We’ve all seen that girl at the gym. She’s walking on the treadmill or doing bicep curls with one-pound weight while wearing a full face of makeup. We want to poke fun at her, but her cat-eye liner is on point—and maybe it wouldn’t hurt to conceal our insane under-eye shadows before we jump into Zumba class.
