Max Factor Lasting Performance

...One day she had bought Max Factor´s Lasting Performance foundation, and wanted to try it on me, don´t think I´ve used any other foundation ever before that, except my mother´s far too dark shades of brown cream in an attempt to look tanned, and I remember it didn´t look nice. But.. my sister was right as usual, it looked really nice, and I was so pleased with how I looked. Since then I´m hooked, I bought one myself, it comes in tubes of 35 ml, it´s ...
...and it lasts for ages! You don´t need much on, and it covers without making the face look like you put mud on it. It stays on very well (but also comes off very easily), I have even fallen asleep with it on, and it´s still there perfectly the next day, you would probably have passed for newly made up to go out if it wasn´t for the mascara under (and over!) your eyes :) Disadvantages: The only things I can think of is that it comes off a little on ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

I’ve done it! I’ve finally broken out of my cheap make up habit! Some people on here may already know that I tend to go for the cheaper things in life. I buy cheap clothes, cheap food, cheap cleaning products and cheap make up. I also improvise with my make up. I’ve made my own concealers in the past and I have make up that has been in my collection for over 3 years. But no more! It started with me being bought a nice expensive ...
...was this foundation I first saw on a discounted make up website. I was actually going to buy an even more expensive foundation by Clinique after I had used a sample of it but then there was something about this that caught my eye. So what was it that grabbed me? What was it about this foundation that made me break out of my £2.99 foundation habit? Well two things really… advertising and packaging. It isn’t often I go for things because ...

...skin lovely and soft. Max Factor Lasting Performance comes in a wide range of colours, ranging from very pale to very dark. I have very pale skin and blonde hair, so I use ‘fair'. Lastly, you must remember that once you have the right foundation, you can build on that to attain maximum beauty! ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

...window. Not anymore... Max Factor's 'Lasting Performance' no. 105 is out of the drawer and back on the shelf, revelling in all its 'soft beige' glory. Being fair haired and fair complexioned I believe this shade suits me best as the 'Fair' shade is too light and ghostly. In summer I switch to no. 109 'Natural Bronze'. There are six colour variations to choose from in easy to identify transparent tubes. This make-up base really does last all day ...
...removes easily with cream. It evens up skin imperfections to create a flawless finish and is non-greasy, light and easy to apply as unlike previous foundations I use my fingertips instead of bothering with a damp sponge. Having an oily complexion probably helps though. The colour blends well without streaking and has a pleasant aroma. At a cost of £9.50 for a 35ml screw-top tube, or £2.71 per 10ml pastelle, it's a competitively priced product considering ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

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

This is the best.... I occasionally see something new on the market, try it and regret it - always go back to this. The makeup goes on easy, you don't need much as it gives a good cover. I put about 1/2 teaspoon on the back of my hand in the morning and then spread it on my face with my other hand. I put the make up all over my face, on my eye lids and under my eyes. I have found that my eye shadow stays on better with this as a base. I have very ...
...concealer that covered it, I was amazed to find that this did the job. Wow ... double whammy!! I then go to work, work 8/9 hours, can come home touch up my lippy/hair and just go out... don't need to touch my make up. A good tip for you all is how to make it last a LOT longer. I used to get mad when it was running out and I didn't have time to get to the shops for more. One day I couldn't squeeze any more out and was desperate, so got the kitchen ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

Make-up is a big part of my life; I use it everyday and won’t leave the house without it! I have tried many foundations and find that they don’t blend in with my skin, don’t last 5mins, rub off on anything possible or make me look orange. So when I saw this one advertised I thought, anything is worth a try! And I’m glad I tried it as I haven’t stopped using it since! it comes in a 35ml see-though tube, with a dark blue lid, at £9.95 it is expensive, ...
...one month, and I use it everyday, sometimes twice a day, so it is good value for money. Most people apply foundation using a sponge but I use my fingers to massage it into my skin, I find it easier this way, as I can be sure of an even coverage and none is wasted by being absorbed by the sponge! You only need to use a small amount as it spreads onto your face very easily. It has great coverage; it covers my freckles, and any spots I get. it normally ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

