    I don't even put on make for work usually, definitely not the gym.

    Never. Got to stop all those gym women hitting on me somehow, right?
    Could always attempt to talk in a high pitched voice, ya? -nodnod- lol

    I just put on lip stain, that's all, I don't think it looks too ridiculous because its a stain and wont smear.

    Plus I would worry that wearing makeup at the gym would cause me to breakout.

    No way! Ain't nobody got time for that. :laugh:

    I wear makeup just about everywhere else, but never to the gym.

    I don't really wear make-up, just a little foundation. Sometimes, when I can be bothered, I put on some mascara for work, so if i go straight to the gym from work, I'd still have that on.

    I put make up on before work and go to the gym after, I don't take it off to work out but certainly wouldn't put some on or top it up just to exercise... Saying that I pity anyone who has to see me completely make up free!

    No. The only time I wear make up to the gym is if I was wearing make up previously...AND if I forget to take it off. :drinker:

    I don't do anything special for the gym except show up to work out. If I already have makeup on from earlier in the day (or being at work) then I leave it. If I haven't put any on then I don't go out of my way to get fixed up for the gym.

    But then again I'm not single so I don't care if I look less than life lovely at the gym. If I were single and hoping to chat someone up then why not polish the look a little?

    I never put make-up on if my sole intention is to go to the gym but I often go after uni so I'll already be wearing a bit of mascara and powder.

    It depends on which of my personalities is going to the gym that day. The *kitten* in me is lazy and won't.

    I have very blonde eyelashes so I always have a bit of mascara on, but it's not like I intentionally put it on to workout

    Honestly I only put lipstick on most times...and its the 12 hour kind that doesn't come off for two days usually...LOL I put it on sometimes before I go to the gym..but usually because I feel weird without it...If I'm having a day where I look ok without lipstick..no lipstick that day :)

    I only wear liner or mascara otherwise..I'm not a big make-up person.

    The last time I wore make up was June 2013. I try to avoid it as I often end up looking like a cheap European hooker when I'm done.

    I've tried to the go to the gym after work with my face beat, but as soon as start to perspire, my eyes tear and my face becomes irritated. Sometimes I don't feel like taking my makeup off but, I just can't workout with it on. My skin suffocates; plus the irritation is uncomfortable and very distracting. Even running outdoors is an issue for me. Sunscreen irriates my skin as soon as I start to perspire, no matter the brand, ugh.

    As much as I love my makeup, I do not put on any to go workout.

    Not unless I put it on in the morning and haven't taken it off yet.
