Whether you're braving the gym in the wee morning hours or hitting the treadmill after work, you may not have time to 'put your face on' in the same way you do for work or going out. While some women do take the time to layer on the foundation, eye makeup and loose powder to look picture-perfect, your skin may suffer under the sweat-fest, leaving you with clumpy makeup and putting you at risk for breakouts. So how do you find a healthy balance?

The best way to make your beauty routine gym-ready is to stick with lightweight tinted moisturizers, a touch of eyeliner and mascara, and a little lip gloss. That's all it really takes to put together a semi-pulled-together look that will keep your skin fresh and keep you looking great throughout the workout.

A lightweight tinted moisturizer will add a touch of color to your skin without giving you the caked-on effect under the hot sun or in the heat of the fitness room. Moisturizer won't melt and drip off your face while you sweat, but will evaporate instead. The worst thing that can happen is it will turn glossy or disappear from your face by the end of your workout session.

Waterproof eyeliner and waterproof mascara are your stand-bys for dressing up those peepers before heading to the gym. You can enhance your eyes without going overboard with a single sweep of black eyeliner and a few coats of mascara. As long as you're wearing the waterproof kind, you can get away with sitting in the sauna and working out without worrying about 'raccoon eyes'.

The easiest way to add shine and color to those lips is to ditch the heavy lipstick and stick with a lightweight lip gloss. Choose one with SPF 15 or above if you plan to be outdoors, since you'll need the extra protection from the sun's rays. A little lip gloss will help you create that au naturel look. Try a gloss with a little sparkle and lip-plumping action for a glamorous touch.

Going to the gym with too much makeup on can sabotage your skin and make you look less than pulled-together after the workout session. Stick with the basics to enhance your best features and look forward to your workout.

If you're wearing eye makeup at the beach, at the pool, or all day long during your weekend getaway this summer, making sure it stays put can be a major challenge. The hot sun and sweat can make your makeup disappear in no time flat, but there are some ways to make sure your favorite eye shadow, liner and mascara stay on your face for the long haul. Here's how to make your eye makeup stick for hours and hours:

1. Use a makeup primer on your eyelids. Makeup gurus do this all the time for models and actresses who will be under a hot light for long periods of time. A makeup primer will help the eyeshadow stay in place, and reduces the risk of creasing. Just a slight dab of this on your eyelids is all it takes to create a smooth surface for your shadow du jour.

2. Wear waterproof eyeliner. Waterproof eyeliner will help you create those cat eyes with ease, so you don't have to worry about touch-ups all day long. This is especially important when you're going to be at the beach for the day and won't have access to your beauty bag for hours. Stock up on this summer essential so you're only putting your eyeliner on once!

3. Use waterproof mascara. Waterproof mascara will also stay in place rain or shine, and is an absolute necessity if you plan to hit the water this season. Apply a few generous coats on both your upper and lower lashes for a fresh and sassy look that will stick with you all day long.

4. Use Vaseline to apply your shadow. Petroleum jelly will make your powdered shadow turn into a smooth, lightweight paste that simply won't budge when it's dry. Dab a little Vaseline onto a q-tip and mix it with some shadow for a no-fuss application.

5. Blowdry your makeup before going out. Give your makeup a chance to 'set' by running a blowdryer about a foot away from your face before you head outdoors. This will keep the powders and liner a chance to bind to your skin.

Making sure your eye makeup stays in place can be a summer challenge, but there are some tricks you can use to make it stick. Grab that Vaseline and waterproof mascara, and enjoy your makeover for the entire day!
