How to choose the best waterproof makeup for sports

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.

Unifies the tone

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.

Shiny lips

With the BB Cream and a hydrating lip balm (if you want there is it with color) it is more than enough to have a good face during your classes in the gym.

Intensify your look

Do you want more? If curling your eyelashes is not enough, then you have to resort to shadows, masks and waterproof eyeliners so as not to leave your Zumba class as if you were a raccoon.

Eyeliner

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.

Shades

Shadows should bring light to the look to make it look more open. Nothing like nude and bronze tones. Apply them in the center of the eyelid and blend well with your fingers.

Mask

Use a mascara that is waterproof, but separates your lashes well, like this one.

Define your brows

Can't leave home without perfect eyebrows? Use waterproof gels and dab them very lightly, without marking them too much, before you start exercising.

A touch of color

The ideal is to wear clean skin when you do sports, unless you do it outdoors, you will have to use a sunscreen suitable for your skin type and resistant to heat. Yes, it can have a touch of color to make you look better.

With a very high SPF

The skin suffers a lot when we expose it to the sun without filters to protect it. The higher the SPF the better, especially for the face.

Very light

If you want to use a foundation itself, choose those that are lighter so that you do not end up with a look that is too heavy.

L'Oréal Paris Cushion Fluid Foundation, € 15.95

Lip red

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.

Intense color

Be careful not to dry your face with the towel by rubbing, but by giving small touches, so that your makeup does not move from its place.

Dior Color Enhancing Moisturizing Lip Balm, € 37.15

Blush on your cheeks

If you are not one of those who turns red as a tomato as soon as you do three squats then you can apply a little blush on your cheeks. Better that it be in cream or liquid so that it adheres better to the skin.

Elizabeth Arden Blush Tint Blush, € 39

Waterproof for all

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.
