Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

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, especially facial creams and foundation will perform differently on different age-groups and skin types. I confess, I am a make-up-aholic! have been wearing make-up since I was 14 but If I'd known then how blessed ...
...have covered it up with foundation, but girls will be girls! So, I'm 55 now and still have a good skin. Although drugs for rheumatoid arthritis and a nasty couple of years with dreadful hot flushes brought about broken capilleries over my cheeks (and no, I'm not a lush!). What to do? I couldn't afford those expensive zapper treatments to get rid of the redness. So I started slapping on more of my usual (expensive) foundation, over the cheek area. ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

...to the site, joined the Max Factor Club and ordered my free sample and waited for it to arrive through the post. I was quite surprised when it arrived only 2 weeks later. I didn't actually give the little foil pouch much thought and it floated around my bathroom for several days before I decided to try it out. We had been invited to a wedding and I had to look perfect. I was having a disastrous morning and nothing seemed to be going right. My 4 ...
...out a generous blob of Max Factor Colour adapt and began to apply AAArrrggghHH far too much ! A tiny 5p sized amount is enough. I was still quite amazed though, the foundation was a liquid but as it was evenly applied to my face it felt as though the liquid had turned to powder. My skin looked amazing. I had a flawless complexion !! I really couldn't believe that a make up that claimed to be unique and revolutionary actually was ! Apparently this ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

...magazines were raving about, yup... Max Factor Colour Adapt foundation. And now I have the urge to spread the name around like wildfire because it has to be the best investment I have ever made beauty-wise. My skin is what I would call OK - far from perfect, has it's off days but generally appears to be fine. It is also quite pale and freckly so I can't wear anything too heavy because it looks as though I can't apply it to save my life. Sheer foundations ...
...available almost everywhere that stocks Max Factor make-up - Boots, Superdrug, Sainsburys, other supermarkets and pharmacies. It comes in 8 shades - Sand, Creamy Ivory, Golden, Natural, Warm Almond, Bronze, Blushing Beige and Toffee. Some of these shades aren't available at the moment in Boots so I don't know whether they are anywhere else, or coming out soon. Unlike other foundations, where you pick the colour one or two shades above your own skin, ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

...new magic formula provided by Max Factor International, that inspirational cosmetics house which, as we all know from the commercials, provides the make up of make up artists. It's been a while since I wrote you gorgeous lovelies a review so please forgive me (yet rate accordingly) if this offering is below par. I don't mean to waste your time, yet I am getting rather excited and may veer off into insipid rambling. Anyway, I have it here in my ...
...not covered by it. Max factor themselves give its coeverage a rating of 'good', which sounds, well, good until you notice that most of its other foundations have been awarded 'great'. It's also quite pricey. I got it on special at £8.99, but I've seen it more commonly priced at £10.99 which is steep for mid-range. Might as well bite the bullet and go glam with Estee Lauder or Clinique if you ask me. The bottle's quite a nice design wth the oh-so-modern ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

...(again!) until I saw the Max Factor display. Colour Adapt is sold as 'skin tone adapting make-up' that is said to adapt to your individual skin tone to provide a flawless look that it 'perfectly you.' Sounds promising - and the best part? The shade 40: Creamy Ivory was a *perfect* match for my skin and at only £11.95 for 34ml's I decided to give it a try. It has a creamy, almost mousse like texture that glides onto the skin smoothly, leaving a velvety ...
...natural coverage. I apply using my fingertips or a foundation brush, either work fine. It dissapears into the skin, leaving an almost bare-faced-but-better finish. Due to it's creamy texture, it can leave the face feeling very slightly tacky, so I set with a small amount of MAC's Studio Fix Powder with a large, fluffy brush, not only mattifying but improving the foundations wear too. This combination lasts throughout the day with very few to no touchups ...

...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

...I actually got my Max Factor Colour Adapt as part of a special promotion at Boots, so mine is only a sample size. I'll therefore comment on the full-size product as best I can, though please bear in mind that I have not yet tested the full-size product. My sample came in shade #70, Natural; there was no choice of colours. --Packaging-- The product comes in packaging that has a similar colour scheme to other lines that are similarly priced (Olay ...
...blue, as well as the Max Factor logo. The colours of the packaging are reminiscent of a working woman's twinset and pearls, suggesting that this product is perhaps not aimed at the younger woman. --What does the promo say?-- " Don't Mask Your True Colours. Match them. Your skin isn't the same colour all over so why use a foundation that is? Colour Adapt flatters and works with every shade of your face to create the most natural looking base ever. ...

