I have officially moved Lancome off the top spot of my foundation ranking and in it's place have put Mary Kay Time Wise matte-wear. It is actually amazing. For a grease ball, such as myself, this stuff stays amazingly well. It also remains very matte and requires little in the way of touch ups.
My colour is Ivory 4. It blends beautifully and I think it's a great match.
Here is a before and after shot for you. (The extreme colour difference is because we took the before picture inside, with crappy lighting, and then realized that it was a beautiful day outside and took the after-shot). If you can mentally blend the two pictures together I am probably somewhere in the middle for actual skin-tone. One day I swear I will figure out good lighting for makeup pictures!
My sister did my makeup here so we could enter a Mary Kay contest thing. . . we didn't win.
My favourite thing about this foundation is that it has great coverage. If I don't feel like wearing concealer an extra swipe of this under my eyes and over any blemishes and I am good to go.
In the picture below I am wearing just the Matte- Wear on the left and nothing on the right. This picture is not retouched.
I think this is a pretty good example of how well it covers. I have redness issues and it covers them with ease.
I honestly don't think I have any negative things to say about this foundation. It blends well, covers well, stays amazingly and is reasonably priced ($23 CAD).
Here is a stock photo since I don't feel like digging out my camera to take my own.

You have such great skin! I love the look of the foundation, it covers well without looking too heavy. I think it really suits you. My friend also sells Mary Kay, and I bought the satin lips and satin hands from her. So far so good!
