Truth be told wearing makeup to the gym is simply a bad idea. The combination of dirt, sweat and makeup clogs the pores and results in the big tomato- like creatures forming on the surface of the skin. But we don’t have to see makeup as the enemy, it is actually can be one of our close friends.
When we are suffering from a “bad” day, when everything seems to be wrong with our appearance (under eye bags, huge zits, oily skin) we turn to makeup (the magic fairy) to make those flaws temporarily disappear. The reality is that when we see ourselves as “confident and beautiful” we get the motivation and zeal to go out into the world and conquer, including going to the gym.
