Wearing makeup while working out: YAY or NAY?

Personally I use makeup everyday since I was 14 years old. I only don't wear if I'm going to the beach, but I'll still wear a lipstick. But if I'm going running with a friend, I'll at least wear foundation and lipstick.
I know it's probably not a very good judgement because when you work out you sweat and because you wear makeup your pores are clogged.
But everyone's opinion is different so do you mind wearing makeup during a physical activity or not?

If I am working out after work or school, I leave it on. If I am just waking up, I don't put anything on. Maybe some chapstick.0

I go right after work so I keep it on.0

I don't purposely wear make up to work out, but If I do it after work or something and I have makeup on whatever.0
-
No make up. I just end up sweaty and gross.0

I've only just started wearing make-up again on a regular basis. In my current job (as a receptionist) I feel like it's almost a requirement, however in my work before that I would always seem to sweat it off.
I don't know if it's just because I'm so not used to wearing make-up but I wash it off immediately after I get home. I don't think I could stand working out in it.0 -
I don't put it on for the purpose of working out, but if it's already on, I just leave it.0

Nay! It runs and you look way worse than you would if you'd just gone natural. Not much uglier than a woman with melty makeup.0

LOL I don't even wear makeup when it's super hot out. Well...ok, I wear my trademark red or hot pink lip, but that's it!0
-
I use makeup remover wipes to get it off if I have to workout right after work.0
-
never, ever. I sweat, and it would be running down my face.0

Honestly, if you feel better about yourself with your make-up on and can manage the sweat coming through it (a good foundation needed for sure!) then why not? I leave mine on because I go after work...0
-
I work out right after work so I usually have some on. But I would never purposely put some on to work out.0

I only wear mascara and eyeliner sometimes anyway, and so the only time I wear this to the gym is if I'm going after work.
But I can't stand the feel of makeup on my face anyway, so I can't imagine having full makeup on while working out. It just seems like 1. totally uncomfortable and 2. a complete waste of time (why bother putting it on when it's just going to get gross in an hour)0 -
I dont, lol0

i rarely wear make-up anytime, so i do not wear it when working out (or at work) i just wear it when going out somewhere. i feel like when i wear it all the time, my skin gets ucky, and most of the time i like the way i look better without make-up0

But by the time I leave I usually have mascara streaked down my face....lol. It is not pretty0 -
If its already on then its on, if it hasn't gone on it isn't going on.0

No way...!!!!0
-
I never wear make-up. I am a lazy hobo. Also, foundation is gross.0
-
