Max Factor Miracle Match Foundation Review

I really like foundations that keep my skin looking like my skin, if that makes sense. However many I find are too much like my skin, as in the don't give enough coverage, or they give too much coverage. Max Factor's Miracle Match might just be my perfect match.

The foundation comes in a glass bottle (which makes it feel a tad luxurious) with a pump top and plastic lid. The design is in keeping with the Max Factor range. I'm usually drawn to bottles with a splash of colour, but at the end of the day it's not how the bottle looks it's what's in it...

The foundation was surprisingly thick, and I worried it would make me look cakey. But it didn't. One and a half pumps was all I needed to cover my face and it blended incredibly easily. Better than my other foundations. What I loved most about it was that it gave me such a natural look yet covered my uneven pigmentation.

I wondered if it was just me thinking I looked better than usual when wearing it, but I had two friends comment on how well I was looking... The only change in my routine? Using the foundation and primer from Max Factor.

Would I recommend it to a friend? If they had skin like mine - dry with a combo t-zone - absolutely. Without hesitation.

I was lucky enough to be picked for a trial team by BR to review this product. I dutifully headed over to my nearest Farmers and set about finding my colour match. I am quite often the lightest shade in limited foundation ranges but in this one I matched with Warm Almond 45. When picking foundation I go for the one that disappears when I blend a little bit along my jawline. The packaging of this product is nice, the foundation is in a glass bottle with a pump. I prefer pumps on liquid foundations as you can dispense the right amount of foundation and keeps the unused stuff hygienic. I applied this product with a foundation brush and it blended well and easily. The formula and texture is what you would expect from a liquid foundation. Miracle Match foundation gives really good coverage. It is a very solid mid range in terms of coverage but since I am blessed with fantastic skin it made my skin look perfect. The coverage is buildable. You can start with a small amount and add to it if you need a bit more coverage. On top of the matching primer from this range this foundation lasts well all day on me without having to be touched up. Even in the height of summer I had issues with it slipping off my face during the day. This foundation came off easily with a makeup remover wipe. The only other product I used was a little bit of translucent powder on the top layer just to set it and stop my skin looking oily. I was really pleased with this product, will happily use it all up and will purchase it when I've finished this bottle.
