Are you a Gym Dandy?

It's class participation time here at B&TB. Now, please don't get all excited; I haven't the co. clearance to give away goodies. I'm just wondering out loud again, and I'd like to get your feedback on this Q I've got.
Do wear a full-face to work out?

Personally, I'm lucky if I can successfully climb out of bed, throw on something that isn't smelly and get to the class on time. So, when I met a girl with a well-thought out ensemble, a shiny blow out and full—and I mean full—faché in my Pilates class the other day (did I mention it was 7am?), it got me thinking:

A. What the heck time did she get up?
B. Is there something wrong with me for looking like a gitana?
C. Am I alone in the gitanisim?

So, there it is. Now, it's your turn: Are you a gym dandy or a gym, um, dumpy like me?

I never wear makeup to the gym. If i go in the morning, I pull on my workout gear and go...and if I go after work, I wash my face before I go... Who wants to sweat makeup all over the place?

I never wear makeup to the gym. The only thing that might get worn is possibly remnants of eye liner from the last time I put makeup on. I don't see the point of wearing it to the gym... Won't the sweat just make it run and be ugly?

The gym's not a fashion runway, it's a place for getting into physical (and mental) good health.

I don't wear makeup to the gym either. I sweat a lot and I'd leave makeup all over my towel if I did. You are not alone!

I am a gm dumpy.I mean I will probably have lip gloss and mascara on, but that is it. But I don't wear foundation on a daily basis to begin with. I am FREAKED OUT when I see girls with the full face of makeup on at the gym. It *scares* me. I don't see that kind of thing here in Cardiff, CA, that often but when I lived in Michigan it was much more common.

Dumpy to the 10th power. i mean, i'm just gonna get sweaty and shower afterward anyway.

the best time to wear make up is AFTER a workout and shower. i'm so relaxed and happy by then! =)

I usually wear eyeliner and curl my lashes before I go, but I always do that before I leave the house to go anywhere. Anything other than this, and it'd be running down my face by the time class was over. Also, I wash my face right after class, so it would get washed off anyway.

Um, wearing makeup at the gym and sweating into it is AWFUL for your skin. And if you DON'T get sweaty, then you're not working out right.

Some girls . . . . do ya sleep with it on, too?

Ew! Makeup to the gym??? But I also am not one who has ever seen the gym as a pickup place, as I know some do. I hate to be talked to or looked at when I'm sweating it up. Also, how do people not sweat off their makeup?

I make sure I'm comfortable, but otherwise, no dandy-ness (?) whatsoever!
