    I do not wear makeup at the gym and most of the women who seem to be there at the same time do not either. But there is one woman in the morning who wears full makeup, the cutest workout outfits, and neatest 2 long blonde braids laying just right - so you can see her diamond earrings..

    It must take her at least an hour to get done up that way before the gym and I get there at 6AM. She lifts heavy weights then cardio for 20 minutes and just rocks. We all find ourselves watching her because it's very inspirational.

    I'm too busy minding my own business and getting my workout on to notice what others are doing.

    I work out after work... I almost always have full makeup. And it stays completely put because Urban Decay is awesome.

    I *have* seen the makeup girls before working out though. They are gym flies.... taking selfies and the whole nine yards, tittering after the boys. Not my style, except that they get in my way. >.<

    IDGAF what you wear on your face, just PLEASE wear drawers.
    LOL now THAT I do NOT do...yoga pants and a t shirt.

    She must have really great stay-put makeup, I'd be afraid I would look like the Joker after an intense workout.

    THIS.

    I'd assume she came from a work break or after work or already had it on.

    lol.. People who go to the gym to look and feel better should never question what someone else at the gym is doing that may them look or feel better..

    Hypocrisy much.

    Why does anyone CARE what makeup others wear or do not wear to the gym?

    Agreed! They're not hurting anyone. Just don't look.

    I wear make- up every single day, and I work out in the evening so I'm in full makeup and hair at the gym.
    My makeup is all mineral with great staying power so it doesn't affect my skin or my workout. Personally I could t give a damn what you're wearing in the gym. I have more respect for the girl with the drawn on eyebrows working her *kitten* off than a non made-up girl giving it 50% effort.

    Lets all stop being special snowflakes and judge people based on what they do, not how they look. B!tching about them makes you a lot more superficial than Miss Bootyshorts and Eyeliner.

    I rarely wear makeup, and when I do, its only clear mascara. So I don't really worry about it.


    Don't wear makeup when you workout then, xD Simple.

    If you want to wear make-up, if you don't, or if you forgot about it - it's all okay. Just don't shame people for their choice.

    Well as a makeup artist, I have to wear a full face of makeup including lashes EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. So if I want to work out I'm not going to wash my face off just because I'm afraid of sweat. Makeup should never be an excuse not to workout . It's funny you brought this up because when I went to the gym after school today people were looking at me crazy but it's a good thing I don't care about anyone's negative opinions. And btw, makeup is not that bad at the gym as long as you have a proper cleansing and exfoliation routine.

    Well if she doesn't end up looking like a mess afterwards I guess it's fine. I personally wouldn't do it though. :happy: :smokin:

    I've said it before and I'll say it again some of us go to the gym AFTER work, so we have our hair done, and makeup on. Don't judge us :sad:

    You've been on MFP long enough to know that, apparently, a lot of people do.

    Yes! I agree with this.

    To me, as the saying goes, "To each their own". If you don't like to wear make-up, that's your preference. Maybe some people don't like going out without it, because they are used to it. I never leave without some make-up on, even if it's just mascara, or simple eyeliner with it & lip gloss.. I definitely wouldn't put face powder on if I'm going to sweat, but I have natural red hair, so I have really light eyelashes. Therefore, I wear mascara to enhance my eyes & I fill my eyebrows in.. I've never had make-up running down my face from working out, lol, so I don't see the big deal.

    I think you are fairly new here? I wasn't offended, but a lot of us on here are a bit defensive when it seems that people are being judged when going to the gym. This is in large part due to the fact that we see many people posting about fears about being judged when going to the gym, and therefor avoid it. I, for one, am of the opinion that generally any time someone works out, it's a good thing. In makeup, in sparkly spandex, or in street clothes, it's all good. Yes, even prancercize lady. She is, afterall, moving her hiney :flowerforyou:
