"It&amp;#x27;s almost the last beach weekend of summer (sigh)&amp;amp;#8212;and we know we&amp;#x27;re not the only ones getting in some last pre-bikini workouts. Makeup artist Jemma Kidd told Allure what to do to make sure you look good after you leave the gym. Keep your hair up. Before you start sweating, put your hair in a loose braid wrapped into a bun. This will keep your hair off your neck, and if you had a light workout, leave the bun in while you shower&amp;amp;#8212;you&amp;#x27;ll have soft waves when you take your hair down. If you&amp;#x27;re going for full-on cardio, slick it back into a bun. Dry shampoo can also work wonders. (We like Sachajuan&amp;#x27;s Volume Powder.) Save your skin. To prevent pore clogging, take off all your makeup&amp;amp;#8212;we like Garnier Nutritioniste Nutri-Pure Oil-Free Detoxifying Wet Cleansing Towelettes for a quick method. After the sweat session, cold water and non-greasy products like mineral powder foundation can help rid you of any blotches. Don&amp;#x27;t overdo it. You&amp;#x27;ll probably have a nice flush when you emerge back into the world, so there&amp;#x27;s no need for a full face of makeup&amp;amp;#8212;a little mascara (Cover Girl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara), a tinted lip balm, and a neutral shade of eyeshadow should be more than enough to look polished. --Daisy Shaw, Assistant Editor Here are some suggestions to help your post-workout polish: More Bare Escentuals...
