Questions

Get answers to common questions about TimeWise Foundation shades and application.

Which shade matches me?

TimeWise Foundation comes in multiple shades designed to match various skin tones. Test the foundation on your jawline in natural light to find your closest match. If you fall between two shades, choose the one that blends seamlessly with your neck.

Does it work for oily skin?

TimeWise Foundation performs well on oily skin when applied over the proper moisturizer and primer. The formula helps control shine throughout the day without feeling heavy. Many users with oily skin prefer the matte finish option for longer wear.

Can I mix two shades?

Mixing two TimeWise Foundation shades is possible and often necessary for a perfect match. Blend them on the back of your hand before applying to your face. This technique works especially well during seasonal skin tone changes.

How long does it last?

TimeWise Foundation typically lasts eight to ten hours with proper application and setting powder. Longevity depends on your skin type, climate, and daily activities. Reapplication may be needed in high-friction areas like the nose and chin.

Is it waterproof?

TimeWise Foundation is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It holds up well during light sweating and humidity but may require touch-ups during intense exercise or swimming. Use a setting spray for extended water resistance.
