So I know that with indulgences you can offer them (depending on which kind) for others or for yourself.

But with Marian consecration, you’re kind of giving all of the “benefits” (so to speak) of your good works to Mary to do with as she pleases.

So I am wondering, are you still able to complete indulgences for your intended purpose? Or do the benefits of those belong to Mary as well? I have not been able to find this addressed.

I hope that made sense. Thank you.

Indulgences can only be made for you , or for the dead - in Purgatory.
Indulgences can’t be made for others living. - Plenary or Partial Indulgences

Consecrating to Blessed Virgin Mary , or giving ourselves to her safekeeping and then becoming part of her prayer army ( Rosary army) on earth still means we can do works for other intentions.

For example we pray Reparation prayers to God for the blasphemy, insults and sacrilege to Jesus. The Holy Face devotion and the Angel of Fatima Prayers , and of course, the most well known - the Divine Mercy Devotion are all Reparation or forgiveness / mercy based.
I also think of prayer or devotion to St Joseph, the Blessed Virgin’s Spouse. Prayers to this powerful Saint include protection and petitions. And offering good works to St Joseph’s area of specialty.
We offer penance and sacrifice in the name of all these prayer intentions.

Then there is The Lord’s Prayer where we pray to God and tell God we forgive others.
