Morphology

foundationless = foundation (semi-transparent) = foundation + less

Morphologically transparent (foundation + -less) but relies on knowledge of the specialized noun sense 'foundation' meaning makeup, which some learners may not know.

Etymology

Foundationless joins foundation ('base' or 'face makeup') and the ending -less ('without'). So, it simply means 'without a base', which is why we use foundationless to describe someone not wearing foundation makeup.
