Makeup when working out?

Filed in archive Stay Healthy on July 31, 2007

Most women prefer to wear make up all day, that includes when they go to the gym.
But is it really necessary to wear makeup when working out?

Some say more natural is better, that it´s suppose to look like you haven´t put anything on.
Anastasia from Bellaonline says: ¨What I learned after many many years of practicing karate is that, for the most part, men really don't care if a woman wears makeup or tight spandex when she's exercising¨.

Could it be that easy? That men actually don´t care whether or not you are wearing makeup in the gym? That will take off a lot of pressure for many women.

Well there are a few things you can do to look natural in the gym, one is obviously to not put any makeup on. Once you learn how to not wear makeup, and it can be a learning process for some women, it can actually be quite relieving not to wear any and still feel beautiful. You might actually be surprised on how you get compliments for your natural beauty.

One tip is to use a tinted moisturizer or a sweat proof moisturizer.
You can also use waterproof mascara and if you want to use eyeshadow, go for a more creamy version that doesn´t smudge after a while.
Lipstick? Not really necessary but some women can´t stay without it.

With these tips in mind, remember that your skin will thank you if you skip the makeup in the gym.
