Friday Favourites - Foundation


Favourite Foundation TimeWise® Matte-Wear Liquid Foundation $23.00


What Mary Kay Says:
Special microspheres work all day to absorb oil and control shine without a heavy makeup look or feel. Skin has a matte finish and the appearance of pores is visibly reduced. For combination-to-oily skin.

Why I love it…
You want that High Definition looking skin, great coverage without the look and feel like you have a face full of make up. You want your make up to last; you want to finally have a foundation that matches your skin! Well ladies, this is it! Doing make up professionally for 17 years I know when I have found an awesome product and this is hands down the BEST foundation EVER.

First off, the shade selection is amazing. I work with every skin tone from the palest of pale to the darkest of darks and this line has you covered.  Not many other foundation lines can say that. This has become a quick favorite among women of colour for their amazing coverage for darker skin tones. Professionally, this make up has amazing flawless coverage without looking like you have on a pound of make up like some other very well know popular professional brands. It photographs beautifully saving me countless hours of retouching skin flaws (Thank you Mary Kay!) It lasts extremely well, ask any Bride I worked with that has worn this stuff for more then 12 hours and they’ll all tell you by the end of that super long day, they still have that fresh flawless complexion. Also, working with such a vast clientele I need a product that won’t irritate a person's skin, I have only ever received rave reviews about this stuff from my clients.

Personally, I have used Mary Kay on and off for years. I swear by this foundation. Its coverage is amazing, you only need a little bit but you can build it up if you require more. My skin is so sensitive to new products it tends to break out. I also have rosacea. Mary Kay Time Wise Matte Wear Liquid Foundation covers well and doesn’t irritate my skin. This is the ONLY foundation I have ever used that I can truly say that for.

Tip: Apply your foundation prior to your concealer. If you do it after you’ll just wipe away your concealers benefits. You also don’t need to put foundation over your entire face. Place a small amount under and around your eyes, around your nose and mouth and blend outwards.

Here's a before and after of me...Can't believe I'm putting my bare face out there YIKES!
Now my skin is definitely on the better side due to some fantastic skin care products, some of which I've already talked about here & here, but I still need a little coverage around my nose, mouth and under my eyes. The TimeWise® Matte-Wear Liquid Foundation does just the trick!
