Wearing Makeup When Playing Sports

When you are out there in the field playing a sport, the audience would most likely pay more attention to your skills or the game itself than how you look. That is why ladies rarely wear makeup when they train or compete. However, you do want to look presentable and pretty while playing. In that case, you may want to wear a little bit of cosmetics to enhance your looks.

Start with a light application of sunscreen first. Then apply a lightweight or semi-matte foundation. Before putting the powder on your face, check the label to see if it is noncomedogenic. This means that the powder is light enough to avoid clogging your pores as you sweat. If you use heavier foundation, you might end up with a pimple outbreak due to clogged pores. Be sure too that the foundation is sweat proof; nothing looks more uglier than having the powder run off your face as you sweat.

Apply a bit of sweat-proof blush and some brown or clear mascara to enhance the features of your face. Finish off with curled eyelashes and a touch of lip gloss so you will have a youthful, I-am-naturally-pretty look. Finally, you can ask a professional makeup artist for advice on what brand to use when you play sports.
