Lookin' Good while Participating in Sporting Activities

Last night I had a conversation about women who wear makeup while participating in sports.

I have no shame in saying that I have put on makeup prior to working out
(note: Santa Monica Equinox is a great place to meet people and spot celebs),
playing soccer (coed that is) and skiing. I have done this admittedly,
because I would be in contact with others, specifically those of the opposite
sex.

Nevertheless it if far more common for me NOT to put on makeup before a sports
game than to put it on. My Mother on the other hand, who has remarked in the
past that a particular lip gloss of mine would be great before going to the
gym, clearly thinks otherwise. She always wears makeup before tennis.

So my question is, do we as women put on makeup before a game, workout etc.,
because we want to look good in public or because it makes us feel more
confident and therefore we play better?

I say both!
