Long time fave

My mum and I have used max factor for years! This product is great! Keeps skin hydrated and looking natural AND full coverage! If anyone is ever looking for a fantastic foundation with a fantastic price that won't break the bank this is it! Smells great as well ;)

Tips: I always apply this foundation one section at a time and with a brush then blend with fingers :)

One of my favourite foundations

This foundation is long lasting and hydrating with out clogging pores or making your skin oily. It can give full coverage and doesn't have to be applied with a brush to get a good effect. I use the lightest shade and it doesn't make my skin orange like over foundations do and it also looks natural.

Tips: I brought this from Big Bucket Deals for $13 although they don't always have the same products so if you do see it buy in bulk, instead of paying $25 dollar per bottle from Farmers or a chemist.

If you can get your shade, you need this!

I LOVE this foundation but I HATE the shade range. It's very pink based, I can use one of them if I'm really tan but other than that it's a bust.

However - great coverage, great price, great consistency, great application, and all round pretty damn great!

It's medium to full coverage, doesn't cake up, doesn't stick to dry patches, and doesn't go oily throughout the day. Applies really well with both brushes and fingers.

Tips: When you can't squeeze any more out, cut the top off the tube - there's heaps of product that gets left inside! I scooped it out into a tiny tupperware container and got another couple weeks of use!

Reliable foundation

I've gone through 3 or 4 bottles of this foundation over the years. Colour code 101 is a perfect match for my cool toned, fair skin. In summer, I do sometimes mix a bit of a darker foundation in to give it a slight warmth though. This foundation lasts fairly well. It doesn't last all day. I do have to powder throughout the day. However, no foundation lasts all day on my oily skin! My main reasons for coming back to this foundation are that it is easy to apply, has a good colour range, lasts for a reasonable amount of time, and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.

overall a good foundation

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.

Long lasting action

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.

Max Factor Lasting Performance

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.

Tips: Good moisturiser on first before applying

Good product

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 :)

Maxfactor Lasting Perfection

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.

Tips: I purchased this product for $20 at Farmers

Not in love

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.
