Why? I never understood why anyone would wear make-up when running. Sometimes I have been in a hurry and have done it, but then it mixes with sweat and gets in my eyes. So now I just don't wear make-up that much at all.

Good, you need it.

No I don't, and judging from recent race photos, I should.

It depends where I'm running.

If it's a race then I always wear make-up. You never know who you'll see.

If it's just out on a road run or something I won't bother to put it on.

just the mexican girls...

I used to but it didn't get me anywhere.

Neither did running with a pork chop tied around my neck.

Call me

No, but then I don't wear make-up when I'm not running either.

LOL. That was EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read the title of this thread!

A lot of the girls on my college team did. They wore perfume also. You could differentiate them by smell as they went by. You could smell the guys, too, but in a different, less potent (but more virile) sort of way.

I don't put on makeup specifically for a run, but normally when I go out on a run I have already put it on earlier in the day, so I guess I run in makeup frequently.... it doesn't "run and get in your eyes" unless you're wearing TONS or you sweat abnormally much (or maybe if you wear foundation, but I never do).

A bit of a tangent, but the women that I've been attracted to don't wear makeup. Don't say that they do wear makeup, but I just don't see it... my longtime GF does not and has never used makeup. I just don't get the face paint stuff. Pretty faces look good without makeup. Average faces still look average with makeup, but often at the expense of looking tacky, because the makeup is obvious.

Regarding perfume, I can't say that I've ever thought, "Wow, that smells good" when I've encounted a perfume smell. I've always thought, "Whoa, that's a bit strong" or "Ewww". Any guys like the smell of perfume?

I think that most feminine products like perfume and makeup are for women to compete with each other. Most guys would much rather they went without.

Ideally a perfume should complement the natural body odor a women has, not cover it up.

Guys seem to hate contact with perfume or makeup anywhere near their own mouth. Considering the carrier for perfume is derived from the anal glands of various animals, that's not surprising.

Nothing is a bigger turn-off than a women mistakenly wearing a perfume that she thinks is attractive but to a guy reminds him of a cover up scent worn by an aged female relative who can no longer control bodily functions.
