Hey guys, so I'm a pretty athletic person, I run. A lot. And usually in the mornings I use a light cc cream (got some weird stuff going on) and some mascara. That's all peachy and great until I begin running. The makeup just melts off my face, as lovely as that sounds. I don't want to use a makeup remover beforehand, sometimes I don't have time, otherwise they are expensive, I don't want to waste them. Any ideas or brands of makeup or powder that are sweat proof?? I'll run into the same problem again during cross country and track..not that it's such a horrific problem to have. Anyway, any makeup routines/brands that are sportproof??
Thanks a bunch xx

Well it's working out so...when I have track and cheer practice I never wear makeup. I only wear makeup for cheer but...IDK. Do you really need makeup for running?

I do crosscountry and track and the only thing I wear is mascara. I run everyday. I don't think any makeup is needed your working out lol. Plus I don't think its necessary.

I just got the L'Oreal double extension beauty tubes mascara. The one in the red packaging (they have about a million different versions). It's amazing because its actually not waterproof... It's kind of the opposite which sounds like just a regular mascara, but its not. The only thing that will get it off is water. I can wipe over my eye with a wipe or makeup remover 10 times and it still won't come off unless I hold a damp cotton pad over it for a few seconds. I much prefer it to waterproof, because waterproof is so hard to get off and you just end up wrecking your eyelashes. This comes off really easily with water, but won't come off for love nor money without pure water! Because its a 'tubing' mascara the tubes come off and look like all your eyelashes have fallen out but once you've managed to reassure yourself it's just the mascara it's great haha. For foundation I'd go for Revlon Colorstay. Maybe just put liner on your upper lash line so that it can't really run anywhere and just use a medium crease colour to define your eyes rather than using shadows right close to your eyes where they're more likely to run. Hope that makes sense lol

Just wear mascara then after running put the rest of your makeup on! It's not good to have makeup and sweat:0

It might be skin/sweat type but when I do wear makeup during cross country I wear neutrogena foundation

I hike and do Yoga so I keep those times light with just a thin layer of SPF infused BB cream...single cost of mascara and a tinted lip balm, like Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable.

Concealer and powder is better, its light on the skin and you can easily reapply powder if you find its come off.

I agree with rozberry j, I'm a dancer and usuallyaa coat is bb cream, powder and mascara is all I need when training.
