Do I have to use foundation everyday?

"Do I have to use foundation everyday?"


This is a question that has been sitting with me for the past few years.
When I was in school, I always thought wearing foundation clogged
your pores and aged your face quicker. Fortunately for me, I didn't
have acne and didn't fake tan either. My skin for the most part has 
been clear for 90% of my life, and the only time I really get acne is 
when I use certain beauty products. 




Over the past couple of years I had been using different types of foundations to help with the paleness I developed on my face. I don't find I need to use it every day, and by putting it in my makeup tutorials I would be a bit of a hypocrite. I've done a couple tutorial's where I show exactly how I apply my foundation, concealer, and illuminator (highlighting). Instead of showing my viewers the long drawn out process of applying foundation/concealer, I'd rather skip to the contouring/blush/bronzer part of my makeup 
tutorials. 







Some Beauty Guru's who claim other Youtubers need to do foundation and concealer steps in each makeup tutorial videos or they won't be watched. Does your routine really differ so much from just changing the brand of the products that you have to do this? I don't think so. I aim to make my content as real and genuine as possible. Each channel is unique, just as each one of our styles is as well. So I will have some looks that have barely any foundation to begin with, to looks that are completely glam and thoroughly 
explained.

What I've Noticed About Beauty Guru's Lately


Now, Before I get into the theme of this post I don't want to offend anyone 

or seem judgey. These are merely my observations and opinions.


I am not opposed to 'some' cosmetic surgery, but it seems this is
happening to women that are younger than ever. I get there may be
something you are not happy with on your body, and some of you
have the 'guts' to do something about it. It's just not really for me,
and having someone you look at as a strong self-image get lip fillers
at the age of 18 seems a bit messed up. I'm fully aware that Kylie
Jenner has had a huge influence on both the illusion of having big
full lips as well as actual lip injections.

I've noticed so many big name YouTuber Beauty Vloggers between ages
18-25 getting lip injections, 
and making vlogs about their experience. The

crazy part is they don't need it at all. I think it's being treated as casually 
as going to the salon to get your nails done, and I don't think it should be
the norm for women so young. The next thing I wanted to mention is the
getting your eyebrows tattooed. This is another beauty trend that has grown 
to be as normal as getting lip fillers. Why would you want have one style
that is permanent??

Is this an issue of them lacking confidence? Or does it affect their daily 
lives so much so that they have to have these procedures done to 
make their lives easier in some way? To me, when I think of women
having either procedure done, the age would be 35+. Again, I respect
personal choices and no I am not one of those 'Natural Only' women. 
I would just like to understand the thought process behind these decisions.
