#TheLIST: Sporty Beauty
Thirteen gym-ready hair and makeup ideas to help you go harder, better, faster, stronger.
Just because you're throwing it down in the gym doesn't mean you have to cast your entire beauty routine to the sidelines. In honor of Superbowl 51, we rounded-up 13 hair ideas, gym bag beauty essentials, and overall athletic inspiration to inspire your next sweat session.
Braid Away
Supermodel and Adidas spokeswoman Karlie Kloss relies on classic braided pigtails to keep her hair tamed during a workout (or athletic photoshoot, or both).
Don't Sweat It
There's no workout you could do, except maybe swimming, that would cause this brown-black formula to up and disappear. It lifts and subtly plumps lashes without ever migrating down your face.
Tarte Lifted Sweatproof Mascara, $21, sephora.com.
Work It Out
Pigtails at the gym? It's good enough for Victoria's Secret Angel Josephine Skriver, who runs an Instagram fitness page called @Joja alongside model Jasmine Tookes.
Sport Stick
This hydrating, SPF 30 sunscreen stick can be swiped on anywhere you need protection from UV rays like your eyes, face, lips, and ears.
Fresh Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen SPF 30, $25, sephora.com.
Slicked Back
Model Bella Hadid also happens to be the face of Nike, so she's no stranger to hardcore exercise. Like most women, she prefers to whip her hair into a sleek bun when she's in the gym (use gel or a conditioning oil to do so).
Wipe It Off
Any good face wipe should be able to leave your skin feeling clean without irritation. But these cushiony wipes don't just feel clean, they feel decadent. Pop a whole pack in your gym bag—and then get a second one for your handbag (trust us, you'll want them everywhere you go).
Cleanse By Lauren Napier, $20, TheLine.com.
Girl Curls
When she's not killing it on the court, tennis superstar (and newly engaged) Serena Williams posts personal Instagrams of her other athletic pursuits. With her defined curls on full display, Williams proves that you can comfortably your hair down for certain low impact strength classes—like barre or ballet.
Variety Pack
If you're the kind of woman who prefers to go bare-faced at your workout—we understand. But the least you can do is protect your skin from the sun while you're at it. This set includes a serum, tinted CC Cream, tinted pink balm, and makeup mist—all carrying a high SPF—to give you a bazillion different ways to make sun protection and post-workout beauty easy (we can't say the same about your barre class).
Supergoop! Barre to Bar Beauty Set, $25, sephora.com.
Boxer Braids
Avid boxer Gigi Hadid wore her hair in a sleek ponytail accented by two braids at a recent Reebok event.
Mask Hack
These single-use hair masks should be a staple in your gym bag. But don't just use them once you're in the gym shower. Brush one through your hair pre-workout, root-to-tip, to slick your hair back into a ponytail or bun. Let the mask warm up and soak while you're getting your sweat on to maximize its hair-healing benefits.
Ouai Treatment Masque, $32, sephora.com.
Braided Buns
Athlete and fitness blogger Lindsey Calla is always showing off creative ways to weave your hair for a workout. Here, her two braided buns not only look pulled-together, but they will keep your hair in place through almost any high intensity exercise.
Fearless Foundation
This BB cream can not only replace your everyday base makeup—it should. It has enough coverage to call itself a medium-coverage foundation, plus it's spiked with an impressive (and water resistant) SPF 50+.
Shiseido Sports BB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ WetForce, $30, shiseido.com.
Top It Off
WNBA Star Skylar Diggins shows off just how fun trading your standard black headband for a patterned version can be.
