As for other people, I deplore foundation as a concept. It completely ruins your face... my mum's pores are visible from 10 feet away, and the texture of her skin is like that of a leather handbag. It's gross. I prefer the well-taken-care-of look. Clean, healthy, and untouched.
Actually, it depends on the kind of foundation you use. It's best to use foundation that is of high quality and is talc free and preferably mineral based, and it won't damage your skin. Also, age of makeup has a lot to do with how it affects your skin, too. A common mistake most people do is that they don't replace their makeup every few months, and their continued use of the old product starts to worsen their complexion. Also, some people are notorious for sleeping in their foundation and not washing it off before they go to bed, which takes an even bigger toll on their skin and can cause wrinkles and blemishes to form quickly. I use foundation every now and then and I always follow these rules, and my skin is perfectly fine. :)
