I’ve made it no secret that I loooove Mary Kay skin care AND makeup, so I am always *thrilled* to be able to review their products. I’ve been wearing their Mineral Powder foundation for about two years, so when I heard they were re-vamping their liquid foundations, I didn’t really think anything of it, because I was so happy with the powder. But THEN, I had baby Jonah, and my hormones did some wacky stuff with my skin! It’s a little drier than it was, so I was actually really happy to try the new liquid foundations to give my skin a little more moisture. I tried both the matte and luminous wear foundations and they are both great. The matte is awesome for when you want a really super-flawless look, and they luminous is great for anytime you want a bit of a dewy glow. I like the luminous for every day because I like the subtle glow.
Both foundations hold the color of your blush, bronzer, etc. really well – definitely use LESS color on my face when I’m wearing the liquid vs. the powder because color grabs to the liquid a bit more. And they feel light and wear ALL.DAY.LONG. You do NOT need to worry about re-applying!
Speaking of wearing all day long, another great go-along product with these is the foundation primer. I use this with both the liquid and the powder and it works GREAT. It’s a very lightweight gel that you just smooth over your face before you put your foundation on. It perfects your skin so you have a flawless canvas for your foundation, and it helps extend the foundation’s benefits. I love it!
Finally, there is also a foundation brush to go with these liquids. A brush? YES! I thought it was odd at first but soon I was in love with the brush! I’ve never used one to apply liquid foundation so I was skeptical, but it REALLY blends it so well, and it’s nice not to have foundation-covered fingers when I’m done! Plus, unlike a sponge, it doesn’t absorb the liquid, so you waste less. I gotta say, the brush applies foundation really evenly. It’s an accessory I am definitely going to stick with!
Thanks, Mary Kay, for letting me try these great new products! Can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with next!
