Somewhat off-topic, but Tomato, you mustn't diss the classic Maybelline Great Lash in the pink tube. Seriously, do you know how many professional makeup artists include that very tube in their arsenal of stuff? That is one of the finest, time-tested mascaras ever made. When I lived near Industria Superstudio (on Washington Street in the West Village) the assistants were always running to the drugstore to get tubes of this for the photo shoots.
Oh, sorry, I did not mean to diss at all, that was not my intent. I suppose I should have said 'inexpensive' instead of 'cheapo'. l love the Maybelline mascara and I have used it for over a decade, and I am not planning to switch to a different brand. I am very happy with the fact it is available in non-waterproof "flavour" and at one point, it came in a very dark, eggplant-y colour that was called "Verry Berry" (or something like that). Unfortunately, that colour was discontinued quickly but it was the perfect match for my fair skin. And of course I am happy with its low price because I think no mascara needs to cost $18 or more.
And yes, I am aware that this it the weapon of choice of many professional make-up artists.
I think it is funny when women have their hair all curled and it is down when they are at the gym.
I look like h3ll at the gym!!! I have showered before going because I was just that dirty, and once I went after a long night at the bar, but most of the time, no make up! I will even wash my foundation off. Mascara can stay, but don't want to clog my pores. As someone else put, I am not here for a husband and if a guy can ask me out looking that rough, he will appreciate me when I do "clean up."
I am normally dripping in sweat and bright red when I leave anyways, make up won't help at that point lol
I have dark circles that make me look like a zombie so I use concealer and mascara before the gym. Wouldn't want to scare anybody! Really though, I just feel more comfortable when I look awake.
I usually try to go to the gym first thing in the morning. To accomplish that, I sleep in my workout clothes and roll right out of bed! :-) If I work out after work, I don't make the effort to remove my make up.
Basically, I don't put any on just to go but to each their own.
I don't go to the gym, but I can relate to making sure my face looks decent before heading off on a run around town. I live in a rice paddy and the only people who ever see me out are little old people who probably fought in WWII, but I still feel a little weird going anywhere outside the house without my safety buffer of black eyeliner.
Hello all friends how are you?
Well in my point of view if you are going to the gym then put a little meek up like blush on or eye liner sort of thing,It looks cool when you are doing your exercise..
Nope, no make-up at all here. My dermatologist told me it's bad for the skin (break out wise) to sweat (okay, not the act of sweating, but the act of letting sweat stay on your face too long creating food for the bacteria), but make-up on top makes it a lot worse -- and I am 40 and prone to acne, so heck no. I have no qualms about it at all, I'm not there to look pretty or whatever, and I think it would make me MORE self conscious to worry about getting more acne, having my make-up melt & run and being laughed at (I hear people doing that pretty regularly - other women AND men). I work out at a huge YMCA - so lots of men and women.
I don't, but I don't wear any makeup to work either. I work for a veterinarian, and give a lot of dog baths. By the time, I been licked, water shook on, flying slobber, etc., it's a losing battle to wear make up. I save that for the weekends.
I'm in the group who, if I have it on because I was wearing it earlier in the day, then yes I wear make up to the gym, but I've never intentionally put it on to go work out. I only wear make up about once a week when I go out at night anyway, so it's a rare occurence. I've been using Bare Minerals for about 6 years, I can't stand regular foundation and the thought of sweating with it on just grosses me out. The Bare Minerals doesn't clog my pores or get cakey if I sweat though.
I was wearing makeup for a while because I have been self conscious about bags under my eyes and the amount of attention my weightloss has been garnering. Then I noticed that I sweat so much it wasn't staying on very long so I quit. Also, noone said I looked better b/c of the makeup. All the compliments are still about the weightloss.
