6. Maybelline New York Clear Glow Bright Benefit Cream

The Maybelline New York BB cream is perfect if you want to wear a ‘little’ bit of make-up to the gym! Not that we recommend it, but if you’re super self-conscious, stick to a BB cream. You don’t want to be wearing foundation to the gym. Keep in mind, this may start smearing off as you sweat! This is a great option if you have somewhere to be post that workout, it will enhance your skin’s natural glow while giving it light, undetectable coverage.

7. Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Falsies Mascara – Waterproof

If there’s one essential you’ll find in my gym bag, it’s a good mascara. Pick a waterproof mascara if your workouts are intense and make you sweat a lot. The Maybelline Falsies Mascara lengthens and volumises the lashes, and gives your eyes a fresh, more awake look. If you like dramatic eyes, this is your pick. This is the only make-up I personally wear to the gym.

8. Maybelline New York Baby Lips Candy Wow – Cherry

A lip balm with a slight tint will keep your lips hydrated and add a pop of colour to your face. Pick one that’s subtle and not too shiny. This collection has a great selection of shades and a handy throw in your gym bag kinda packaging! This is perfect for adding some colour to your pout post workout too!

Price: ₹ 275. Buy it here.

9. BBLUNT MINI Back To Life Dry Shampoo, For Instant Freshness

Post workout hair can be quite difficult to deal with especially if your choice of workout is more cardio based. Sweat and oil makes its way to your scalp leaving your hair greasy and not pretty! The BBLUNT Dry Shampoo is going to be essential on days when you don’t have the time for a hair wash. It will take away the oil and give your hair instant volume and leave it smelling fresh.
