Does make up run when you exercise?

What would you put on/ not put on if you were going to exercise (and then go somewhere) so that your makeup won't look horrible?

I would put most of my makeup on after exercise. Mascara could be put on before. Maybe long-lasting lipstick, too. Foundation and blush I would leave for after the exercise.

My eye make up always runs. If I had to be somewhere after I exercised, I would put it on at that point instead.

My eyes tear really easily, so I always use waterproof eye makeup--it even stays presentable when I go swimming, and comes off easily with Neutrogena waterproof makeup remover.

I do not wear any makeup when I exercise. (okay, sometimes even when I don't exercise.) it is bad for your skin to be wearing makeup when your exercising, and eye makeup just runs. if I need to be somewhere directly afterwards (and this is often) I put on makeup afterwards, and since you have a natural rosy glow from your workout, you need minimal makeup at that point (I usually wash my face, put on moisturizer, pressed powder, eye shadow, mascara and lip gloss.)

if ur mascara n liner is on for a while it shouldn't run and I do long last lipstick. foundation, blush, eye shadow etc go on after. and I can easily wash my face after working out without worrying of ruining anything.

I would just put on waterproof mascara and lipstick. When you do exercize and your face may sweat the foundation may melt.

I use waterproof eyeliner, mascara, and long lasting lipstick. No base. If I wasn't allergic, I'd use moisterizer-that can even out skin tone nicely. My best and more reliable brand is Revlon colorstay for the lips and eyes, almay for the mascara. I sweat profusely when I work out, and it stays fresh the whole time. It doesn't even come off on the white towel that they give for Spinning class! (Not very easy to take off though!) I love wearing makeup when I work out at the gym, it makes me feel more confident about how I look.