I found its creamy texture quite charming and it went on to my skin so smoothly. It cost me about 10 or 11 pounds witch isn't that cheap but as ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

/\/\/\ Max Factor - Colour Adapt Foundation /\/\/\ Price: £11.95 - Sainsburys (may be cheaper elsewhere) 34ml tube I tried 70 - natural What is it? This is a foundation that apparently adapts to your own skin tone. I've seen this advertised on television but had not got around to trying it out. I've recently tried the Age Renew which I found to be very silky on the skin - a little too silky for me. This also made me look shiny in photos. This ...
...the top it says - Max Factor - colour adapt. The dispensing part of the tube is a large white push down nozzle which dispenses a tiny amount of foundation onto your finger, or whatever you are using to apply the foundation with. This way there is no waste. Covering the nozzle is a clear white plastic lid. Smell: Unlike the Age Renew which had a sweet smell to it, this Colour Adapt foundation had no smell at all. None that I could detect anyway. ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

...ask a representative at the Max Factor counter. I told her my budget, what my skin tends to be like, how much coverage I wanted and how often I'd be using foundation. For those who'd like to know (and I already explained my skin at the beginning), it went something like this: - £10-£15 Budget. - Medium to full coverage. - I use foundation practically every day. She recommended Max Factor Colour Adapt, it was around £11 and she happily went into ...
...easily sort that out by using moisturiser first, it's quite a liquidy consistancy and you only need to use a pea sized amount, it sets almost powder like. Sounded great to me, so I went ahead and got it. So, Amy, what was it like? Well, Ciao, I've been using this for around 2 weeks now and it definitely evened out my skin tone; even brought a bit more colour to my face without it looking too tacky/obvious, that's a great plus with this product. ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

...I received a sample of Max Factors colour adapt foundation and was absolutely amazed. Although it's a bit pricey at around £8.99 a bottle, I just had to have some! I'll admit I alternate using this with Maybelline dream matte mousse, but as the mousse one tends to cling to dry skin, I always come back to my favourite max factor one during the colder weather! ~About the product~ This is a liquid foundation, which has special particles that adapt ...
...This varies as to where you shop, but the foundation is available at most Max Factor stockists such as Boots and Superdrug and usually costs around £8.99 for a 34ml bottle. ~Other info~ The foundation is available in 9 colours. For more info you can visit www.maxfactor.com ...

...not to lose it. Max Factor Colour Adapt is written across the front of the bottle. The colour of the foundartion is written underneath the Max Factor Logo. Price This is the one downfall of this foundation, its quite expensive at £11.95 for 35ml. I don't actually wear make up that often so this bottle lasts me a very long time. Although I am not sure how long it would last if you were wearing it every day. Applying It And The Effect The texture ...
...spreads over my skin so nicely and blends into my natural skin tone with ease. Before applying the foundation, I always shake the bottle to try and make sure that all the foundation will come out evenly. Push down on the pump and a squirt of the foundation will come out onto your hand. I find that 2-3 pumps on the bottle provides me with enough foundation to fully cover my face. This foundation gives such a natural coverage and the foundation itself ...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

One lonely, boring day at work I requested a sample of this foundation. Sure enough within two or three days, the sample arrived through my letterbox. The packaging claims that this foundation comprises of particles which adapt to the different natural variations of colour on one's face. Apparently, in conventional foundation, one would need up to four shades of foundation to achieve the same as this clever and rather aptly named "Colour Adapt" foundation ...
...makeup evens out and blends with the skin to rid oneself of imperfections to create a flawless finish. It is oil free and dermatalogically tested. So with all of this in mind, I set about applying morning makeup routine. My first impression was that has is a very thick consistancy, much thicker than the foundations I normally use. To apply I used a makeup sponge (I should note here that Maxfactor recommend that you use your finger tips to apply ...

...Boots, as my normal choice: Max Factor "Lasting Performance" foundation, was nearing the end of its life, I was struck by a display of this new foundation. Before this I had seen the television advertisements with a wonderful model with wonderful glowing, flawless naked-looking skin. 'Perfect!', I thought, and siezed the bottle and free watch from the stand. The price was a little surprising since it was a little more expensive than my usual foundation ...
...the same class as other Max Factor products, and on closer inspection it seems that the gold is a different shade - perhaps it is this which makes it tackier. But at the end of the day, we're talking about packaging. Sure, it'd be nice if the packaging reflected the fact it cost almost £12, but what it really comes down to, is the product. I could actually feel the difference in texture when I circled my finger around in a small amount of foundation ...
