Curious to see how many people do :wink:

Personally Ive always dreaded putting make up on and turns out I had an allergic reaction to my foundation :ohwell:

    I don't wear a lot, but usually a little tinted lip balm and eye liner.

    No think it looks worse when you've got lots of sweaty makeup on.

    No, I barely wear any anyway and I definitely wouldn't want it sliding off my face when I get sweaty.

    No, thank God, I'd probably get arrested!

    Nope, just the thought of my eyes burning from mascara or eye liner is to distracting.

    I go to the Gym after work, so I usually already have make up on.

    I don't even brush my hair, let alone try to look pretty.

    If it's already on when I work out at the end of the day, I just leave it and sweat it all over hell. If it's not already on why would I do that?

    I don't myself but if it takes some makeup to help someone get the confidence to go to the gym, then I'm not going to judge. Whatever you're comfortable with. I know there are people who have skin issues who don't like to be in public without it.

    I have been having some problems with my face where some spots are really red (and its gotten worse with pregnancy). I am pretty self conscious about it, so yes, I do put my powder foundation on before I go to the gym to even it out. I never used to wear makeup to the gym but this is an exception for me.
    Sometimes I go to the gym at lunch and don't take my makeup off before working out. Even though I sweat a lot it doesn't run ( I have switched to a waterproof mascara for this though).

    It has literally never even crossed my mind that the gym is a place I should be wearing makeup - so, no.

    Hell yeah, and none of that waterproof stuff! Got to look like I've been out clubbing the night before!

    If I go after work I already have waterproof eyeliner and mascara on... During the weekend... No, why bother? The thing that drives me crazy is when people are wearing a ton of perfume or cologne!!!!

    Agreed! Makeup always makes me feel better, so no judgment here. (I, however, don't wear makeup to the gym unless I already have it on for work or something. Then it's always gone by the end of my workout!)

    being in the beauty industry, I wear a lip gloss and a little mascara. No matter what, you never know when you might get a new client, or see an existing one. ;)

    Makeup is not all about "complexion"...

    Ok. Well Ill say I do not need to because I think I look good without it. Is that better and sufficient for you?

    No then again I only really ever wear mascara on a day to day basis. I wouldn't want to be covered in makeup and sweating.
    Do I care if other women wear makeup to the gym? No because I'm focusing on my own workout and couldn't care less what other people do :smile:
