to the gym as I'm usually there straight after work and rushing to beat traffic etc to get to a spin class on time. I only wear eye make up and that pretty much stays put no matter how horrendously sweaty I get. I might re-think if I ever wore pressed powder or something like that.

    I don't put make up on if I'm going to the gym first thing in the morning before work but wouldn't judge anyone that does. No harm in wanting to look good, after all isn't that why most of us go to the gym?

    I dont for the simple fact that I workout at home and usually only wear make up when leaving the house. The only reason I can see for being against it is sweating it off or if it causes you to break out....other than that....do what you want. If you're working hard at the gym others will see that and not your make up ;)

    Generally I think Most people wouldn't even be able to tell you what you were wearing. Think do you watch other people or are you in the zone trying to push for that little extra effort.
    I think in the last two years that i have been going to the gym the one day I noticed a girl wearing eye makeup i was more impressed because just coming out of a high intensity class i was amazed she didn't look like Panda!

    mascara ALWAYS, blush/bronzer usually (without it I look like walking death), full face if I'm coming from somewhere (or going to somewhere--less preferable, obviously) that I need to look more put-together. as long as it's not running down anyone's face, I say do what makes you feel good, expresses your personality & gives you confidence!!

    For me, no. But I very rarely wear makeup to begin with.

    I don't think women NEED makeup the way some do, in order to look pretty. But if it makes them feel more confident, have at it.
    It really doesn't affect me.

    I go to the gym in make up and not in make up. If I go to the gym at the end of the day (after I've been out or to work) then I'll have make up still on from that. I just leave it on - I wouldn't go to the trouble of taking it off and I like having my eye make up on - I think it opens up my eyes more. I'm not trying to attract anyone at the gym but its good to feel good about yourself! If I'm going to the gym first thing in the morning then I wouldn't bother putting make up specifically to go there. So really it depends on what else has gone on in my day!

    Wait, this is something people care about?

    I wear makeup every day. I do my workouts at home, but if I went to the gym I can't imagine I'd stop to take off my makeup before I went.
