The makeup itself is bad for your skin, and the cleansers used to get it all off your face every day is also bad for your skin. It`s a lose-lose situation. Girls start wearing makeup because they THINK they need it to look "more adult", and then after a year or two of it really NEED the makeup because their skin starts to get crappy. 10 years of makeup, and it`s pretty much impossible to get back to good skin.
I always find it funny as women around me all wear makeup to make themselves look younger (they`re 25~35), but end up just looking like older women trying to make themselves look younger. :P
People ALWAYS guess that I`m much younger than I am because I pretty much never wear any makeup. (Limited to events where no makeup would be flat out weird, like a wedding, etc.)
Seriously, makeup screws your skin up in the long term and the cleansers to take it off increase skin ageing and wrinkles. I am so so very glad that I didn`t start wearing makeup now that I see all the girls I went to school with who have faces they`re terrified to show without a good coating to cover the blemishes and wrinkles.

I depends on what products you use. Not all products will make your skin look horrible. It's also not only about cleansing your skin after makeup, but about making sure that it has the best opportunity to get over the little 'makeup attack' you exposed it to. If you cleanse your face with a mild makeup remover, wash after with a mild facial soap and then finish off with a moisturizer - then it's no problem really. I'd say it's much worse for those who DON'T remove their makeup every day.
