Max Factor Facefinity Compact Foundation, Number 001, Porcelain, 10 g (Old Model)

Best compact I have ever found, been using them for years. It's like a foundation and powder in one, that is easy to apply and looks good. This is a very trustworthy foundation compact. It might be pricier when compared to other things on the market, but it is definitely worth the investment. It is very smooth and spreads out evenly, without being blotchy and it lasts quite a while (at least 4 hours, was what I noticed for me). You can use this one with or without a liquid foundation and they interact just fine on the skin. Sometimes I want to let my skin breathe and only use the compact and it does a great job on its own!It's in a very pretty case and is so light that you can always find space for it in your purses. I use the natural shade, since the sand one is just a bit too dark fro me during this season. Normally I switch to the sand shade during summer when I get really tanned.It is very matte and covers any bits of skin that have a shiny tendency, so it blots them out neatly.I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have the best quality products to rely on at all times.

Love this product just a shame the newer version is not as nice

I have tried Max Factor foundations in the past, mainly liquid & cream varieties, but this excels them all. It gives a fantastic full coverage, but is extremely natural.It is as easy to apply as a cream but like a mineral powder, the beauty being it is not messy to apply like most mineral foundations. I find on me (I don't have any major issues with regards to dry / oily patches) I have to touch up after 6 hours, so its not an all day foundation, but with the handy compact in my bag and good sized mirror inside it, its very quick and easy. Good quality sponge included, I've been using the same compact for over a month and I would guess I have another month, so for the price it is excellent, I've paid over £30 for foundations that don't match up to this. Well worth trying this, just a pity its no longer on Amazon's subscribe and save plan, but still great value.

Pros: easy to apply with light coverage. It has a satin finish and doesn't emphasise fine lines. Easy to touch up on the go. Can be used with a damp beauty blender. Good price for a well made product.Cons: Not enough colours and even the lightest, Porcelain is a tad too dark for me. It can oxidize in the heat. The smell is strong until it fades 10 minutes later. New packaging is difficult especially for older arthritic fingers. Tip, if you have pale skin Toffee is nice contour shade. I will keep buying it but only from Superdrug/Boots or Amazon not the independent suppliers who I find sell older stock.

I am around 50 years of age have enlarged pores around my nasal area, and have tried numerous foundations, they all sink into my pores and make me look like I have the skin of a ripe orange. It' looks horrendous with a magnifying mirror! I can't tell you how horrified I've been on close analysis, patchy, wrinkly all made worse by inadequate foundation. But not this one, oh no! This one glides on like a powder, my skin looks like that of a 30 year old and smooth as a baby's bum. It doesn't seem to sink into the pores at all. I do use a good quality serum and moisturiser, otherwise I think it would be quite drying to the skin, but it doesn't make me look wrinkly at all. And a bargain too! What more could one want?

This is my favourite powder foundation. If I can, I will order from Amazon again as it’s not easy to find. I have fine lines and some wrinkles and it doesn’t cake or highlight the lines like some do. Great for people who don’t have much time to spend on makeup and you can easily top up again in the evening. Having a sponge applicator makes it very easy to apply and you can also use a foundation brush if you prefer.

What a con, these are refills not the full compact as stated.

This is my youngest daughter’s favourite foundation. It arrived with Amazon Prime next day delivery and well packaged and in perfect condition. For the price paid this is good quality. It comes in a compact with a mirror and a sponge to apply the foundation. My daughter is quite pale and the natural shade is a good match to her skin tone. The cream is quite dry going on but as her skin tends to go greasy she quite like the matt finish. All in a good quality cream that goes on well and lasts all day for a fraction of the price of other brands and does as good a job.
