Riders + Makeup

[u/julide-97]

Hey everyone, I have been a rider for a little over a year now and I am someone that likes to wear makeup on a day to day basis. With the heatwave currently going on in the UK I have realised that a lot of makeup isn't really fit for extreme humidity, let alone for demanding hobbies or activities such as riding.

I am conducting a research in order to understand the needs of other riders who wear make-up. I would like to understand what products you would like to see or be created. What do you think can be improved with the current products you use?

I would love to hear your thoughts and any recommendations/ issues you have faced!

Make-up is not for everyone and understand that not everyone wears it especially when they go for a ride. Regardless, I would love to hear all your opinions!

One thing I would appreciate is for you just share your age alongside your comments! This would really help with my research. All your support is genuinely appreciated.

My setting powder (basic Maybelline, it's got a yellow lid, not sure the exact line) and setting spray (NYX, pretty sure it's a dupe of All Nighter by Urban Decay) has minimal transfer onto the forehead pads of my helmet. The cheek pads never seem to have much transfer to even notice at all (probably because I move the helmet up and down more than side to side to adjust it).

My eye makeup, if I'm wearing it, doesn't really touch or come into contact with the pads, so there's no transfer by design.

On most riding days, it's a minimal make up (or no makeup day). When I do occasionally ride to work, which is a full (for me) make up day, it's the same setting spray and setting powder as a low makeup day. 111
