Whether hot or cold, in the air or on the ground, we all sweat like crazy in yoga class, so we do recommend you go make-up-free to give your pores a chance to sweat those toxins out. But if you really insist, the first rule to avoid a facial meltdown is to say no to foundation. A caked-up face will cause pimples, blackheads and rashes. Instead, stick to a light product like tinted moisturizer, and if you are troubled with dark spots or acne scars, apply a thin layer of concealer to those areas. We recommend Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (B1,700) and MAC Studio Finish SPF35 Concealer (B850) for light and natural coverage. For blush, you might want to use a product that’s super water-resistant like Benefit’s Benetint (B1,250) before

powdering up with Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Powder (B1,415) for a soft finish. Also, don’t go overboard with the eyes; just one or two coats of waterproof mascara will do. Try Lancôme Hypnôse Waterproof Custom Volume Mascara (B1,200) and then complete your yoga look with Carmex Everyday Lip Balm (B125) to give your lips a clear, silky touch.

Workout trends come and go, but there’s nothing quite like hitting the gym, namely treadmills, crosstrainers or weight training. These excercises might not get you as sweaty as yoga or boxing, but we suggest you still stick to the less-is-more principle.

Start with the basics then apply Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF 30 (B1,300) all over your face and concealer on certain

areas. Dab Nars The Multiple (B1,700) on your cheeks (the product’s slight shimmer will give you a nice post-workout glow) and

finish with Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (B1,590). Perfect the look with thin strokes of smudge-proof Etude Oh My Line Eyeliner (B495) and MAC Zoom Waterfast Lash Mascara (B850). For naturally healthy lips we pick Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm Hibiscus or Pink Blossom (B590) which is a nice neutral pink.

If you take up boxing or rock climbing, two of the hottest workout trends at the moment, chances are you’ll meet a lot more buff and fit guys than you would in yoga class. Still, we must insist on the no-makeup-to-work-out principle, but should you feel that the boxing ring or artificial cliff is the perfect place to meet Mr. Right, a no-make-up make-up look might come in handy. After applying your usual skincare and primer, try YSL CC Creme Contour Corrector (B2,500) which comes in three different shades to even out your skin tone and give it a little glow. Hide those dark spots with concealer and give your cheeks a healthy flush with Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks (B1,100) before setting the products with MAC Loose Powder Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder (B1,100). For the eyes, draw a thin line of Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner and apply Maybelline Volum’ Express Turbo Boost Mascara (B199). Complete the look with Vaseline Lip Therapy Pocket Size (B199) for your lips.
