Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2-in-1 Foundation + Serum Review

I was happy to get a spot on this trial team for this foundation. I'm on a foundation hunt. It's been a mission trying to find my perfect match. I opted for the ageless trial team because I have lines forming on my forehead and under eyes. Finding a foundation that doesn't emphasise those lines is another mission.

Like the primer this foundation comes in a pump bottle. I prefer my foundation to be like this, it stops spills and over use of product. I recieved the shade bronze. I knew it was a tad bit light in colour for my skin. I find the formula of this foundation is smooth . It feels soft. I used it with foundation brush and blender and it worked perfectly. Blends like a dream.

I found the coverage of this foundation is between light to medium coverage. It reminded me of a BB cream almost. I have pigmentation, discoloured skin, spots lines everything and it did cover them almost like a light veil could still see them. I was surprised that it held on my skin for four hours and began to slip and fade out with primer underneath.

Packaging was excellent. Just the formula was a bummer for me didnt cover my spots well. As for the anti ageing , lines still visible which I knew they would be . Thankful that there wasn't any creasing in the under eye area. The spf did work I didn't get sunburnt.

Overall I thought it was a great to get on a trial with both primer and foundation . Price wise it's a bit high. I probably won't go out and buy this foundation.

I am on the fence with this product, I used light ivory 40 and it was a perfect match to porcelain paleness. My skin felt so soft and had a lovely glow to it but after applying two layers on top of the Max Factor Miracle smooth primer I could only build it to a medium coverage, it does state on the back full coverage. One layer evened my skin tone but I still had blemishes and red cheeks showing through, the second layer helped with the red cheeks but my more recent blemishes didn't seem to cover much at all. The finish looked so natural and not at all cakey. The formula is almost thick but on touch feels silky smooth and blends so easily, the smell is like skincare and amazing. I felt the product sunk into my pores on my check though this could have been the primer so I will use this again as it was light weight and that glowy natural finish was beautiful. I think finding the right concealer to go with this foundation will help with the blemish cover as my stick concealer didn't really go well perhaps a liquid formula would work. The product comes with the standard 30mls in a pretty gold plastic tube with a gap showing the actual foundation which would help with matching which colour to choose. The packaging felt a little more upmarket than I was expecting which is nice for the price. All in all, I need like this product and would be perfect if it was full coverage as advertised.
