Wearing makeup to the gym

I see a lot of ladies at the gym I go to now wear a full face of makeup just to work out. I can't understand why someone would put an entire face of makeup on unless they weren't going to work hard enough to sweat it off.

Don't get me wrong, I don't always go completely bare faced. I am very fair with blonde eyebrows, so I do pencil them in just a bit so I don't look albino... but aside from that why would anyone bother? Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me.

    I will usually head to the gym after work and still have my makeup on. I don't get ready for the gym though, that's a whole different story.

    If I have make up on before I go to the gym or work out then I don't bother taking it off first. I don't put it on just to go to the gym though.

    I work out at lunch or after work. I'm not going to take my makeup off before I go. *shrugs*

    I don't even go to the gym but if I did, you better believe I'd be wearing makeup. I do not leave my house without makeup. It is just as much a part of "getting ready" for me as wearing pants or bringing along my keys.

    <<shrugs>>

    I don't look horrible without it, and some of my friends/family even say things like "You are so lucky you don't have to wear makeup" (while I'm in foundation, powder, eye shadow, lipstick, mascara & eyeliner). But I have been wearing it daily since I was 8, it's just part of me! haha

    We have a few ladies at my gym that have on a lot of makeup, and they are just the kind of people that wont go anywhere without full on make up.
    But I think most of the time, its just girls going right after work or on their lunch break.

    I don't wear makeup to the gym because it is bad for your pores. But that is all I will say on this subject. The last time we had a thread like this, it just turned into a bunch of women snipping at each other for no apparent reason and taking things personally.

    I wonder if anyone has asked this question before.

    In that case, some women just don't feel confident without their makeup on. Sad but true. Me, well, if you're checking me out while I'm getting all sweaty and not made up, you get what you deserve. :tongue:

    Maybe they go to the gym straight after work and already have the makeup on....
    Maybe they are hoping to pick up a guy at the gym and are wearing water proof makeup....
    If it doesn't hinder your workout, I wouldn't worry about it.
