Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation Review

I used this foundation for years. Has good coverage and lasts most of the day. I was using a colour that unfortunately they stopped making and were not supplying to Farmers anymore, so I have reluctantly just changed to another brand.

This just didn't feel right on me. I thought the colour was ok when I tried it in the shop but it just wasn't right and I struggled to get nice even coverage without getting a terrible jawline mark like I was wearing a mask. Maybe if I was a makeup artist I could make it work better, but I found myself applying more to get nicer coverage and then washing it all off and starting again. Just plain frustrating. I don't mind the dewier finish but this was more oily I thought. Maybe it just didn't work with my skin. I think perhaps if you had perfect skin and not combination then it might be right for you. The price is very reasonable so may be worth a go for some people but I won't be buying again.

I found this quite a light foundation, it went on well and blended well, but I prefer full coverage matte long lasting, so if you like a light dewy natural foundation then it would be great. It's a middle of the range foundation, I'd prefer to pay a bit more and get a more long lasting foundation as it doesn't last the day. It also goes a bit too shiny for me, I think it's an English brand and would be fine in cold climates or winter but in summer it disappears quickly.

I brought this one time as I thought it might be good to wear at the gym or exercising. I was draw to it as it states long lasting, however I didn’t find it lasted a great amount of time and it sweated off very quickly. I found this to be quite disappointing considering I was lead to believe it would last. The coverage was fairly light which I was also not so pleased about either. It went on nicely had a good texture and didn’t go blotchy like others have done when I’ve been exercising.

They call this "lasting performance" but I find that, it just doesn't really last for me!

I purchased this a while ago in shade 101 - Ivory beige as I was looking for a cheap that I can wear day to day at work (my go to favourite is Estee lauder Double wear but I can't afford to be wearing that every day!).

This foundation is quite light weight, it's not particularly heavy or thick, which is fine but if you want a full coverage foundation, this is not it. I find that when putting it on, I just feel like it's not providing the coverage I would like and I end up having to pack on concealer and powder to cover what I want to cover. The bottle does not specify whether it is medium, light of full coverage, it just says it provides a long lasting natural look. I guess they're right about the natural side of it.

They also claim to be long lasting but I find that this is not really the case either. Usually by the time I get home from work, it's looking a bit bare around my chin and forehead. I sort of expected it to last a bit longer than that so I'm a bit disappointed in the wearability of it.

In sumamry, if you're after a cheap light-medium coverage foundation then this should be fine for you but if you're after something that provides more full coverage to last a full work day then I recommend you look elsewhere.

I LOVE this foundation but I HATE the shade range. It's very pink based, I can use one of them if I'm really tan but other than that it's a bust.

However - great coverage, great price, great consistency, great application, and all round pretty damn great!

It's medium to full coverage, doesn't cake up, doesn't stick to dry patches, and doesn't go oily throughout the day. Applies really well with both brushes and fingers.

I have used this product and re-purchased it twice now. Good coverage and lasts 8 hours, as promised. Possible a little thick which means it doesnt last as long as other foundations I have used.

I've gone through 3 or 4 bottles of this foundation over the years. Colour code 101 is a perfect match for my cool toned, fair skin. In summer, I do sometimes mix a bit of a darker foundation in to give it a slight warmth though. This foundation lasts fairly well. It doesn't last all day. I do have to powder throughout the day. However, no foundation lasts all day on my oily skin! My main reasons for coming back to this foundation are that it is easy to apply, has a good colour range, lasts for a reasonable amount of time, and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.

This foundation is long lasting and hydrating with out clogging pores or making your skin oily. It can give full coverage and doesn't have to be applied with a brush to get a good effect. I use the lightest shade and it doesn't make my skin orange like over foundations do and it also looks natural.

This product is a great foundation, it has great coverage and does last a decent amount of time on the skin. However the product doesn't have a huge colour range and the lightest shade is too dark for my fair skin. I also think that this product oxidised on my skin throughout the day.

The packaging of this product is nice but you need to keep it upright or it is difficult to get the product out. This foundation is also slightly bigger than other foundations at 35ml.
