Do You Really Need Foundation When You’re A Teen?

My makeup routine would’ve gone like this:
1. Wash face and moistorize
2. apply green concealer to any acne/blemishes
3. apply concealer that is the same color as skin over green concealer
4. set the concealer with powder
5. apply a cream blush
6. mascara
7. lipgloss

well im a teen and i wear foundation but i use mineral foundation that doesn’t clog my pours and looks natural. its Maybelle mineral power! but if that works for you i would say go without it, whatever your comfortable with, i have dark marks on a part of my face so i don’t feel comfortable without it but that’s just me
but i think natural skin is beautiful and i wish i could not have to use foundation!
If you feel your routine is time draining, then i would cut back on the green concealer, because its not really needed. Just use a concealer thats the same as your skin color. As for foundation, as long as its mineral, go for it. I use it, (and i am a teen), and i find that my foundation is amazing. I dont really have acne or zits, but it helps mosturize my skin, and after waking up in the morning, applying it makes my face have a more of an awake glow.
Hope I helped. [:
Its not a necessity to wear foundation, since its quite heavy. Using face powder is enough for everyday make-up. It gives enough change. This is from experience: even when you already applied moisturizer, there’s still a possibility that you could result with acne.I suggest that the only time you use foundation are on special occasions.
no one NEEDs foundation but foundation is only really needed when you want to cover up zits or imperfections. You could always use a tinted moisturizer or just concealer to even you out and cover zits. If you have great skin then dont bother with it. Just bring powder so that you dont get shiny and take good care of your skin
not at all. please, for your skins sake, back down on the concealer.
i dont know whyyy you’re using so much concealer but, chances are if its acne, its not going to heal because youre not giving it ANY TIME!! your skin has got to breath and not have crap all over it.
Its okay to use it, but maybe not everyday?
i’m 21 and only use concealer for something really important.
im gonna be 16 soon and i dont use foundation. i do the same thing as you except the green concealer and blush. so i wouldnt recommend foundation if your skins nice and everything. b/c if you change now you might break out and then you’ll start to rely on the foundation to cover the breakouts and basically it will jus go downhill. so i think ur routine is perfect :]
No teenager NEEDS make up. Nobody NEEDS make up. I am 15. I think teenagers just feel more self concious about their appearance than any other age group, and so this is why they load on the slap.

I personally think that people so young shouldn’t have to worry and stress so much about how they look, but every teenager does. And if they don’t they get bullied.
That’s just life, it’s tough but I would say this is why people do it. Although some people are just naturally gorgeous without ever having to wear make up!
I personally don’t think so. If your skin care routine is a good one you won’t need to wear it when you get older either. I am 45 and I never wear foundation as my skin is very smooth and even toned..due to good skincare growing up…okay I’ll admit that it is probably due to good genes also.
No not really. I mean you can use it and I know lots of girls who do, but its better not to use it. You already have a bunch of hormones which can spike up acne, and putting something on top of that can make it worse.
I used to think so as I wore it myself at 12 onwards! Im 14 now, and have stoopped foundation, and I now realise that teens dont need it, but just feel like they do.
I never worn foundation when I was a young teen only the concealer w/ powder. I’m now 24 and barely use foundation.
No don’t think so supposedly wearing make up when your young totally gives you wrinkles when your older no matter all the facial cleansers in the world.
I would opt for none unless it’s something…important.
No your dont really need it x
