These photos were taken at 6:30 a.m. and again at 8 p.m. after a full day at work, two rush-hour commutes, and a very intense 45-minute workout without any touch-ups. You can definitely tell from the "after" photo that I'm slightly more red in the face; however, the foundation held up well. It covered my main blemishes and uneven skin tone and prevented me looking like a total sweaty mess.
Wearing makeup — particularly a full-coverage foundation — to a work out is not ideal. However, going straight to a fitness class after work is my norm, and I don't want to faff around with washing my face beforehand, and for sustainability reasons I definitely don't want to use makeup wipes.
I don't actually care about looking "done-up" for the gym; I just want something that won't look like it's slid off my face, nor do I want it to cause a breakout. Apparently, that's not too much to ask, according to Charlotte Tilbury.
