I am embarrassed because sometimes I have to wear makeup to the gym. Are people judging me? F/25/323->132/2 years

I work in the beauty industry and go to the gym after I’m off of work. I have to wear a full face of makeup to work due to my profession. I have very sensitive skin and my face washes are prescription. I can not put any other skincare on my face. I can only use it 2x a day or I get dry skin and a rash, it’s very harsh. I’m new to working out, I’m still embarrassed to be at the gym anyways because of body dysmorphia. I feel like I look like an idiot going in with full eyeliner/eyelashes etc. and although people say that other people don’t look at you at the gym, we all know that isn’t true. I’ve been going 5x a week but I’m really embarrassed and thinking of just going on weekends when I don’t work but I want to go more than that. Do people actually care or is it in my head? I don’t like record myself or anything, I wear my wedding ring, I keep my head down as much as possible and I do my workouts to the best of my ability. Please help me get over this so I don’t stop going. Added photo of my weight loss journey for context as to why I’m so embarrassed/ what kind of makeup I wear. (Disclaimer I got a WLS in the past to become fertile, not all natural.) since this has photos I’m tagging progress just to be safe.

First off way to go and secondly, on the contrary! I see women wearing makeup at the gym and I’m like hell yeah. Sometimes I will put on makeup JUST to go to the gym because it makes me feel put together and ready to crush it. You do you, if for some reason anybody is judging you it’s only because they’re insecure about themselves.
