Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation Review

I think the title of my review sums up this foundation pretty nicely in just three words - oily oompa loompa.

I picked this foundation up on sale at Farmers for $20 which is a pretty good price for a foundation. However, it was $20 I regret spending!

First of all, lasting performance? Who came up with this name? This foundation rubbed off my face so easily, wore off in most places and the rest practically swum off because it went so oily. It went so oily in my T-zone I could have stood in the middle of a school disco and been the disco ball!

Second - if I had walked past Willy Wonkal in the street, I may have been mistaken for one of his lost Oompa Loompas. This foundation literally turned orange after a couple hours wear - definitely not what I signed up for!

Overall, I hated this foundation and would not recommend to anyone! (unless you are auditioning for the role of an oompa loompa in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - and in that case, good luck and go for it!)

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.

this product has ideal pricing, nice smooth texture and good coverage, while still being quite lightweight. The "lasting" factor, however, was not apparent in terms of coverage and colour, it tended to go a bit orange by the end of the day and also made my skin oily around the nose which made the makeup slide off.

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.

This product is a great foundation, it has great coverage and does last a decent amount of time on the skin. However the product doesn't have a huge colour range and the lightest shade is too dark for my fair skin. I also think that this product oxidised on my skin throughout the day.

The packaging of this product is nice but you need to keep it upright or it is difficult to get the product out. This foundation is also slightly bigger than other foundations at 35ml.

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.

Is product is good for the price however I had trouble finding a colour for me as I am very pale, it looked a little orange. it also rubbed off really easily during the day! The coverage is alright, it didn't cover my freckles/ acne specifically, I had to use a concealer. But this product is pretty good for it's price and has a good amount of product I had mine for ages! And I used it every day :)

this foundation offers a slightly more amount of product(35ml) than others(30ml). the price is also very reasonable comparing other drug-store foundation.

the packaging is just a basic plastic tube, making sure you get every drop in this tube, it also a foundation can easily put into your makeup bag as very light weight and sleek packaging.

I have normal/combination skin, for me, this foundation is medium coverage, need to touch up though out the day. it doesn't smell like anything as it claims, and i lovehow this foundation doesn't break out my skin.

overall for the price it is a good foundation.

I have used this product and re-purchased it twice now. Good coverage and lasts 8 hours, as promised. Possible a little thick which means it doesnt last as long as other foundations I have used.
