Exercising With Makeup

I've been reading a bit about wearing makeup when working out. Basically it's frowned upon. One annoying this is that every article assumes that wearing makeup to the gym is some kind of self esteem related act, like you just "couldn't bear" to go bare. How about convenience? I've discovered it's a bit difficult not to work out with makeup if your only available workout times are between other daily activities where makeup is smiled upon (eg. work ro other professional settings). I find it stereotypical to assume that any woman wearing makeup at the gym got glammed up just to go out, including to the gym. Maybe she just got off work, or is on her break or something. Let's be a bit less judgemental at the gym and find a better solution to the problem (like some kind of non-comedigenic, waterproof makeup?) than just telling women to wash their faces because you don't need makeup at the gym. Does anyone know of some good tips for those times when time is too short to wash and re-apply?
