Why doesn't my mom want me to use foundation?

Foundation can clog pores and make your complexion worse. I’ve heard concerns that foundation is a vicious circle; since it clogs pores it can make your complexion worse increasing the need to use foundation. Unless you are an actress or appearing on TV a 13 year-olds shouldn’t need makeup.

There are lots of reasons your mom may be advising you to avoid using foundation. The main reason I would advise a person to avoid using foundation would be if they really just don’t need it. If your skin is young and pretty, only use the minimal amount of any makeup to enhance your beauty. Overuse or applying foundation will age your skin quicker. It is more important to make sure you take good care of your skin. You should clean and moisturize your skin every day. Use a moisturizer that contains sunscreen if you can tolerate it. If you have a tendency to have acne, foundation can irritate breakouts making them more frequent or more severe. Concentrate on taking excellent care of your skin and foundation will never be a necessity for you.

well personaly i like the natural look. and i think if you want to use it you should tell ur mom why!!

My mom told me the same thing and I asked her why and she says because it make you break out sometimes and is not good for your skin.But if you must have it try using water based or oil free,it won’t do damage to skin.

Why do you need to use foundation? from your pictures you dont seem to have discolored skin, which is the only purpose of foundation

if anything where a light powder or concealer. dont get into foundation cuz once ur in its like an addiction its hard to stop, plus over time it makes ur skin more red around ur nose, mouth and under eyes and causes balckheads and pimples for people more prone to them. not worth it. it took me like 2 years to just go to a light powder. u think ur ugly wen u dont wear it so u’l even start wearin it around the house and by urslef. just my opinion :)

maybe because you are still young and she is just protecting your skin. Using foundation might clog pores and be a cause of pimples, etc on your face. :))more beauty and fashion tips, try visiting http://funadvice.com/r/3nimpqd9q8 :)) by the way, i don’t think you need to use foundation, i check out your picture and i think you had already a good complexion :))

speaking from a moms point of view, it could be foundation can cause break outs. it also makes you look older than you are sometimes. she probably thinks you look very pretty without it.