...not enough, a cotton pad and cleanser would probably be needed aswell. My criticisms would be that it's not very great at covering over spots, so you would definately need to use a concealer with it also. Overall it is a really great foundation, what you'd expect from max factor! ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

...What the product promises. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Max Factor claim that their product is smudge proof and long lasting, so much so that it can last for up to 8hrs. Max Factor also claim that this foundation would not clog pores or streak. Price. ~~~~~ It costs around £8.50 for a 35ml bottle, it is expensive, but it's worth it. It's easier to find one to match your skin as there are 8 shades to choose from. My Experience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ On my ...
...the make up or not as 15 minutes in and I was still having the foundation applied. It seemed as if I was having the whole bottle put on me, but the make up artsist explained that she was using a brush to apply the foundation which helped it go on easier and let you use less. The foundation was used again on my wedding day, which was very hot, however the foundation did not let me down. It did last all day, it gave me a flawless , but natural look ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

...With Lasting Performance by Max Factor this is not the case. First of all let me describe the packaging. It comes in a tube approx. 10cm long and 5 cm wide, apart from the end and lid the tube is transparent, which enables you to see the colour of the foundation. The lid and end are a dark blue in colour. There is a large gold star on the front of the tube. The tube contains 35ml of foundation. The foundation is in liquid format, and is very easy ...
...last all day! There is little smell, just a slight make-up smell, if you know what I mean. I have sensitive skin, and have had no adverse reactions. The advert states "A smudge-proof formula that resists touching off onto you or your clothes." And again, I have to agree. There are 8 different colours:- Soft Beige Pastelle Fair Natural Bronze Honey Beige Natural Beige Deep Beige Ivory Beige Stick to the shade that best suits your skin. I prefer ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

I have been using this foundation for years, and I hope they never discontinue it! The product is great for skin thats not so perfect, it is oil free and liquid foundation, and has great coverage, it is the only foundation that I have ever tried that covers my not so good skin, the lasting power is also good but as I have combination skin my only bug with it is that it tends to slide off my nose and forehead after about 5 hours, which is not so ...
...tried nothing better in the same price range I have stuck with this and use it everyday, I have just started to apply it with a foundation brush which gives even better coverage, and the plus is you use less foundation which is a plus. All in all I would definately recommend it. ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

If you have problem skin, open pores and a few blemishes then i would definately recommend this foundation. It covers a multitude of sins! You do need to be careful not to apply too much as it could look a little heavy. I tend to mix it with my normal facial moisurizer (about half and half), its then alot easier to apply and leaves a very natural finish and does not look cakey! This way it lasts twice as long too and still covers blemishes and leaves ...
...with a sponge on its own but it was way to thick and after a few hours it gathered in the creases of the the face (not a good look) but used in the right way its unbeatable in my opinion. I have combination skin and have tried lots and lots of foundations, this is by far the best! it doesn't leave the face shiney or greasy and has a nice matt finish. Its not the cheapest but lasts for ages and is well worth the money. I hope they never discontinue ...

Review of Max Factor Lasting Performance

I agree with most of the other opinions given that this is truly a very good make up. As the name says it is long lasting. Although I do believe that it does not actually last all day but then again this is probably just advertisement. This make up gives great coverage especially with patchy skin without give you the "wearing tons of make up look". So you can wear it to work and even when you go out - just apply that little bit more. However, because ...
...apply. I prefer applying make up with my hands and because this particular one is so liquid you really have to wash your hands very well afterwards otherwise you will have make up even underneath your fingernails. I also found this make up to be very kind to my skin as it makes it very soft. All in all, a great one! ...

I find this foundation provides very even coverage and blends into the skin well. I have tried many different foundations and have always had difficulty because of my very oily skin, however this foundation seems to stay presentable on my skin throughout the day although additional powder needs to be applied through the day too. I think it is very good value at nearly ten pounds although more foundation or additional concealer needs to be applied ...
