Natural makeup
Going to the gym with makeup is not the best thing in the world. Keep in mind that sweat, mixed with makeup, makes your skin dirtier, clogging your pores and causing the obnoxious blackheads to form. Therefore, if you want to give your face a good look for exercise, it is best to opt for a very natural makeup.

And for that nothing better than a BB Cream. They are not as covering as the bases and, in addition, they provide you with extra hydration, which will not hurt you while you exercise, because you lose water. BB Creams for sensitive skin (even if your skin is not) are the best for this case, because they do not irritate the skin.

What should prevail in a makeup made specifically for sports activity is naturalness, so it is better to use eyeliners in shades such as green, brown or gray, instead of the classic black, which would mark the look too much. Ah! And don't forget, it better be waterproof.

Are you unable to leave the house without lipstick? No problem! Lipsticks that highlight the natural color are the most this season. Although if you want to opt for the classic red, it is better to choose a lipstick that is very hydrating so that your lips do not dry out during exercise.

Going to the gym with makeup is not the best thing you can do for your skin. But if you insist on doing it, there are a series of products that are more suitable than others so that it does not suffer and also so that you do not end up looking like a raccoon as soon as you start sweating.
Gym Proof Makeup
- Base . Using a conventional foundation when you know you are going to "beat yourself up" can be harmful to your skin. It is better to use the lightest ones, because they do not overload as much or a BB Cream, which provides hydration at the same time as a touch of color. If you're going for a run or even a walk outside, don't forget to wear sunscreen. There are them with color if you want to see yourself more favored.
- Eyes . In this case, it is essential to opt for waterproof formulas that do not move. Start by applying shadows of this type in nude or bronze tones to give light to your look; line your eyes with more natural colors like green, gray or brown instead of black; and use a waterproof mascara and brow gel, as they will be the first to pay the consequences of sweating.
- Lips . It is best to opt for transparent moisturizing formulas that add shine, but do not stain the skin. In the event that you are not able to leave the house without lipstick, choose formulas that highlight the natural tone of your lips, but do not have too much pigment. Try a tinted lip balm.
- Cheeks . Powder blushes are not the most suitable for these occasions, rather opt for liquid or cream textures that act more like a "dye" and do not "fall" or displace so easily.
