Eye make up and cycling

[rebeccaC]

I was born with the features I was supposed to have and I’m fine with that…..besides that I don’t want the extra weight on my climbs

I love this reply. I think I shall use it always. I rarely wear makeup anyway. Now I have something to say!

Did you hear about the rider who uses carbonated water on the rides. It weighs less. LOL

I wear eye make up for work every day, and generally on the weekends, unless I am getting up and riding, or doing some other sport first. If I ride after work, etc. I ride with the eye makeup on. In other words, if I have it on already, it's there when I ride, but if I get up and go, then I just wear lip gloss. I never wear eyeliner, though, just shadow and mascara. I don't have a problem with it irritating me or running... the mascara is waterproof. I wear contacts, so goopy eye makeup is not for me.

I never wear any make-up for any reason to start with.
RebeccaC, I love your comment. I'm going to have to remember that.

This comes close to my answer, too. But I don't wear waterproof mascara. Occasionally my eyes will water enough during a post-work ride that I will look a bit raccoonish by the time I finish, but by then it's dark out and I'm going straight home so I don't worry about it.

(Also I've never found a lip gloss I like. I'm a lip balm person. I especially like the stuff that LL Bean sells in their retail store. I think it's made with olive oil, and it comes in scents like orange or cranberry.)

I don't own any make-up.

I like RebeccaC's comment too...the only time I wear any is for formal occasions where it would really look out of place if I didn't. Otherwise, it's just not my cup of tea.

I LOVE all these replies!!! I don't wear make except for a special occasion and now I don't feel so much different than some of the people I like to hang out with . . . bicycle riders.

Edit: I would rather spend the $$$ I don't spend on make up on bicycle accessories.

I usually wear makeup each day (at least on workdays), but I remove it if I'm going riding. During rides, it's just sunscreen/lip balm.

I never wear makeup because I just personally have no use for it. However, I couldn't care one way or another rather others wear it. I'm just not one to ask about it. Heck I'm also hate wearing skirts or dresses and will wear slacks if I can get away with it. I wore shorts under my own wedding gown because I hate dress/skirts that much. The last time I basically had to wear a skirt I wore a skort instead. But that's just me, I'm completely and totally uncomfortable in dresses and skirts and can't wear heels. Now perfume is a major issue as I very allergic to it and cannot be around it. (TrekDianna it's not just you, there are others of us out here with issues with perfume.)

I don't actually own makeup beyond lip gloss, so no.
