To the Gym Makeup

  So for the Navy, I have put myself on a strict healthy diet and lots and lots of exercise.  I want to be fully prepared when I go to Illinois for boot.  Now I know a lot of people thinks it's dumb or not smart to care about what you look like when you go to the gym, and I agree...to an extent. Do I think I need to wear the cutest clothes or have the besthair? No! I'm working my tail off I need comfy and functional! However, I do wear makeup.  I want my face to not look as dead as I truly feel. Makeup though is very tricky because you can hinder your work-out and beauty in your face if its not done right.  All the time I see girls at the gym looking like they are going clubbing! I understand the insecurity of need to loose weight and get fit and makeup being a comfort zone but there is a limit! The biggest, most defined limit is foundation! Hello?! Foundation(both powder and liquid) clog your pores. You sweat from your pores. And no its not good that you're holding back sweat. Sweat may stink and be sticky but remember its all the toxins and icky stuff leaving your body. It's cleansing and it helps with weight loss. Plus, when you don't loose sweat and you clog it behind your pores you are way more likely to break out! I can't tell you how many times I heard a girl whine about how she started working out and the little bit of sweat makes her face horrible. I ask that girl two questions 1) do you wipe you sweat with your hand or a towel? and 2)Do you wear foundation or do you take your makeup off? Foundation is just holding the toxins right there on your face so duh you break out! Foundation is best to use after even right after. Just rinse your face and apply a redness reducing foundation like gloMineral's Redness Relief. It gives you face a normal tone glow so you also look like that 45 min run was a piece of pie.  Next eyeliner, now this is not a wait item just make sure it's waterproof! No body likes raccoon eyes. They are not sexy! at all. Same thing with your mascara. Lots think that waterproof is to hard to get off but they are lazy! it is not just wash your face with soap. For eyeshadow its the same idea as foundation. But when your done use cool colors like blue green and purple to make your face glow and not like you just worked your but off.  Lips=Chap stick. If you're really working you'll probably end up breathing in and out your mouth instead of just out so you need something really moisturizing.
  Hope this helped:) I<3WORKINGOUT!
