Makeup artist Ryno Mulder is like a personal trainer for your face. He reveals the
game-changing beauty hacks that will keep you looking great while breaking a sweat.
You may side-eye gals in Grid class wearing top-to-toe colour-coordinated activewear and more makeup than RuPaul. That is until you catch your reflection during kettle-bell swings and wonder if Jane Fonda, doing leg lifts in full glam, was onto something. While we’d never wish for neon leg warmers to make a comeback, a little makeup goes a long way to ensure you look as amped as you feel on the treadmill.
Your mindset
The biggest misconception about long-lasting makeup is the idea that you need to go heavier with your application. Wearing more makeup won’t make it last longer. Strategic placement of budge-resistant products is the key to reaching your beauty goals.
Warm up
Start with a clean face by wiping it with a few drops of hydrating micellar solution on lint-free cotton rounds. Trigger warning – here comes a controversial approach. Skip skincare, skip primer. The more layers you apply, the more likely you are to experience smudging and creasing.
High performance
Multi-tasking makeup is your ultimate flex. Thick foundation can clog pores and cause breakouts, so opt for lightweight formulas with a second-skin feel to keep redness in check. Dot on a cheek and lip tint to give dimension to your features and keep your pout in peak condition.

Sweat proof
Waterproof mascara, indestructible brow gel and a mattifying setting spray are essentials for your gym kit. To avoid raccoon eyes during spin class, slick a single coat of mascara onto your upper lashes only. After misting on your finishing spray, dab your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks with a tissue to absorb excess moisture and ensure a bulletproof look.
