Foundation.

For a long time there has been something bothering me. People seem to have this strong opinion about people wearing foundation. Well, to that I say, Its none of your business what other people do! If its looks bad, fine, state your opinion. But, don't make it seem to be such a bad thing for other people to do it. It really gets me that most of the people who say negative things about it are people with flawless skin! You don't have a reason to wear it so of course your going to look down on people who do, but you shouldn't. I have been struggling with acne scars for years. I've been to the dermatologist, tried hundreds of products, and they just don't go away. On top of that, there are hundreds of things I can't use because my skin will break out. So when I became of make-up wearing age I was interested in covering the thing that bothered me most. People do it ALL the time in other aspects of their lives. No one complains about people covering their real hair with weave or their real nails with acrylic. Now in the beginning I would use heavier stuff from MAC, for a while using their liquid foundations and I admit, that was a bit much. But as I became more educated on make-up and more interested in the art itself I started using just a light mineralize powder-type foundation and I see nothing wrong with that! If there is something that makes you happy and makes you feel happy about yourself and it doesn't look bad, then do it! After being faithful to MAC I've recently switched to Bare Escentuals foundation. Its natural and my skin does actually do better with it. Its very light and it only calls for a little bit. It's def a keeper. If someone has a problem with that then oh well. The point of this is, just be mindful of the things you say because you can be putting someone down, don't generalize, everyone has their own reasons for the decisions they make in their lives.
