Dual Coverage Powder

Mary Kay dual coverage powder?

Hi all- I wore Mary Kay foundation and the (Timewise, I think) dual-coverage pressed powder for a while and then just ran out and never bothered to get more. It works best for my skin type after trying dozens of different makeups. My question is, how do I know which color powder I have? I wear the Beige 305 foundation. The pressed powder I have has the following stamped underneath it:400/8928/CB05. Does that mean I should buy the Beige 400 pressed powder?

Thanks!
I would assume there are tons of MK representatives on here.... which is why I'm asking here instead of making phone calls and being sold more makeup...jeez....

I always wonder why people answer questions to which they do not know the answers...

I am a Mary Kay Consultant. The Timewise Dual-Coverage powder foundation you have is Beige400 as you indicated by the number stamped on the bottom. The 400 is the product color code, the 8928 is a item code number and the CB05 is called a day code for identifcation (if a product is returned, for example).
As for the Beige 305 that is a MaryKay liquid foundation in either Medium-coverage or Full-coverage style. Each product has a different number stamped on it or on the box/package it came in.
If you want more powder get the Beige400.

Which powder foundation is the best?

I am looking for a drugstore powder foundation that gives great coverage. Which one would you recommend? Also I have oily skin.

You should deff. get Maybelline new york mineral power natural perfecting powder foundation, I use it, and I also tend to have oily skin as well. It stays on for a long time and & I love it! I got mine from wal-mart. I can't remember the price but it's no more then 6 dollars.

Hope I helped (:

How well does powder foundation cover, and stay looking good all day?

I bought that Revlon powder foundation stuff, the one that's supposed to stay put all day. I couldn't even tell I put it on my face. I'm just wondering if all powder foundations are like that, or if I just picked a bad one? I need decent coverage, and I just don't see how a powder could do that. I kind of want to try the L'Oreal one, the bare natural one. But I don't want to waste my money.. Any help? :-] Thanks!

Basically, the better quality of product you want - the more money your going to have to spend, but if you pick a good brand like M.A.C, Bobbi Brown, Napolean, Urban Decay, etc. your going to get your money's worth quality-wise.

Revlon isn't the best brand, but it will do the job if you use it correctly. Firstly: if you need coverage - you need a liquid base before applying the powder.

Look for a liquid foundation, something that matches your skin tone (IMPORTANT!) check out the websites for the above listed brands and take a look at some of their products and see whats best for you.

Depending on what your trying to cover - a concealer may be a good investment also (same as above applies for concealer).

Basically your process should be.

Prime - Moisturising your skin before the application of make-up to ensure it applies smoothly, consistently and you have a nice clean fresh face. You can do this with the Primer product of your choice or just a basic moisturiser product will do just fine.

Conceal - It's totally up to you which concealer products you use. You can use liquid, matte, stick, gel - whatever works for you. There are also color correction concealers:
Yellow: removes darkness, sun damage and sun spots/freckles.
Green: removes skin redness
Pink: removes yellow undertones to the skin - gives you a radient pinkish glow.

Foundation - Like concealer, your chosen foundation type is totally up to you, theres a big range. After concealer, remember not to apply too much foundation as you should have a pretty good coverage already, this is just for finishing spots here and there and making sure your skin tone is consistent.

Powder - Powder is essentially used to set all of the make-up you've just applied, otherwise it will erode and run off the face. Don't apply too much, just a tiny layer which has been dabbed on a powder brush all over the face.

After this you should have a medium to high coverage, depending on the level of your application. Unfortunately a powder alone will not suffice. Make-up can be expensive but the rewards are well worth it.

Good luck. If you need help with application of make-up just search youtube for some foundation tutorials.
