Makeup in the gym. Where do you stand?
Replies

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! lol0

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?0 -
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 up0

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!0 -

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!!0

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.0 -
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!0

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.0 -
I don't, I like looking like a pasty dead corpse with working out.0
-
Each to their own, that's what I say!0

meh0

Women is OK, but not on the guys :noway:0

Such a none question seeing as it's "something I wanted to address for a while". Do you think anyone actually cares if you wear make up to the gym?0
-
Do what you want. But I don't like burning eyes from make-up soaked sweat.0
-
I don't care if someone does or doesn't wear make-up to the gym.0

Actually some do. I've seen a lot of those "I hate those little gym bunnies wearing make up and skimpy work out clothes and just standing around flirting with the lifting guys" post0 -
lol do whatever u wanna do , i go to gym in slippers sometimes . dont care what ppl think ... im there to TRAIN
pajama pants and sandals here haha
I roll into the gym all the time in flip flops to train barefoot. And I gotta try the bunny slippers, though I may have to get a jet black pair so they're more bad azz0 -
I regularly show up looking like Mimi from the drew carey show. By the end of my workout it brings a whole new meaning to face painting0
-
I barely look at people when I go to the gym. I'm there for solitary refinement, but IMO as long as you don't look like Tammy Faye Baker, more power to you.0
-
I usually don't leave the house without make up, but I don't bother with it when I go to the gym.. I go very early in the morning, then come home and shower.. It would be pointless to put it on just to wash it off an hour and a half later..0
-
I like it when ladies show up to work out looking like drag queens.0
-
i got booted from my last gym for wearing makeup....0

Yeah but would you be concerned enough to want to address it in the forums? Obviously not concerned enough to use the search function :ohwell:0 -
I wear makeup maybe once a month, once every other month. So I don't have any on when I go. If I had makeup on and I was doing an evening workout, I would probably not bother removing it before doing my workout.0
-
I wear guyliner to the gym. It makes me feel more badass.0
-
Never bothered me, go there to work out and sweat. Dont think its a good look for ladies with make up running down their face0
-
I don't apply it just to go to the gym. I don't take it off just to go to the gym. Some days, I rock a full face of make-up that I sweat off that gets all over my sweat towel....gets kinda streaky, but who cares.
Having said that, there are people who go to the gym fully kitted out who don't work out, they just follow around their guy (or like what happened to my husband not so long ago, follow a strange guy they don't even know). Those girls bug me. Especially when there's body glitter on their shoulders.
*off to find rocket powered bunny slippers because those really do sound awesome*0 -
People will hate you for wearing make up.
People will hate you for not bothering.
People will hate you for training.
People will hate you for not training.
Long and short? Do what you see fit. Life is too short to worry about what others think with such a minor thing, such as make up.
I think this pretty much sums up most of the squabbles that go on in life and on these forums. As is said above, stop worrying about what other people think.0
