#1: Wearing the right foundation
To avoid breakouts from clogged pores after a workout, wearing the right foundation is absolutely key. Try to go for oil-free products, so that your skin can breathe—your makeup will stay intact longer too.
Try: Chanel Les Beiges foundation—the sweat and sebum-resistance feature is a major plus!
#2: Line the eyes
Looking for a good waterproof eyeliner goes without saying, better still if it is specifically sweatproof. Besides defining the eyes for a fresh, energised look, you can even match a bold coloured liner to your gym gear for an extra dose of chic.

#3: Don’t skip the mascara
You could use a waterproof mascara, or make use of this simple yet ingenious tip: Instead of applying it from the roots, sweep it to the ends of your lashes to avoid unsightly smudges as you break a sweat.
#4: Tint the lips
An obvious red lip is probably not the look you would want for the gym, but a soft and subtle pop of colour will go nicely with the healthy flush from your workout. Opt for a moisturising lipstick that will sit on the your lips in comfort.
