Makeup during general workout or dance workout

Lifestyle Health & Fitness

I come from work and go straight to the gym since work and gym are close to each other. Of course makeup is necessary for my line of work. Plus, I want to feel more confident and better about myself. Dance makes me feel good and not full on makeup but just so i’m not completely bare faced during my group dance workout.

I heard a girl blab about how some girls wear makeup while working out and how she just can’t believe it and yaak yaak yaak gossip gossip gossip.

I know when we workout the pores need to be open and not clogged with foundation and junk but really only the perfectly clear complexioned girls can achieve the no makeup look with no eye makeup nothing at all look.

Am I the only one?

This is the only place where I break my 'no-makeup' rule. I need to think about my skin's health FIRST.

If you worried that much about your complexion, try applying masks/toners to clean it up.

Unless you are performing on the stage then I would suggest wear something lighter like a bb/cc cream but not foundation

I Don't wear foundation but eye makeup and lip color is what I have on since I come from work during my dance workout

No, you’re not the only one.. I don’t go completely bare-faced either.. I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business if I choose to wear a bit of makeup or not..

Let her carry on b*tching.. just ignore :snooty:

Don't worry about what others say do what you need to do. If you're not wearing foundation then you're not blocking the pores.

hmmm i would think there's a diff btwn putting on makeup right before going to the gym, and already having makeup on for a previous event (work, school etc)...wouldn't it have faded after some point?

No mine does not fade especially if it's eyeliner and lip color. I like wearing makeup

Good to know that i'm not the only one that wears makeup during a workout. Isn't that what working out is half about, feeling good about ourselves and our bodies.

Not into dancing. I will go out for a jog and I don't even care that much about how my hair looks ( usually a messy bun ) much less my face. If I were going to take a take a dance or Zumba class where I'm going to get sweaty...I'd skip the make up. If it were a yoga class..maybe I'd apply makeup if i feel up to it....and even then it would be light.

If you know fully well that you cannot and will not attend your work-outs sans makeup, then why worry so much about what that one girl thinks?

How about mineral makeup? You can wear that or cc cream.

Wear a bright red lipstick instead. It will greatly help the attention move away from your 'no foundation' face.

I don't wear ANY make-up when I go to gym. I do heavy cardio and weights and get sweaty. I can't imagine wearing ANY make-up while being sweaty like that. Even eye makeup.....just the idea makes me go "YUK". I do see other women wearing makeup....and it's not something I can relate to.

That being said....do what makes YOU happy. If you're 100% comfortable wearing makeup at the gym.....then don't pay attention to what anyone else thinks.
