I would honestly just wear waterproof mascara.
there's not really a reason to wear face makeup to me since it'll come off anyways.
when I go running I usually just wear moisturizer waterproof mascara and sometimes eyeliner.
I don't really think people will be paying attention anyways lol.

I agree completely with Alex. I go running and go to the gym, hell I even go to work with no makeup on. There's no point in wearing it, especially if you're working hard it'll all come off anyway:) and you can always put it on after!

Wearing face makeup mixed with sweat/oils is not a good combination haha.

I ran track and cross country in high school. Wore makeup during that time as well...caused me massive amounts of skin grief because of it. When I wised up it was too late because I amassed acne scarring that took forever for me to clear up. Before practice I would remove it and at best just left on my mascara since it was waterproof.

Oh yes!! Concealer under the eyes and while running...your body heat alone combined with the environment will make it melt faster than you can run. I have pictures of me crossing the finish line with melted concealer...its not pretty. :/

From my knowledge, guys think it's weird that a girl exercises with makeup on. I don't have any idea how to keep makeup looking good during exercises.

I never wear makeup when I work out. I feel you on the self conscious thing so I used to all the time but I always felt so disgusting afterwards when I did, I didn't even have time to feel good about my workout because I was so distracted by my face pretty much melting off lol

I'm doing track too. all I recommend wearing is a moisturizer with spf, powder if your face is oily, mascara, and lip balm. you could also bring touch ups for after meets.

I do track too and I never really have time to take off my make up but during practice and meets my make up is never running down. Even my friends tell me that my make up looks the same before and after practice. But if I did have time to take off my make up I would. The make up I'm using is the covergirl ready set gorgeous one and last year when I did track I used the revlon colorstay whipped foundation and that one would stay on perfect even on rainy days.

Bb cream will slide off your face.
I agree with lizeth, for track I usually never had any time to take off my makeup I barely had any time to change into my running clothes.
if you have time TAKE OFF YOUR MAKEUP! I got major pimples with the sweat & foundation combined. looked horrible.
I'm positive no one will pay attention to you running anyways, no need to look cute.
if anything just wear waterproof mascara and moisturizer.

I'd say water proof mascara, and brows depending on if it's dire for you to fill them in or not, if your really self conscious about it maybe a little powder but nothing that will clog your pores!!
