Hi girls! It’s good to be back writing again for all of you. Today’s
review is about my MARYKAY TIMEWISE LIQUID MATTE FOUNDATION and MARY KAY
CONCEALER. I got these babies 2 months ago and I’ve been using them for about a
month now and I’m ready to give my opinion about these gorgeous products. I got
them from Eloisa Co of
Kikaysimaria_store.
MARYKAY is one of the best direct-selling brands available in the
market. The brand was founded at Dallas, Texas, U.S.A and has now over 3.5 million
beauty consultants all over the world catering to over 4 billion Marykay users.
Another fact about this company is they spend millions of money just to conduct
tests to ensure that Mary Kay product meet the highest standards of quality,
safety and performance. So no need to be afraid about this product because we
know we are in a great hand.
To be honest I’m not a fan of any direct-selling brand when it comes to
makeup. Maybe because I don’t see the brand in the mainstream, I don’t think
that they put effort making their products (because they don’t even put effort
to their marketing), plus the most important part - it’s hard choosing your
shade in a catalog because most of them don’t have testers for you to see and
for you to try. But everything changed when
I use the Marykay timewise foundation and concealer this is no joke but the
product blew me off .
Did you know that MaryKay is known for their skincare line? I think the
reason behind the marketing strategy of being a direct-selling brand is because
the brand doesn’t like to spend money on their marketing but instead of
spending money doing tests for their product enhancements which is a brilliant
move because not every brand in the mainstream market are all good. Yes they
may have a great marketing tool but the product is a total flop. ehhhhhh? Well,
not with Marykay.
The Timewise line is one the best selling skincare range from the
MaryKay. The foundation is definitely water based that is why it’s suggested
for oily to combination skin. It is formulated with Vitamin E and a small
amount of peptide to make the skin firmer, younger and healthier. It is stated
that the foundation has a matte finish however I don’t really see that it is a
complete flat matte it is more of a satin finish – it is not dewy it is not
matte it’s more of in between.
I got the shade Ivory 5. – because I got these goodies during summer
time, my skin is a bit tanned with all the beach trips so definitely Ivory 5 is
not gonna work for me. That is why I had to wait for a month to let my skin
peel and get my natural skin color before I tried the foundation. Ivory 5 has
pretty much yellow / warm undertone which I love. It is the same shade with MAC
NC15 (I’m NC20) - a tad bit lighter for me but it does oxidize a little so it
matches my skin after a while.
Packaging is cute as it comes with a pink squeeze tube. It has 29ml of
product and it has buildable coverage, it’s actually full coverage in my
opinion. The foundation has a very light weight feel to it because it is water
based and it is easy to blend out. The foundation can last pretty long without transferring
or smudging – it actually depends on how you prep your skin and how you set the
foundation.
Moving to MaryKay Concealer in beige 2 – I use
this product to conceal my dark circles and to brighten up my eye area however
I don’t use it to conceal and hide blemishes because it doesn’t match my skin colour. The shade is perfect for my skintone as a highlighting concealer. It has extremely yellow tone which is good under the eyes.
MaryKay claims that this concealer is waterproof
and good for all skin types specially sensitive skin including delicate skin
around the eye area. It has a thick creamy formula and it is very pigmented and
can cover easily dark circles. This concealer is a recent favorite of mine
because it doesn’t crease and it is lightweight considering that it is thick formula. I love the squeeze tube
packaging for sanitary purposes and the size is travel friendly.
Let me show you guys some swatches.

Both products work amazing in my experience. They are both fragrance free if you have issues with scented makeups this is for you. I would like to
thank Eloisa for letting me try MaryKay products if you guys are interested to
