How do I prevent getting my makeup all messed up after gym? I have gym 3rd period out of 7 periods and since I use eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows, it all wears out by the end of gym and when I change back into my clothes, I have to literally rush and do my makeup (making it look terrible!) because we have like 7 minutes to change back into our school clothes and it takes me 3 minutes, leaving me 4 minutes to fix my mascara and eyebrows and such. How do I prevent this and make my makeup stay because I don't have a lot of time to fix it after gym. And also I straighten my hair in the morning before school and then after gym its all messed up because it's so hot outside and I HAVE to tie it and obviously I can't bring a straight iron to school..

I don't think you can really stop it. I'd just go for waterproof products. Try a brow gel or the brow pomade instead of eyeshadow and a waterproof eyeliner. As for hair I would just carry a mini hairspray and brush in your bag or keep it in your locker

I had the same problem when I had to take gym, it sounds horrible but the best thing I found to do was to not do a lot of work, I did what we had to but I didn't put any effort into it, I saved intense workouts for the gym after school or at my house. Of course, you could look into a setting spray, I've heard loads of good things about the UD All Nighter setting spray

Foundations — Use a foundation that promises long-wearing benefits. Cream and Powder foundations lasts the longest on me. Try to steer clear from dewy/luminous foundations, and try satin and matte finish foundations.
Eyeshadow: Try using a primer and/or a base (e.g. MAC Paint Pots). If you're in a budget, use a concealer instead. Concealer is somewhat a primer and a base. :)
Eyeliner — Go for a water-proof and sweat-proof formula. Buying anything water-proof is good for this type of situation.
Lips — Try a lip stain or a liquid lipstick.
Mascara — Water-proof all the way.
PRIMERS PRIMERS PRIMERS — Please choose a primer that will work with your foundation! If your foundation is water-based, choose a water-based primer. If you use an oil-based primer on a water-based foundation, it will clash. Oil and water do not mix. If your primer is silicone-based, use a silicone-based foundation.
How to know if your foundation/primer is water-based?
Read the ingredients. If water if one of the first ingredients, then it is water-based.
*POREfessional by Benefit is oil-based.
Eyebrows — Eyebrows are tricky. Try buying an eyebrow pencil, they last longer. But here's how you know that it will last. The less emollient the product is, the longer it will last.
TIPS & TRICKS
— Always set your foundation, if it's a liquid or cream formulation.
— Trust me with this one, I might sound mental but I use this method everyday:
Firstly apply moisturizer and/or your face primer of choice. Secondly, apply a LOOSE powder and LIGHTLY powder the face. This will make the foundation stick. If you use a loose powder with color (e.g. bareMinerals Original) you will get more coverage. You can use a loose translucent powder if you like. Then apply your foundation. You will notice that you will need less. If you have oily skin, you can apply the same loose powder on the areas where you need it. If your skin is dry, you might not need to powder at all. It also makes the foundation to set more quickly.
— Water-proof everything.
— Being realistic here, it will budge and you will have to touch-up. I recommend buying a concealer that is easy to use and carry around. Crayon concealers are nice, e.g. L'Oreal True Match Crayon Concealer.
Hope this helps!

I agree with Riff, try a setting spray! You can even spray a little on a spoolie or even a q tip, and apply it directly to your brows and other areas that melt off by the end of gym.

I agree with the others, try to water proof everything. However, I wouldn't put a cream product over powder, because it can lead to the "cakey" look.

What I do is I like to use waterproof makeup and try and use a face spray it will water proof and set your makeup.
