I had run out of my usual foundation and went to Boots to get another when I was drawn towards the Max Factor counter. I looked at the various shades of foundation, but as usual they all seemed orange. The sales assistant recommended "3-in-1 Complete Make up". The colour was "fair 001". ... Read review

Advantages: gives smooth coverage, attractive packaging, good price Disadvantages: may need to apply moisturiser first if skin is dry, unsuitable for greasy skin
...I was drawn towards the Max Factor counter. I looked at the various shades of foundation, but as usual they all seemed orange. The sales assistant recommended "3-in-1 Complete Make up". The colour was "fair 001". They also do natural beige, honey beige, ivory beige, soft beige and natural bronze. I did the test-putting it on the inside of my arm and it did seem to blend in. Don't test it on the outside of your arm-it is generally darker then your ... ...something lighter on your skin Max Factor do Facefinity compact foundations which are light foundations. There is also a range of stick foundations which are the new thing at the moment. A good foundation is a good investment and Max Factor 3-in-1 is a lot cheaper than many other foundations I have tried, with not so favourable results. ...

Advantages: Goes on smooth and long lasting Disadvantages: The sponge isnt long lasting
...healthy. This one by Max Factor has to be one of the best I have found.I have tried a few over the years, and tried this one when I spotted it in a promotion. It comes in a neat compact with a mirror and a sponge to apply it with.
It goes on very smooth and it is also very quick to apply. It comes in several shades depending on your skin colouring, and I find it to be the most natural one next to other brands.
It lasts quite a long time too, it ...

Advantages: quick and easy to use, great coverage Disadvantages: excess packaging and can be slightly drying
...is the product for you. Max Factor 3-in-1 complete make- up is great to take anywhere and is so convenient and easy to use. It's just under £10, and for the amount you get (if you're going to use it daily) I think it's quite expensive, I can sometimes get through one in under two weeks. Although, for its quality and because you save on extra things such as concealer and powder you're sort of saving money.
It comes with a tiny sponge which is so ... ...for trouble prone skin and I've found my face clears up a couple of days after using it, especially when your skin is at its most oiliest, hormones, stress etc. I'd definitely recommend this to teenagers, people who are busy...or just lazy : )
There is a bit of a downside to this make-up: Because of its coverage factor (and it's excellent at covering any imperfections by the way) it can be slightly heavy to use around your eyes, which can leave ...

This neat sized 3 in 1, (foundation/concealer/powder), comes in a blue compact with mirror and sponge. Perfect for those of us that do not have the time, (or are too lazy), to spend time applying the three individually. The coverage it gives is just right, not too heavy, but sufficient to hide the odd blemish. It gives a nice, smooth finish and banishes any shine around the t-zone. I apply it with the sponge provided, and I find that you do not have ... ...carry around and reapply throughout the day if you need to, although I find one application in the morning is sufficient to last me through the day at work. I am quite pale skinned but tend to get a colour slightly darker than my skin tone so it also gives me a slightly bronzed look. Priced at £9.50, (in Tesco's recently), it is available in most stores such as Boots etc. ...

My Foundation Review ofMax Factor 3 in 1by
Grey_whispers
Advantages: Concealer Foundation and Powder in one, good packaging, helpful sales staff Disadvantages: Price
Max Factor 3 in 1 Complete Make-up is described as 'a foundation and concealer that drys with the effect of a powder' I couldn't be hassled with my normal 'carry a pressed powder compact - need something more routine' The answer came in a dark blue compact with stylish gold letters on it. MF (or maxfactor) The compact contains a mirror, the creamy 'substance' and a sponge. I bought Soft beige (105) and i found that max factor staff at the department ... ...Max Factor is a bit expensive (foundation cost something like 8 pounds. I ussually don't spend this much on foundation but i feel (after use of a bout a month) I will definitly buy this product again. The only major flaw I can see is the price. ...

Max Factor mascaras are the best around in my opinion. I started off using their Classis Stretch mascara a few years ago, then moved on to Lash Lift, but then they brought out Max Factor Masterpiece. I was in love. I still am. It's by far the best... more
Masterpiece is the new mascara brought to us by top leading brand 'Max Factor'. Promising to highlight even your tiniest eyelashes and enhance them to full effect, this is a mascara that oozes drama, demands attention and it is not for the shrinking... more
I worked my way up to using foundation, as usual it was my sister who brought me into the world of make up and fashions, and whatever she bought, I used and loved.. I trusted her feeling for what was nice and not, and I still do! In return I did her... more
Well its time to write a new review for Ciao as I haven’t written one in ages!! So much has happened though in the last few months I haven’t had a chance!! Anyway, I thought I’d break myself in gently writing about something I’m passionate about –... more
Having read other's reviews, I noted how different some were, which was interesting as when one buys a beauty product and finds it the best ever, it's a little puzzling to discover other's don't rate it so well!
Of course, beauty products,... more
Max Factor Crème Puff is described by the makers as an all in one makeup. It can be also be worn over foundation. It is a matte powder that gives slightly heavier coverage than a loose or many pressed powders would. I first read about it a few years ago... more
