Face Make-up

I never go anywhere without my Touche Eclat!

Advantages: Provides a translucent and effective coverage of dark circles around the eye.
Disadvantages: Need to reapply regularly.

I am 53 years of age I have been using Touche Eclat for the best part of 10 years.I never go anywhere without it. In my opinion it is one of the best of its kind on the market. I have tried cheaper brands and alternatives but find they do not blend as easily and appear to sit in the wrinkles around the eye area. I love its almost translucent texture and appearance. I use Touche Eclat in the darker areas around the eyes, round the lip area (for fuller ...
...artists that I have worked with. I use it in the creases at the side of my nostrils and on any 'having a bad day' grey areas of the face that need 'lifting'. I apply Touch Eclat after my foundation-this, for me, gives maximum effect. I would and have recommended this to friends. ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation - a pleasure to use!

Advantages: Blends perfectly; really works to adapt to your natural colour
Disadvantages: None

...the years. I first used Max Factor Colour Adapt when I got a free sample of it after buying some other Max Factor products. Colour Adapt comes in five shades: Creamy Ivory, Warm Almond, Blushing Beige, the uninformatively-named Natural, and Golden. It claims to adapt to your natural skin tones to provide a natural finish. The free sample I received was Natural, which is a bit darker than my actual skin tone. I have very pale skin so I thought the ...
...finish is lovely and gives a wonderful smooth but matte effect. It works well over moisturiser. It doesn't cling to dry skin or look cakey. I will probably stick with this product from now on, although I might try Max Factor's other foundations, as I'm so impressed with this one. ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

Max Factor Lasting performance for every day use.

Advantages: It is very adaptable and provides reasonable coverage without feeling heavy.
Disadvantages: the choice of colours isn't huge so colours may need to be blended to match.

Having used this product for a few years I have never been let down by it and in my opinion it is an excellent product for both day and night use. I think that it provides really good, even coverage and It is cream based formula that spreads easily. As I mentioned earlier it works for all occasions; during the day I add it to moisturiser for a slightly lighter coverage and by night use it as it is. It always seems to last a full work day or night ...
...option for any occassion, it creates a natural finish without being too matt or too shiny and doesn't feel heavy on your skin. Also I find whilst the coverage is good you don't need too much of the product, as it spreads easily so therefore doesn't run out too quickly. ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

Best under eye concealer I've tried!

Advantages: Good coverage
Disadvantages: Price

...try this as I like Benefit products. I used to use Touche Eclat but I didn't find it very effective. I wouldn't use it for concealing spots as I tend to find you can use a cheaper product for that, and I keep this just for under the eyes which is a more delicate area. Boi-ng comes in 3 shades - but I only ever seem to see no.1 and no.2 (light and medium). You can apply it with your finger and I do find it's quite thick, and heavier than a normal ...
...issue for me. Although Benefit Boi-ing is pretty expensive at £15.50, Ive found that like many other Benefit products its worth paying the extra for. Having said that I never pay full price for it! You can often find this product (and the rest of the Benefit range) with 10% off in department stores when they are having sales, or I have bought it off the US website www.benefitcosmetics.com, because when the exchange rate was good this product including ...

Review of BeneFit Boi-ing

The Natural Look

Advantages: Light. bright and airy
Disadvantages: None

Max Factor Age Renew Foundation, that name has a promising ring to it. Read the details and Max Factor claim that the foundation can `make your skin look up to five years younger in a flash`. Issuing that statement to the owner of mature skin is tempting to say the very least. I am often found pounding the beat in our local Boots the chemist, usually browsing around taking a good look at the latest cosmetics, I really love trying out the testers ...
...stick, the mousse and then Max Factor come along with this lightweight foundation that comes out of a pump action bottle. Ten out of ten to Max Factor for giving us an attractive and well designed bottle. The 30 ml gold and pink bottle is good looking and it is the perfect size to carry with you if needs be. The Max Factor Age Renew comes in a range of six shades, creamy ivory, warm almond, blushing beige, natural, golden and bronze. My mature ...
