When you go to the gym

[rosiedozie]

Heck no.

[balletofangels]

Nope. Just whatever is lingering.

[demelza]

I like to workout at the end of the day. I don't wash makeup off to work out, so yes I have makeup on.

[noodleskooze]

Mascara maybe, because I rarely go out without it.

Keep in mind I haven't been to a gym in years. I'm channeling my alter-ego--the mom that has it together.

There are some women who come in false eyelashes, so I'm not sure if it's full makeup or just the eyelashes. Does that count? LOL

And I barely can get myself to wear makeup when I'm not working out, so no makeup for me at the gym. Also I sweat like a crazy beast.

[daisybuchannan]

When I was working, I'd go directly after, so whatever I still had on.

If I'm teaching at they gym in the am, I'll still put on a little powder, mascara, and eyebrow gel stuff bc apparently I am now unable to go out without makeup and not worry people (are you feeling ok? you look like you're tired, etc). I wouldn't ever bother to do eyeshadow or that kind of thing.

[stephm0188]

The best part of being a SAHM is not putting on makeup.

[notoriousmeg]

No, but I also go before work, so before I have put any makeup on for the day. Even if I went later I think I would take it off. I would be afraid the mixture with sweat would cause breakouts.

[Deleted]

nope. I wash my face before and after the gym. Im not risking a breakout for looks at the gym

[koopa17]

Only what's left over from earlier in the day.

You know what bothers me more, is nice looking hair. Mine looks absolutely ridiculous in a mini pony tail (i have a short bob) and it's all sweaty, and I see girls walking around with perfectly curled hair that doesn't look messed up at all. Blasphemous.

I sweat a lot too, does the makeup not run all over? How does that even work?

Lol. Can you tell I don't even own makeup?

There's a woman who I see most days, in false eyelashes and what looks like a lot of makeup, and on Wednesdays she comes into the locker room to change her clothes between classes- she puts on a frilly bikini for hot yoga.  LOL!  There seems to be some weird fashion competition among the Korean women at my gym.

[leahmel]

I have the remnants of my makeup from the day if I go at night, otherwise no.

I know there are always "those" women who try way too hard, wear fresh makeup and barely break a sweat. I've seen them at every gym I've been to!

[zoidberg]

NO. I don't even wear a full face of makeup for work. Fancy occasions only.

[emsumm]

No. If I did I'd wash it off (but I only wear makeup when I go out, anyway). I don't want to sweat all of that into my pores, ew.

[kirra]

I usually go at night, so most of the time I have at least mascara and concealer on. If I have a full face of makeup on i'll wash it off first, but if it's just mascara, I don't bother.

I don't put it on just to go to the gym, though.

[Deleted]

I'm a poor so I don't go to the gym.

I have a question for other people with long hair. Do you always put your hair up before a run/workout? I do because it would drive me absolutely BSC to leave it down, but I see girls at the gym on treadmills with their hair down all the time. How does it not annoy the hell out of you?

Not just in a ponytail, but in one of those cheerleader doorknocker ponytails so I can't feel it on my neck. I HATE the feeling of my sweaty hair. All the women with perfect hair are just not running hard enough.

[pantsparty]

When I worked out in the mornings, I would put on eyeliner. I DID have on makeup when I worked out in the evenings, but it's just from what I have on for the day.

[AHappierHour]

I have to wash my face before I workout. I also can't stand if my hair is not in a ponytail and braided. If I don't braid it it gets really tangled.

[Deleted]

I can't imagine working out with my hair down and mine's only a little past my shoulders; sweaty hair on my neck is disgusting. My hairband broke in my class once & I had to leave; I couldn't take it.

[koopa17]

I got to the gym and realized I didn't have a hair tie and turned right around and left. If I forget that or headphones I'm out!

[leancuisine]

No way, I'd just sweat it off.

I usually go to the gym after work, so my eye make-up is generally still there. I do not put anything on specifically for the gym though.


ETA:  I always put my hair in a ponytail. 

[eb777888]

Fuck no! I do see it at my gym, though. I don't get it. I would be so uncomfortable.

[eb777888]

My hair goes up, gross and sweaty piled on top of my head. I'm rrrrrreal hottie at the gym.

[janegold]

Well yeah, but I go from work.

[hisno1girl]

I work out after work, so yeah, I have make up on at the gym but I wouldn't put it on if I normally didn't have it on.

I have really long hair and I normally put my hair up in a bun. When I run, if my hair is in a pony, my hair flops around too much and it's heavy and will actually make my neck hurt.

I'm actually scared of my hair getting caught in the weight equipment, so it's always up. Always.

[bonquiqui]

When I was working, I used to go after work, and would have a full face of make up on from the day.  

[nursewife]

I go after supper. I usually have my makeup on from my work day, and hair in a pony or bun. I definitely don't worry about how I look.

When I used to go to the gym after work, I would always wash my face before starting my workout. I hate sweating through make-up.

I don't understand how other women can run with their hair down either. Whenever I get my hair cut, I specifically say I need to be able to pull it into a ponytail for running.

Once, during a run, I stopped to adjust my ponytail and broke my hair band. I almost cried at the thought of having to run home with my hair down. And then I realized I could tie the ends of the hair band together, and all was right again.
