I wear foundation whenever I leave the house because I'm ashamed of my acne.

Would you wear foundation all the time if you were me?

Would you classify my acne as mild, moderate, or severe?

Thanks!



Oh and I have really dry skin in the pictures but that isn't a regular thing for me

Your skin tone is really even and nice! If you're self-conscious, maybe just use a little bit of concealer on your spots and that will put you at ease. If my skin tone was as even as yours is, I wouldn't wear foundation.

I still wont leave house without foundation as i have very uneven skintone and ontop of that I cant stand seeing redness on my face so feel i have to cover it, my ultimate goal is to be makeupfree one day my suggestion is do what you feel comfy with. and if you use foundation just make sure it is mineral makeup and oil free as you dont want something that will make skin worse. Im in SA and i use charlie oil free liquid and ontop of that charlie mineral powder and it doesnt break me out as long as i wash off properly at night which i do with the neutrogena foaming cleanser which works WELL to remove make up. buuut on anothernote i must say your skin is not that mad, mild I would say. similar to mine now where i will get red bumps but they turn out to be more scabs after using lotsa BP but some redness remains after and i also get those tiiiiny little bumps in places as you have

I wouldn't feel the need to wear foundation all the time if I was you. Your skin isn't bad. I would say mild-moderate. I've seen people whose face is a mass of red cysts. So sad. I don't think you should worry too much.

Mild-Moderate. Do you not like wearing foundation? If no, than don't! You should never be ashamed of YOU! Otherwise: Find a foundation,blush,eye shadow, anything that makes it fun or enjoyable for you. If wearing foundation/makeup makes you feel more confident and comfortable than by all means do it and have fun. Life is to short to worry about foundation. Put some on and go out and enjoy LIFE! ....and FYI no. No, you look fine without. I've learned as I have gotten older with onset adult acne(and wrinkles) I care way more than I should about what people think about me than they actually do! Meaning: People honestly don't give a crap. I'm the one with the dilemma!

I will add I have the worlds biggest Fever blister on my lip from being so stressed out and tired and life goes on. If they want to stare go ahead. It happens.

I say NO to any facial makeup!

I have not worn any makeup since july and I see improvements on my skin. Not like my skin is clear and I don't get breakouts anymore ( I wish), but I figured out that my makeup was actually clogging my silly pores. So I stop wearing it. Erverything is possible, when there is a will.
