I love that awesome rosy glow I get after a session at
the gym. However, I don't love the smeared mascara and sweaty pores that can be
left behind. Here are my favorite ways to get ready in a jiff after a workout.
- Makeup Remover Wipes Use these after you shower off to remove any dirt and leftover makeup.
- Tinted Moisturizer or BB Cream Don't cover up that rosy flush with tons of heavy foundation. Sheer formulas are more youthful anyway. Tinted moisturizers will provide moisture, SPF protection and a light coverage. BB creams pack a whollop and act as primer, moisture and coverage all in one. Some don't have SPF, tho, so be on the lookout for one that does.
- Concealer Gotta have a great concealer to brighten up under the eyes. I like Makeup Forever HD concealer.
- Multitasking Products Use a cream tint for lips and cheeks. I like Stila cream blush. Julie Hewett makes a beautiful cream product called Shimmy that is awesome for eyeshadow and to highlight the face. Products that do double-duty save you time when you've got to hustle back to work.
- Lovely Lashes My clients LOVE their eyelash extensions and many say they don't need eye makeup after a workout because their extensions look so good! If you don't have lash extensions, a great mascara is a must. Find your fave and place a business or credit card behind the lashes and wiggle the wand upward from the base of the lash line. That will catch any mascara from getting onto the eyelid and will give the base of the lashes a thick, black look and eliminate the need for eyeliner.
I hope you try out these tips after your next trip to the
gym!
Love, Sweat, and Lipgloss
