1. Sweatproof Makeup
When you go to the gym, you don't want your makeup to end up running down your face. That's why you should stick to wearing minimal makeup that looks low maintenance. Waterproof makeup is always a great idea, as well, because it will reduce your chances of it melting down your cheeks. As a bonus, this tutorial even shows you how to create a gorgeous hairstyle that's fit for the gym.
To achieve that effortlessly chic look, start with a primer that promises longevity and can handle a bit of sweat. Opt for a tinted moisturizer instead of a heavy foundation to let your skin breathe. A waterproof concealer can spot-treat any blemishes or dark circles for a more even complexion. To finish, sweep on a light, waterproof mascara and dab on a lip stain that won't smudge, even when you're hitting those high-intensity intervals. With these essentials, you'll still look unstoppably fabulous, even at the peak of your workout.
2. Minimal Makeup
The woman in this video knows that you shouldn't go crazy prepping your face for the gym, but you can still find tiny ways to make yourself look presentable. For instance, if you're embarrassed of leaving the house with your pimples and spots showing, there's nothing wrong with wearing concealer to the gym. You can put foundation on, as well. However, when it's time to do your eyes and lips, you should use natural colors that will make you appear like you aren't wearing much at all.

3. Work, School, or Gym Makeup
Not only will this makeup routine work for the gym, but it'll also work for a casual day of work or school. You won't be putting too many products on your face, but you'll still feel fresh and fabulous throughout the day.
The idea is to strike the perfect balance between looking polished and not overdoing it. A light foundation or BB cream to even out your skin tone, a dash of mascara, and a hint of blush for that healthy glow is all you need. Top it off with a moisturizing lip balm to keep your lips hydrated. Remember, opt for waterproof products to ensure your makeup stays put, whether you're battling it out in a corporate meeting or sweating it out on the treadmill. Keep it simple, keep it classy, and most importantly, keep it you!
