I usually try not to wear any makeup to the gym. Sometimes I can't help but to fill in my brows just a tiny bit. I don't really care who sees me without any makeup on when I am there. I feel so good working out and working on my health. :)

The only time I wear make up to the gym is when I go straight from work. Otherwise, I like to go with a clean face.

Nope I never do. The only thing I have done is curled my lashes, because I was feeling a bit blah that day, but I didn't apply mascara. I see tons of ladies wearing a full face of makeup I don't know how they do it. Also wearing perfume to the gym is a no-no. To all the women and men that do this I know you like your jasmine, rose, and patchouli, and woods perfume/cologne but when combined with the smell of sweat and locker room, it just makes me nauseous. Wash your face, add some moisturizer, some lip balm and deodorant and just go!

I usually just put on foundation, concealer and some blush, just because I look like the walking dead with blotchy skin when I don't have anything to set on my face. :P

Terra- I know one other person who doesn't sweat either and can get away with wearing whatever. You are the lucky one for sure!

they way i work out at the gym is i sweat a lot.. i used to not sweat so much before until i amplified my workout.
i do not intentionally wear makeup (like foundation, blush, eyeliner etc) to the gym because i seriously will break out from all the sweat and makeup will get into my pores etc.
if i absolutely must - i only curl my lashes and put mascara or i'll do my eyebrows because my hair is way to sparse, otherwise - no makeup for me.

I never wear makeup to the gym. I always do heavy cardio at the end of my workout and it would just get really messy. Plus, women are already eye-candy at the gym and I feel I would just draw even more attention to myself.

Neeeeever. I know so many people that laugh at girls who wear makeup to the gym & to be honest, it does look off. lol

Its actually really bad for your skin and will lead to breakouts due to the pores opening and the makeup seeping in. Don't do it!

The thought of someone putting on makeup just to go to the gym just baffles me.

Waterproof mascara, and oil absorbing tissues for afterwards. Lip balm is also good.

I have makeup remover wipes in my gym bag. My skin isn't perfect and I'm paranoid that if I have foundation and stuff on while working out, it will lead to breakouts. I always find it funny when I see girls with a full face of makeup at the gym. Last time I went, I saw a girl with full coverage foundation, black smokey eyes and FALSE EYELASHES. I was stunned. Haha.

When I work out I only wear my eye makeup. I'm afraid that if I wear face makeup, I'll get acne.

I don't wear makeup to the gym, but I only do when I go straight from work... I started a blog on fitness/health if anyone is interested!! Clarasfitnessdiary.blogspot.com! I lost all my pregnancy weight and I'd love to share tips I've learned along the way! :)

Nope nope nope! No makeup to the gym! I have a hard enough time watching my makeup to make sure it's in place just running around all day. I'm not willing to risk wiping off an eyebrow or smearing eyeliner across my nose for the sake of walking in cute.
