00:00Just got a dab in the sweat.
00:03That's just a little extra highlight, baby girl.
00:07Hey guys, I'm Ally, and for the next three days I'm going to be wearing a full face of makeup
00:13to the gym.
00:14Hey guys, my name's Emily, and for the next three days I will be stepping outside my comfort zone,
00:20and I'm not wearing any makeup to the gym.
00:22I usually always wear a full face of makeup, so I'm not sure why my routine at the gym is
00:28different.
00:28Actually, I do know why it's different.
00:30I don't want my skin to break out.
00:33I am not and never will be and never have been a morning workout person.
00:37So everything I did was always after work, so to me it felt just like an extra step to take
00:42almond makeup off.
00:43And to be honest, I like looking a little cute going to the gym.
00:46I'm so excited to bring this experiment to the gym because I think it will make me want to run
00:52extra hard.
00:53I'm just curious to see like if I'm going to feel different or if things are going to change or
00:57if my skin really is going to feel better.
00:59So follow me for the next three days as I keep my gym routine, but I take my makeup off.
01:03As I go to the gym with a full face of makeup on.
01:08Okay guys, it's the first day and it is a full-on snowstorm, and it's a snow day.
01:14So I went really light today because I literally had to put on makeup to go to the gym.
01:22I feel like my makeup is not going to last just for this reason, not even sweating.
01:27I have on mascara, concealer, but obviously not enough because my nose is so red in this cold weather.
01:35Highlighter, a little lip gloss, and bronzer.
01:38I don't like it.
01:40Alright guys, it's day one of the No Makeup Gym Challenge and I am getting ready to go to my
01:43first class.
01:44I've already been at work and normally at this time I'll be applying more makeup, but instead I'm going to
01:47be taking it off.
01:48As you can imagine, I'm already feeling a little nervous.
01:51Normally at this time after work I would be putting on just a little bit more makeup before I go,
01:55but instead I'm taking it off.
01:57Everyone wished me luck.
01:58I'm going to take a kickboxing class, so I'm already scared enough as it is.
02:01And now I'm going sans makeup.
02:08Alright guys, I just wrapped my first class.
02:10As you can see, still makeup free.
02:12About like five minutes in I forgot I wasn't even wearing makeup.
02:15I will say my skin definitely felt a little grittier than I originally thought.
02:19So I could feel a difference near the end, but so far it's not too bad.
02:26I'm about to go to the gym.
02:28I have my full face of makeup on from the day.
02:31That means lip color, eyeliner, bronzer, foundation, brows, mascara, concealer, powder, the works.
02:43The great thing about this is that I'm going to the gym in between classes and I don't have to
02:47take that extra time and extra step to take off my makeup and then possibly put it back on to
02:53go back to class.
02:54So it's definitely a time saver that way.
02:56Typically, I'd maybe fix up my makeup just a little bit.
02:59As you can tell, it's been a bit of a long day, so it's not as pristine as I normally
03:04like it.
03:04But as of right now, I'm about to take it all off.
03:07Especially because it's a long day, I feel like I'd try and make myself feel just like a little bit
03:10better by looking a little better.
03:12Not too shabby.
03:13My makeup held up pretty well.
03:15I've got some redness coming through on my cheeks, but I also had on some blush.
03:20Didn't realize I sweat that much on my face, so I'm hoping I don't get any breakouts on my forehead.
03:26So my workout is complete.
03:28Candles lit.
03:29Getting the aesthetic going.
03:30Nice and clean.
03:32I did avoid eye contact with everyone that I saw, so I didn't necessarily feel my best.
03:39But I will say that today, I feel like my skin does feel a little lighter maybe.
03:43So I think I'm a little happier with the no makeup look today.
03:47Okay, it's day three and I'm headed out to the gym.
03:51I have on eyeliner, mascara, foundation, concealer, little bit of lip gloss, brows, highlighter, bronzer, blush.
04:02Oh my gosh, I actually have so much makeup on right now.
04:05Usually I would put on makeup after going to the gym and then sort of like get ready for my
04:11full day.
04:11But I'm really glad that I'll get to skip an extra step later.
04:16Because I'm kind of feeling myself today, I would be touching up just a little, nothing crazy,
04:20just in case I meet any fun people at the gym or, you know, I'm just like working extra hard
04:23on that treadmill.
04:24But instead, I'm about to take it all off to go to the gym.
04:27I definitely like that I look cute.
04:30Like it makes me feel confident and ready for the day in general.
04:35And I think I'm also just feeling great that I even got up and made it to the gym today.
04:40I feel like that's a win in and of itself.
04:42I'm ready for these three days to be over.
04:44And I think it's just because I'm so used to always feeling like I look my best.
04:49So it's a little different when I'm going out in public and I don't feel that way.
04:53Especially when I'm doing something as tough as working out.
04:56My boss is calling.
04:57What are you doing?
05:00Alright guys, it is the end of the three day gym makeup challenge.
05:05If you can't tell, I do have my makeup back on and I'm feeling more and more like myself.
05:09Honestly, I found in my experiences that five minutes into it, I forgot that I didn't have my makeup on.
05:13I think all in all, this is a good experience for me.
05:15I think it was nice to just branch out just a tiny bit out of my comfort zone.
05:19At this age in my life and this time in my life, I do kind of have my structure down
05:23and structure set.
05:23I'm just going to have to stick to that same structure.
05:26First of all, it was fun to see how well my makeup holds up at the gym.
05:31I didn't have any really horrible breakouts, so that fear was kind of assuaged.
05:37I think that I've learned that the gym is something that's a super personal sort of part of my routine.
05:44I don't know, I'm not putting on makeup to be looked at at the gym.
05:48That being said, I think I'll definitely follow Emily's routine when I'm going to the gym like in between classes
05:56or if I just need to skip an extra step if I'm coming straight from work.
06:00Thank you guys so much for watching.
06:02I hope you learned something or I hope it encouraged you to maybe try something different that you haven't before.
06:06It's best to figure out what works for you and your health and your body.
06:10That's kind of my big takeaway too.
06:12We'll catch you next time.
06:13Bye guys.
