Make up before the gym?
Options
I am about to go the gym for spin, in a dark spin studio, and was putting on make up and thinking about how absurd it was. Not full make up but foundation/powder and blush...I look better but I sweat a ton so it's kind of ridiculous. But I also think there's a lot of cute guys at the gym and I don't want to walk in looking like I just woke up....
Who does this? Admit it if you dare, or feel free to poke fun, I know it's ridiculous :laugh:

I would say no make up….you are going to sweat and you don’t want all that on your face to clog the pours. And you are going to have to wipe your face and a then that will get on the towel.0

I don't usually wear makeup to the gym (unless I had it on for work/school earlier and just didn't take it off) but occasionally if i have a huge zit I'll put some concealer on:laugh:0

I used to when I was younger and I used to put earrings in but then I treated the gym as somewhere to go pull! Now I just hope to get through the session without keeling over I couldn't care what I look like!0
-
I'd say no make up ... but then again, I don't go to a gym to work out, so anyways...0
-
I makeup. But not at the gym. The gym is for hard work and sweating like a pig, not to look pretty.0
-
I'm less self conscious about it, but I still need to be wearing a little...It seems lame but I can't go anywhere without at least a little mascara! lol So I'm right there with ya!0
-
Yeah, some days I'll put on makeup for the gym. If I do, I always use a mattifying base first so it won't go anywhere, even if I sweat a lot... And black eyeliner is something I've learned to avoid if I plan on working out.0

guilty! I do it too...i dont wear foundation but i do put on a little bit of eye liner and mascara. lol It makes me feel better so who cares. :bigsmile:0

Hey, it's about feeling good about YOURSELF! I wouldn't recommend a full face of makeup, but if a little mascara makes you feel better and will help you power through your workout, then go for it!!0
-
Lol I'm afraid I'm like most of the posters here - no make-up for me. Even my outfit isn't especially flattering but functional!0
-
Lip gloss always! I'm obsessed. :-)0
-
I go most days without make up as it is. I generally go to the gym after I wake up in the morning anyway so I don't waste time putting it on, only to workout then shower it off again.0
-
I used to always go in makeup because I hated how I looked and it made me feel comfortable. I am now at peace with myself and will go sans the makeup, but if I'm having a bad skin day, I will put on a light tinted moisturizer.0
-
Ooh no! I wash all my makeup off before going to the gym. I SWEAT, not perspire, or glisten... SWEAT! LOL My makeup actually makes my face hotter and makes me sweat more, so it ends up coming off anyway!0
-
I dont usually put it on when I go to the gym early in the am, but I do feel self conscious without it I admit.0
-
I go to the gym straight from work and I don't remove what makeup is left on my face. By the end of the day most of it has already come off and I don't have problems with my skin. I do put on lip gloss before I go because really who gives a *%^ , right? If I want to look good while I lift heavy things why not, it's my prerogative. It's for me and no one else.0
-
I say no make up. I don't wear any when I workout... Gym or outside. My skin is so great between working out and so much water... Don't want to risk clogging pores and breaking out just have make up on while sweating.0
-
A little bit of concealer, maybe, but a full face of makeup is a no, at least for me. Even if you're looking to meet people, a full face of makeup at the gym kind of shouts "high maintenance." :laugh:0
-
The ONLY time I go without makeup is to the gym. This freckled face Irish girl needs it, but I'm not there to be cute... I'm there to make my daily goal... and at 4:30 in the morning no one is looking at my anyway0

"If you still look cute at the end of your workout...you haven't trained hard enough!"
LOL... I wear eyeliner....and always look like a raccoon when I'm done :laugh:0
