Opting Out of Running in Makeup. Running all made up, with a face
full of makeup. I have never done it, but many of my friends do. I am
always amazed. It is hard enough for me to make sure that I have on
matching socks at 4 a.m. There is just no way I could put on eye liner,
mascara, and lip gloss before walking out the door, which is why I get
my clothes out the night before. I do not even wear earrings while
running, but I seem to be in the minority here. Heck, Salty Running
already has a post about runnable make-up. And don’t get me started on
the trend of trying to look good in race photos!
But, yeah, running in make-up is something I just don’t get.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not judging. If you can put in the miles, I
do not care what shade of lip gloss you are wearing or how dangly your
earrings are. I just cannot do running all made up. Nor do I want to do
it, frankly. I know there is waterproof makeup and maybe it is sweatproof as well, but with my luck, I would have my Mary Kay hypoallergenic makeup in my eyes or streaming down my face.
Not that I think I should look pretty when I run
(okay, in my imagination my skin is glowing and I look beautiful), but
I do not want to look like a drowned rat. Plus when I wipe the sweat
off my face, I do not want to worry about makeup stains. While I will
admit that my friends look beautiful running all made up, it takes super
powers to get all made up before a morning run.
I also can’t imagine running with huge hoop earrings. I hate having
anything that moves on when I run. I do not even like wearing a necklace
or bracelet. One of my friends wears hoop earring so big I can put my
fist through them. Again, I am in awe. Not only does she wear them, but
she is a pretty fast runner.
The moral of this post is to each her own. Running all made up or
naked face like me, there is room for all of us on the pavement.
