Gym girlies: do you wear makeup to the gym?

It's not a new thing at all, but I started seeing GRWM videos and girls are getting ready for the gym and putting makeup on. Not judging but seriously wondering if yall sweat lol

I would be this person if I went to the gym. Not so much with makeup because I don’t really wear it but I definitely get ready before doing anything. I do Pilates with all my jewelry hair done lashes done.

@Allexys so you wear accessories but no makeup? That's understandable too.

I always fill my eyebrows in a little bit only because I literally never leave the house without doing that but I don’t wear any other make up

I don’t do gym but I do go to classes- Pilates Zumba and salsa lessons, yes I wear makeup. I sweat, I sweat ALOT, esp my hair and back is slippery AF by the time I finish, (my hair looks like it’s got mousse in it it’s so shiny from sweat 😂) but a good setting spray as primer and then after applying makeup is what helps it not to sweat (as much) lol. I find when I don’t wear makeup my face sweats more

Nope. I sweat WAY too much. It would be absolutely pointless.

I wear makeup daily and used to work out after work so yes, I’d be wearing makeup. But I wasn’t specifically “getting ready for the gym” so much as just getting ready for the day.

@Kellie yeah sweat literally drips from my body. Do you have nice skin?

If I happen to have makeup on yes. But I don’t put on makeup to go to the gym.

I usually have make up on before going gym, but if not then yeah I’d put on a smth smth as I would going anywhere! I used to be a non make up person but nowadays I feel like I’m back in make up phase again, and eh to each their own really

No chance. I’m going to the gym to get sweaty and ugly as a mother fucker. Nothing makes me feel dirtier than sweaty makeup or suffocating skin when I should be sweating.

@Sia do you put it on just because you like it? Or does it help you feel motivated/confident to gym?

@Monét I’m not sure, how does one define “nice skin” 🤪 I have uneven skin tone, pigmentation and some faint age spots coming up as I’m nearing 40 but no acne or pimples. It’s hydrated and glowy though from my Korean products haha. I’ve never battled w back acne either Xx I don’t put makeup on FOR the classes I already have it on for the day. I just spray some setting spray before I leave

I usually have it on as I would have done the school run and all the errands etc x

When i test my vacation full face beat down… cuz im not gonna turn into a melt face on vacay cuz IM sweating.

Only brows x

If I have makeup on I leave it, if I’m feeling self conscious I add a bit of tinted moisturizer (to cover up acne) or eyebrow pencil (I have no eyebrows) never go out of my way to put makeup on though 🤣

No ;( it gives me pimples.

I sweat a bucket load 😅 but i also generally dont look good when I go full stop. Hair in a messy bun, nothing matches, everything is oversized. Meh

Eye liner if I'm not wearing my glasses

I have a home gym so don’t really care however when i did go to the gym a little but not really

When i went to the gym I went straight after work. I'd change in the work bathroom and go to the gym so I always wore make up to the gym.

I don’t take it off to workout if I already have it on

@Sarah yeah I sweat like a very active man 😭

@Sofia that too. Like sleeping with makeup? Instant breakout. My pores are like baby pleaseeeee let me breathe

I generally don’t leave the house without at least some face makeup. I have so much splotchy redness it is awful and I’m super self conscious. It gets worse when I work out too!

@Monét hey girl, I usually have it on before I leave the house, it’s usually mascara, blush and lips, it’s basic but I feel like yeah ‘I’ll seize the day’ and it’s not even so much to go to the gym tbh, but if I happen to go, then aye at least my face is ready☺️ To conclude, I don’t care for makeup at the gym so much, I’ll be looking ragged at the end of a sesh anyway but I know the after feels of a workout will give me enough confidence to leave looking like that but feeling amazing🤣
