I answered your other thread, but I wanted to add that another thing I love about BB cream is that it is a moisturizer, so I don't have to put on a moisturizer under it.
I got to the gym directly after work. Literally could not care less if a boy (because a man wouldn't care) is squeamish that my mascara is running.
It's just gonna add to the discomfort and you might be less motivated to push till failure. Wipe it off beforehand. I usually wash my face in ice cold water at the lockers before hitting the gym. You will feel more refreshed.
Depends. If I'm going to be outside and it's hot outside then I put on moisturizer with spf 30, dust with translucent powder and clear lip gloss. Sometimes I'll give a swipe of mascara.
If I'll be in the a/c then I wear tinted moisturizer, bronzer and translucent powder with tinted lip gloss and mascara. Sometimes I'll use a light colored eyeshadow as well.
I'm nowhere near 50, but I definitely feel that less is more is required as skin ages, and that skin care goes a lot further than skin camouflage. At most, I'll use a dusting of translucent powder over my colorless moisturizer if any skin-tone evening is necessary. Even tinted moisturizer is too masklike for me. I have very pale, porcelain skin, and even the lightest commercial tints are too dark and unnatural looking. Every BB cream I've ever tried has been too dark, and too heavy-feeling. Traditional foundation, ugh, forget it. Might as well be putting frosting or spackle on my skin. I can't tolerate the feel whatsoever.
Wow, I thought I was the only one who felt this way.
I usually only put concealer or light powder foundation on because everything else feels like a mask and just sits on my skin/rubs off on everything. On a daily basis, I just wear liquid spf and then matify it with some powder.
Yep. I can't stand touching my face, and having tinted cosmetics come off on my fingertips. It gives me the willies, like nails on a chalkboard. Naked face, please.

Yeah, I have become the same way for years now. As mentioned, I lived in Florida, live a very active lifestyle and also perspire more than the average woman. I just cannot have anything tinted on my face EXCEPT for a few dabs of concealer to blend in a few imperfections and occasionally a dab of gel blush, which does not come off easily on anything. So much easier that way. I have pretty good skin for my age and a golden tan anyway so don't really need any type of base.
One piece of advice ladies. Please don't wear makeup to the squat rack. It just looks silly.
Seriously, I ain't looking unless it's over 90 lb.
Thanks for the advice. It must be horrible to have to "eye stalk" a woman who is not aesthetically pleasing to you while you are working out. The inhumanity!
I rarely wear foundation in summer. I normally have enough color to go without, just a face powder. Waterproof mascara, eyeliner and maybe a bronze eyeshadow. I love summer!
