24
items Mascara that ends up on your cheekbones by minute twenty and a shiny forehead before the cool-down is over are fixable problems. This list sorts Ulta's waterproof makeup, sport SPF, face wipes and post-workout skin and hair resets by what survives a ...
A mist of this over my makeup before a sweaty walk with the dogs is what keeps my base from sliding by the time I'm home. It dries down matte instead of tacky, and a travel-size fits my gym bag side pocket without leaking.
bareMinerals Original Mineral Veil 24HR Matte Setting Spray
Skip the tight elastics that leave a dent and snap hair at the ponytail. These small satin scrunchies hold a workout ponytail or bun without tugging, and I keep two on my wrist so I never go hunting for one in the car.
Kitsch Midnight Satin Petite Scrunchies Set
These live in my car's cup holder for the post-workout wipe-down before I drive anywhere. The hyaluronic acid keeps skin from feeling tight afterward, and one wipe handles sweat, sunscreen and whatever makeup is left on my face.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Facial Cleansing Wipes
My drugstore pick for sweat days: it lengthens without clumping and has never left raccoon smudges even through a hot cycling class. It comes off with a good micellar water, so I don't have to scrub my lashes at night.
L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Original Waterproof Mascara
The big complaint with sport sunscreen is the stinging when it runs into your eyes mid-run. This non-drip formula stays put and goes on invisible, so it works for outdoor runs and tennis days and under makeup if you want it to.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Pro-Sport Sunscreen SPF 50
Sweaty brows are the first thing to go flat, and this gel keeps them lifted for hours without that crunchy, flaky feel. It is water and sweat resistant, which makes it the one brow product I trust for hot yoga or summer hikes.
Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Eyebrow Gel
A non-aerosol mist that cleans sweaty roots and kills the gym smell without any white cast on dark hair. The 1.5 oz size is easy to keep in a gym bag, and it dries in a minute so I can style my hair right afterward.
Bumble and bumble Prêt-à-Powder Post Workout Dry Shampoo Mist
If you want any liner to last through a workout, this is the one. It glides on creamy rather than tugging, stays on the waterline, and I've worn it through a sweaty outdoor boot camp with no smudging below the eye.
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Waterline Eyeliner Pencil
When I want a bit of coverage but not a full foundation, this tinted mineral SPF 50 is the only thing I wear outdoors. It's rated water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes, so it's built for walk, tennis or garden days.
Live Tinted Hueguard Skin Tint SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen
These are bigger than face wipes, with a bumpy exfoliating side for sweat and a smooth side for cleansing. I tuck a pack in my gym bag for a quick cool-down on my neck and chest before I get back in the car.
Oars + Alps Cooling + Cleaning Wipes
Cream blush survives sweat far better than powder, and this twist-up stick is easy to dab on with my fingers in the car after class. For the price it's a fun way to get a flushed, healthy look back when your color has faded.
L.A. Girl Marble Cream Blush Stick
A step up from drugstore when I want real volume that can handle heat, humidity and an active day. It's ophthalmologist tested, which matters to me when my eyes water on a windy run, and it still removes cleanly.
Clinique High Impact Waterproof Volumizing Mascara
A stick is the easiest way to reapply SPF over makeup around your temples, nose and ears without smearing anything. It's sweat resistant for 80 minutes and slides into the smallest pocket of a gym or tennis bag.
Supergoop! PLAY 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50
The budget setting spray I'd tell anyone to try first: a fine mist that adds sweat and transfer resistance without a sticky film. At around fourteen dollars it's an easy swap into the gym bag if the pricier bottle stays home.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist Spray
Waterproof makeup needs something that dissolves it, and a soaked cotton pad of micellar water does that without rubbing. This hyaluronic version leaves skin soft rather than squeaky, which I like after a sweaty day.
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Replumping Hyaluronic Acid Micellar Water
Press one on your forehead and nose after a workout and the shine is gone without disturbing makeup underneath. They're thin, cost very little, and a pack fits in a wallet, so there's no reason not to keep a few handy.
Palladio Rice Paper Blotting Sheets
After a hot workout my skin feels parched, and a few spritzes of this refreshing mist reset it before moisturizer. It's an inexpensive way to hydrate over makeup too, and the fine spray doesn't leave water droplets sitting on your face.
The INKEY List Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist
Under-eye concealer that creases or fades with sweat looks tired fast. This waterproof one is full coverage with a matte finish, goes on with a big wand applicator, and is one of the few drugstore concealers I've seen last a hot afternoon.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Concealer
Real cleansing beats wipes at the end of the day, and this gel-to-foam wash removes sweat, SPF and oil without stripping. It's gentle enough for twice-a-day use, which matters if frequent workouts have made your skin reactive.
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
For that sun-kissed gym-to-lunch look, one swipe across cheeks and temples blends in with fingertips and doesn't look heavy. The cream formula stays more natural than powder when your skin is a little damp.
Rare Beauty Always Sunny Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick
A light water-gel moisturizer is all I want after cleansing when skin is warm and flushed. It soaks in quickly, doesn't clog or feel greasy under SPF the next morning, and the fragrance-free version is gentler on post-workout skin.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream Fragrance Free Moisturizer
Lips burn and dry out on a run, and this tinted balm adds SPF 15 and a hint of color in one swipe. At about six dollars it's an easy one to buy a couple of and keep in the car and the gym bag.
Sun Bum Tinted Lip Balm SPF 15
Plant-based, alcohol-free wipes with squalane that feel more like skincare than a gym towelette. They work for hands, neck and chest after a workout, and they pack flat enough to travel in a carry-on too.
PAUME Cleansing Hand and Body Wipes
If sweat tends to make your base slide, this grippy primer is the layer that helps makeup stay in place and stay matte. A tiny amount goes over moisturizer and under foundation, and it noticeably extends wear on hot days.
Urban Decay All Nighter Ghosting Paste Primer
