Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation Review

They call this "lasting performance" but I find that, it just doesn't really last for me!

I purchased this a while ago in shade 101 - Ivory beige as I was looking for a cheap that I can wear day to day at work (my go to favourite is Estee lauder Double wear but I can't afford to be wearing that every day!).

This foundation is quite light weight, it's not particularly heavy or thick, which is fine but if you want a full coverage foundation, this is not it. I find that when putting it on, I just feel like it's not providing the coverage I would like and I end up having to pack on concealer and powder to cover what I want to cover. The bottle does not specify whether it is medium, light of full coverage, it just says it provides a long lasting natural look. I guess they're right about the natural side of it.

They also claim to be long lasting but I find that this is not really the case either. Usually by the time I get home from work, it's looking a bit bare around my chin and forehead. I sort of expected it to last a bit longer than that so I'm a bit disappointed in the wearability of it.

In sumamry, if you're after a cheap light-medium coverage foundation then this should be fine for you but if you're after something that provides more full coverage to last a full work day then I recommend you look elsewhere.

I brought this one time as I thought it might be good to wear at the gym or exercising. I was draw to it as it states long lasting, however I didn’t find it lasted a great amount of time and it sweated off very quickly. I found this to be quite disappointing considering I was lead to believe it would last. The coverage was fairly light which I was also not so pleased about either. It went on nicely had a good texture and didn’t go blotchy like others have done when I’ve been exercising.

I found this quite a light foundation, it went on well and blended well, but I prefer full coverage matte long lasting, so if you like a light dewy natural foundation then it would be great. It's a middle of the range foundation, I'd prefer to pay a bit more and get a more long lasting foundation as it doesn't last the day. It also goes a bit too shiny for me, I think it's an English brand and would be fine in cold climates or winter but in summer it disappears quickly.

This just didn't feel right on me. I thought the colour was ok when I tried it in the shop but it just wasn't right and I struggled to get nice even coverage without getting a terrible jawline mark like I was wearing a mask. Maybe if I was a makeup artist I could make it work better, but I found myself applying more to get nicer coverage and then washing it all off and starting again. Just plain frustrating. I don't mind the dewier finish but this was more oily I thought. Maybe it just didn't work with my skin. I think perhaps if you had perfect skin and not combination then it might be right for you. The price is very reasonable so may be worth a go for some people but I won't be buying again.

I used this foundation for years. Has good coverage and lasts most of the day. I was using a colour that unfortunately they stopped making and were not supplying to Farmers anymore, so I have reluctantly just changed to another brand.
