Mary Kay Timewise Matte 3D Foundation كريم أساس غير لامع

Thank you for your review.

I want to start by saying that I bought this product for my makeup. However, I still want to leave a review because there is nothing left from the old version except the name. The texture is quite dry on the skin and the coverage is average, around 3 out of 5. It looks natural and pretty, and it feels lightweight as a foundation. However, the shade is terrible. It initially appears light, but then oxidizes to a rusty garage color, which is definitely not cool.

I have been using Mary Kay foundation for about 15 years now, and one tube lasts me around 3-4 years. I am very satisfied with it, so I didn't even risk changing to another brand. Since the last time I purchased, they had a different line, and I had the shade beige 3. I found a conversion chart for the new line, and it said my shade would correspond to beige C 110 from the options provided. That's what I ordered, specifically the matte version. And I didn't make a mistake, the shade matches perfectly, it applies just as precisely as before, and it conceals and adjusts to the skin flawlessly without standing out. I am very happy that even during difficult times, I can still order my favorite product. Many of my acquaintances who used to sell this brand stopped, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find this shade anywhere. Thank you, Mary Kay!

"My best foundation! I am always asked what I use because it applies so perfectly! I have been using it for 5 years and it is perfect for my combination skin with oily shine. The shade Ivory #160 is like my second skin! I am very fair. It's a shame that the price has increased so much."

The previous version was my favorite, but this updated one is a complete failure!
I have dry/normal skin, but I do get breakouts.
I used it specifically on problem areas, it was super economical, it lasted almost the whole day, and I never ran out of product before the expiration date. I always only used this for full coverage.
I was skeptical about the update (why update something that was already great?) and it was not in vain. It's a complete disaster.
The application is strange, it covers like a BB cream, layering does nothing except create a mask-like effect, I have to find a new shade because it doesn't match the old ones, and it disappears from my face throughout the day. The only plus is that it doesn't oxidize. I threw it away after a week of struggling with it... I was very disappointed. And I had been using it for over 10 years...
I bought the Too Faced concealer for full coverage, it wasn't cheap, but it's okay.

Based on the reviews, I wanted to buy this product, but I have a huge question: how do I choose the right shade? There seem to be some odd undertones...

The entire Time Wise series is amazing... but this foundation occupies a special place among other products... Its uniqueness lies in its ability to MOISTURIZE the skin, so it sits on the skin PERFECTLY, allowing the face to breathe and providing a natural tone coverage... It does not leave any excess shine on the skin... This is a superb foundation for those with dry skin... It worked wonderfully for me and I wish the same for you too)

The foundation shade is nice and looks very beautiful on the face. However, it caused an allergic reaction all over my face, resulting in red rashes and itchiness.

Perfect.
The choice of foundation is a very personal matter, but I have tried many different ones and suddenly a friend recommended this one to me - so I ordered it. At first, I absolutely didn't like it and it just sat in my makeup bag, but then when my usual foundation unexpectedly ran out, I decided to give this one a second chance.
You have to UNDERSTAND how it behaves, you need to apply it sparingly and quickly with your fingers, as if tapping it into the skin, and then it sets perfectly.
It doesn't clog pores, doesn't create a mask-like effect, you can apply it in two thin layers and it will be fine. And it almost feels like you're not wearing any foundation at all. With this foundation, I don't even use a highlighter because it gives a natural glow, especially if applied on an aloe base or with a damp sponge. The only downside is that you still need to use concealer to cover specific "imperfections" because it doesn't really camouflage them, but the texture is light, weightless, and truly adapts to the skin tone - I don't know how this magic works at all!

A matte foundation for oily or combination skin, simply a lifesaver. I have been using it repeatedly and I am extremely satisfied. Throughout the day, my skin doesn't shine, even with +42 degrees heat outside. I highly recommend it for those with oily or combination skin.
