Before and After the Gym

So, I thought I'd do something a little different. I go to the gym at least five times a week, so fairly often.  I don't wear makeup there usually or bother with it right after but that's because I'm usually just going home. I know some people have to go back to work, run errands (I do often do that but I do it beforehand) etc. So this is just to show you that you can do a quick and easy makeup job at the gym that'll still make a statement. I also included my gym outfit and what I changed into at the gym after.

So here I am, without makeup, after washing my face. I have decent skin, if I do say so myself (thank you skin care routine and healthy dairy free diet!) and I don't mind going out without makeup.

I figured I'd do eyeliner and brows at home. They would stay on through a sweaty workout and I wouldn't look "made up". I used elf brow kit and elf cream eyeliner dark brown.

So here I am with some eyeliner on, just applied right into the lash line on top and lightly on the bottom, and my brows lightly filled in. It just makes me look a bit more awake but you wouldn't know I have makeup on. 

Here is what I brought to the gym: Urban Decay tinted moisturizer, Blinc mascara (it is very lengthening but not thickening so I find it more natural looking), Wet n Wild lipstick "552A" and some bronzer I don't know the brand of! Oh and a Mary Kay brush.  But you could bring a foundation instead of the moisturizing/bronzer or an eyeshadow. The point is to keep it simple but choose something that makes an impact which in this case is the lipstick. 

Gym clothes!

And here I am post-gym. I took this picture at home but I did do the makeup at the gym. If I were to re-do it I'd bring an under eye concealer instead of the bronzer/brush.  I did put some of the bronzer on as eyeshadow which worked nicely.

What I changed into.

It was actually quite cold out so for pictures/walking my dog I added a jacket.

The rain made my pictures blurry but you get the idea! Hope you liked the post. The point really is just that a little goes a long way. You don't need a complicated outfit or loads of makeup to make yourself look put together. Nor do you need a totally natural look in order for it to be quick and easy.
