Sweat-proof and long-lasting makeup products are specifically designed to withstand the severities of exercise and remain in place. Athletes’ intense physical activity causes too much sweat, so it is important for them to always use products that won't run off the skin.

Many female athletes have been noticed to wear makeup during their live performances. For example, Natalie Vie, a professional fencer, mentioned during an interview with Refinery29 that she wears sweat-proof makeup products during her performances.

Let's look at some top sweat-proof and long-lasting cosmetics used by athletes.
