Kay Foundation

Mary Kay question. What is the difference between the Full Coverage and Medium Coverage foundation?

My MK lady said it has nothing to do with the amount of coverage but whether your skin is oily or dry. That didn't make sense. I have age spots, acne scars and wrinkles so I like full coverage but she told me to use the medium coverage because my skin is oily. First of all my skin is still oily using this and secondly; I'm not getting adequate coverage having to use a powder throughout the day. Shouldn't I be using the full coverage? I was using the creme-to-powder but she told me because my face is oily I shouldn't use that; I find that at least I got adequate coverage without having to cake powder on all day. All the Mary Kay peeps...help?
Okay, so it sounds like my MK consultant was correct. Maybe I'll stick with the med coverage but use loose powder instead of press powder. Never the less my face is still oily throughout the day. I have to use the blotter sheets for excess oil. I don't use a concealer; maybe that's why I don't get adequate coverage.

Your consultant has told you correctly.

For those who have Normal to Dry skin, they use the Timewise products that have the Pink slash above the word Timewise on both the cleanser and moisturizer (and any other products that have the pink star or slash). The foundation will have a pink like star.

For those who are Combination to Oily, they use the Timewise products that the Purple slash above the word Timewise on both the cleanser and moisturizer (and any other products that have the purple star or slash). The foundation will have a purple like star.

You may want to ask her about the MK Formula 3 products that will help tone down the oil you are experiencing.

The amount of coverage is the same with both the foundations. The one for Full coverage (normal to dry) is going to give you more moisture than the Medium coverage (combination to oily). The medium coverage is designed to give you that right amount of moisture to keep your face from feeling too dry but not enough to make you feel oily.

Here's what I suggest. If you are on the Timewise cleanser and moisturizer for Combination to Oily skin, use less the amount you've been using on the moisturizer. The width of a wood pencil and no longer than one finger joint should be just enough.

I have oily skin, and I also find that using the Day Solution helps cut down the amount of oil. You only need 1 1/2 pumps for your whole face and neck.
