Obv. it's not bad to NOT wear foundation. It's beneficial for the skin. :) I know there's a few girls here who also never wear foundation. So I don't think you're alone.
I personally can't do this because I have acne-prone skin with both marks & acne, so the least I wear is tinted moisturizer. >_<

A lot of times I like to skip foundation, 1, because it saves time and 2, because I like to let my skin breath. Most times it's just some concealer under the eyes and some powder to control shine.

It's not a bad thing, If you have good skin show it off! don't cover it up. 

You're definitely not the only one! I know a few people who do not wear foundation (but do wear eye makeup) as well.

Your mom sounds the opposite of mine, though. I do wear foundation, but I stick to mineral foundation that is very light coverage. She is constantly asking me if I'm wearing makeup because she can't "see" it...I don't think she quite understands that (with a good foundation) you aren't supposed to see it. haha

I wish I could say this! My skin needs foundation desperately Haha!

I almost NEVER wear foundation either! I will moisturize everyday and 4 times a week opt for a tinted moisturizer, but other than that I use foundation only for special occasions where a lot of photos are going to be taken :) You're definitely not the only one, consider yourself blessed to have beautiful enough skin to not need it! xox

for me I never really use makeup, only when I will have like some kind of photos, if not the only thing I'd use is pressed powder...
concealer too, but I have this weird bone structure around my eyes, that is weird I dunno how to explain it, but I prefer to use a corrector better x_x
other than that how I take care of my skin is rather simple, I shower always at night and I use a scrub thingi, with neutrogena soap, and my toner :D

I have a friend who does the same thing eyemakeup, blush, and lip product. I think thats awesome you can go without foundation. Means you have really amazing skin. The only reason I wear it everyday is to even out my skin because some parts are redder than others.

I didn't start using foundation until I was about 29 years old because my skin was flawless and I would always get ask if I was wearing makeup even though I wasnt'. There is nothing wrong with not wearing foundation, I say don't use it if you don't need it.

Back in the day I probably could have gotten away with not wearing foundation, but at 35...no way! LOL!

I'm jealous of all you ladies who can go without foundation. That is great! Your skin is probably every appreciative of that! HA!!

No, you are not the only one who doesn't wear foundation. I know several people who wear nothing or very light mineral makeup.

Jackee, I know as I got older my skin started to change which made me start wearing foundation. I feel my skin is still nice and I don't have to wear it but its great to have that even skin look. 

Some women are so lucky! I need to have coverage all the time :( I have discolorations and acne scars. Even blackheads! I literally have a foundation wardrobe for every occasion. From light to heavy coverage!

Thank you Edith! I know when I was coming up I never had issues with my skin but once I started going into my 30's my skin also started to become senstive and I started dealing with breakouts.Thank goodness things have gotten better! I do like to use a little foundation or tinted moisturizer for a more even appearance. I guess all the skin drama comes with us getting younger, lol!

Your blessed to not have to wear foundation and your skin looks flawless : )

You're not the only one :) I almost never wear foundation, and if I need a bit of cover up I use a sheer tinted moisturizer. If I only have a blemish or two I will use just concealer. Recently I broke out in hives though, so I have been using tinted moisturizer. Beauties do not take your clear skin for granted! I had pretty clear skin and got a rash/hives (whatever it is) from trying to get rid of a few blemishes. Next time I am just going to use home-made masks!

I wish I had the skin to NOT wear foundation! How fortunate you are! I wear foundation and have to powder, because my T-Zone is the first area to get shiny mid-day. If given the chance, I'd wear just a tinted moisturizer, but my very fair skin requires cover-up, as discoloration is way more apparent on the pale. lol.

Makeup is about art and the way you express yourself and feel confident; you are NOT wrong for choosing not to wear foundation.

Edith - Yeah, I now I just have old marks on my face with the occasional break out, so it's nothing makeup can't hide. But I still have VERY acne prone skin! Foundation is a must for me! lol & Thank you! <333

@Jackee - No! I REFUSE to believe you're 35. You're GORGEOUS!

I'm the same, I don't wear it. Every now & then but rarely. You have to do what suits you best & what makes you feel comfortable in your day x
