Nothing dulls the endorphin high of a great workout like realizing we forgot a crucial component of our makeup bag. Whether you're exercising in the morning or evening, if you're getting ready at the gym, there are a few nonnegotiable essentials that you simply can't go without. So you never have to live through another emergency trip to Sephora, we're showing you a few products you should keep stocked in your gym bag.
Schmidt's Deodorant 5-Pc. Travel Size Set
There is no product more necessary post-workout than deodorant. Instead of forgetting your go-to tube and cursing yourself for the rest of the day, have one of the scents in this Schmidt's Deodorant 5-Pc. Travel Size Set ($20) in your bag at all times; this is a natural option that actually works.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
Applying foundation immediately after a workout is never fun — or functional — seeing as you're probably still too sweaty for it to stick (or worse, you put too much on to cover up the redness and look cake-y). Instead, stick to concealer. So many POPSUGAR editors swear by the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30); it covers both darkness and acne and comes in 25 shades.
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser Mini
Bottom line: you need to wash your face after you work out. Period. Even if you're not showering at the gym, pack this trusty Fresh Soy Face Cleanser Mini ($15) in your bag. Your skin will thank you.
Rms Beauty Lip2Cheek
Stick with creamier products post-workout because they blend into skin more naturally and are also easier to touch up if you skipped the cooldown. The gorgeous Rms Beauty Lip2Cheek ($36) does double duty as a blush and lip color, and it comes in nine shades.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir Mini
Most people sweat when they work out, which is why this magical Caudalie Beauty Elixir Mini ($18) feels extra refreshing afterward. Bonus: it smells just like a spa.
Skinny Dip Sugar Pop Makeup Bag
You need something to store all your products. It should be waterproof and ideally see-through so you know where everything is, just like this fun Skinny Dip Sugar Pop Makeup Bag ($24).
Bb. Don't Blow It Fine (H)air Styler
If you decide you don't want to blow-dry your hair, work a little bit of this Bb. Don't Blow It Fine (H)air Styler ($31) through your head after a sweat session for a much more manageable hair day.
Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil
The key reason we love this Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil ($24) is its attached spoolie. Fill in your brows, and then brush them up post-workout. It makes all the difference.
Goody Ouchless Women's Braided Elastics
Do we even have to explain why these Goody Ouchless Women's Braided Elastics ($3, originally $8) are a gym bag necessity?
Sephora Collection Take Me Away Travel Jar Set
Hear us out on this one. We've tried every drugstore portable makeup storage option imaginable, and this is the only storage solution that doesn't leak. The Sephora Collection Take Me Away Travel Jar Set ($8) is tiny enough to fit in any bag but can store a surprising amount of product, so you don't have to lug your holy-grail moisturizer or foundation that weighs 50 pounds.
Tangle Teezer
This is our ultimate gym bag essential: the Tangle Teezer ($12) keeps snarls away.
