So I'm curious, do you wear makeup at the gym? I personally don't, but I kinda feel like it's one of those topics that people are on both sides about and I'm super curious. To be honest, I couldn't ever wear makeup at the gym because basically it would sweat off my face and I feel like it would clog my pores, and make me feel rather dirty. What about you guys?

Usually I do, but its mainly because I go to the gym later versus in the morning so I already have makeup on. I do feel groas after, yes, but I usually just give my face a good scrub and I'm good. I don't mind girls who wear makeup to the gym either. If thats there thing to look good while working out than more power to them. I just get annoyed at girls who pile on makeup and walk on a treadmill for two minutes and call it a day.

No and I don't really understand why girls do? Its sooo bad to sweat and have makeup running into your pores. I guess if you have really bad acne and you are self conscious about your skin, concealer or bb cream is acceptable.

I don't go to the gym but when I was younger and foolish I would because the idea of anyone seeing my bare face was terrifying, but now that I'm older and slightly wiser I wouldn't bother, maybe at most waterproof mascara. I can't speak for everyone but I think girls wear it to the gym because of low self-esteem, I certainly did anyway.

I don't wear it at the gym, but if I've come straight from gym I tried atleast take off my mascara.

I usually do because I go to the gym late evenings and I don't feel like taking it off before. I think its fine to wear makeup especially when someone has bad acne like me..I can't go anywhere without bb cream and concealer.

I've never seen someone with a full face of makeup working out but just foundation, like they took off their eye makeup and lips, yes. I don't think I ever will though because I take makeup wipes with me everywhere so it easy for me to take it off.

After class I'll go and I have a full face on but immediately wash my face afterwards. Otherwise I just do my eyebrows because mine are so blonde it looks like I don't have any haha.

I go to the gym quite a lot and can honestly say that when I see girls with makeup on at the gym it makes me cringe.. it looks like they are there to swan around and show off.. not work out.

I do, but only a light bareminerals powder cover and mascara. Nothing heavy like liquid or eyeliner, thats a little much. And I always wash my fave asap when I'm done :)
