It really depends on your foundation, you can buy water resistant foundation but if it's the sort that gets one drop of water on it and streaks it, I wouldn't haha.

Nope, it will mostly wash of, but than you still have a few sticky pieces chillin' on your face 😙. That won't look really cute, I can assure you that! Haha.

Depends. are you actually swimming, like laps in a pool? then there is no point, it will completely wash off (I don't even bother washing my face before practice because of that). or are you talking about just kinda splashing around at the beach or in a pool or lake or something? because then you can if you buy water resistant and avoid putting your face in the water.

It's probably not the best for your skin but it won't look cakey or streaky. I'm a swimmer and sometimes I have competitions mid-day while I'm wearing my daily face lol if that makes sense. But my point: sometimes I don't get to take off my make up and it's not like it slides off. The foundations I use are pretty long wearing in a sense and I'm full on diving, sprinting and streamlining. It will fade however and won't feel comfortable on the skin. I'd suggest against it :)

I swam with revlon colourstay on before (15 and insecure, would not recommend its bad for the skin) and as long as you don't touch your face it won't come off. Same with a shower and pat gently to dry and it won't come off.
