Women Competition makeup?

[FrozenMode]

My first competition is in December and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm curious about the kind of makeup I should do and products to use. I need it to stay on for multiple hours in hot and humid conditions and sweat. And I sweat a lot, so this doesn't help.

Are their any specific products or procedures recommended?

Is this for artistic gymnastics? With the exception of upper optionals, our athletes aren’t allowed to wear makeup at meets and even the older high school girls usually stop at mascara.

If it helps, we’ve found meets are more often on the cold side when they’re at places like convention centers and big halls rather than hot and sweaty, but we aren’t in a humid area. Do the very minimum you need to do to feel confident. If you’re in an area where makeup is more typical, your experiences teammates have probably worked out a good solution and have tips.

What level are you going to be competing?
All I wear is foundation, concealer, a little bit of blush, and mascara.

I usually only wore mascara. Nothing more. If I had a really bad pimple maybe a bit of concealer.

Usually a bit of concealer/mascara since USAG doesnt allow for me to wear much.

Was never aware of the USAG rules on makeup, but I assume it's just nothing artistic like way out-there eye looks and stuff. Personally, my makeup routine was moisturizer, concealer if needed, powder to set said concealer if applied, cream blush, powder blush over that (I promise it doesn't look like too much if you do it right. Blush is always the first to wipe off through humidity for me and setting it with a powder blush works like a charm), highlighter (I only did this occasionally), translucent powder all over, mascara, lip stain, and setting spray. I also used to do glittery eye shadow (not colored though. Just sheer sparkles) for states only. I can recommend products if you want me to.

This also might sound like a lot more makeup than it actually is though. It looks like a lot less and doesn't feel cakey with the right products.

My dd and her teammates did not wear much, if any, makeup to meets or practice. Maybe just a little mascara. This was through their entire high school years. Most of them did wear makeup outside of gymnastics. I don't recall seeing many others at meets wearing much either.

I usually just wear concealer for noticeable pimples, mascara, blush, lip liner and gloss (however, I don't wear a lot of makeup in general)

Don’t wear anything to a meet that you are not used to wearing at practice, otherwise it could be a distraction.

Actually, testing out some meet makeup at practice would be great! God, I remember when I did false lashes for the first time AT A MEET. Awful.

You’re generally not supposed to wear makeup when doing gymnastics. It can rub off on mats, get in your eyes when you sweat, and I’m pretty sure USAG doesn’t like flashy stuff before like level 10/collage/elite
