“The only foundation for me x”

★★★★★

written by lbsupermum on 12/08/2013

The only foundation for me! I have only just discovered it a few weeks ago but I wish I had started using it earlier. It seems to be the only thing that works for my skin type, would advise people with slightly greasy / oily skin to give it a whirl xx

“Now, like a lot of women, i've tried out my fair share...”

★★★★★

written by on 12/11/2010

Now, like a lot of women, i've tried out my fair share of foundations. From powders, to liquids, to mousses, i used to find that nothing worked for my skintone, which can only be described as combination. I am also excessively pale, and i found that a lot of foundations turned yellowish on my skin.

I used to dislike going up to make up counters to get matched up to a proper foundation. The overly made up women behind the counters would often make me feel self conscious for wearing the wrong shade of foundation, or on the day when i had time to go to a make up counter, a huge spot would break out in the middle of my face.

However, i swallowed my pride one morning and made my way towards the max factor counter in boots. After much consideration, the lady behind the counter picked out a colour adapt foundation, in the colour creamy ivory. The foundation comes in a small plastic bottle with a pump, which means that you waste less of the product (as anyone who has ever used the Revlon Colorstay foundation will testify, it's annoying when you accidently pour too much). This foundation has a light, mousse like texture, and it blends well. It feels moist on my skin, which is good for me as i have dry skin in places, however for those with oily skin i would probably stay away, as i could imagine it feeling quite greasy on oily skin.



It is of medium coverage, but i think it looks natural on skin, because it blends so well into your natural skin tone. On average this foundation costs around £12, and it lasts me around four months, and i wear it everyday. To those who would complain about the price, you really do get what you pay for. I really do like this foundation, and it suits my combination skin perfectly (i have oily skin around my nose, but i find if i set my foundation with powder afterwards, it stays fine). Also, it does not oxidise my skin and turn me an unnatural colour.

The only criticism i would have of this foundation is minor, the packaging. It feels a bit middle aged old lady to me. Im not really sure if max factor intend to market their products to an older audience, and if they do it's a shame because i feel this foundation is suitable for young women and older women alike. Also as i said, if you have oily skin all over, then perhaps this foundation may feel heavy on your skin.

i really loved this product as i have an oily skin ,this works well on my skin type. it gives smooth and silky finish. and stays all day long. i got this as a free sample but now i buy this on regular basis. it keeps my skin powdery and there is no need to apply powder. i would love to recommend this product to those having oily or combined skin type.

“Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation is the best...”

★★★★★

written by Laurie Bee on 16/04/2009

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation is the best foundation I've ever tried! I have really pale skin, so any lines, flaws etc show so easily with other foundations - but this gave me perfect coverage, it's the first time I can say my foundation is actually flawless, even in harsh light. I do need a bit of concealer for my under-eye circles, but the important thing is that this base gives wonderful even coverage, feels invisible and makes my skin feel silky and velvety... i love it :)

If, like me, you have also battled for years to find a foundation that will go onto your face without giving that flaky pancake look, then please give this foundation a try. I'm usually so self-conscious about how my skin looks, because just about every base I've tried (even really expensive ones) go blotchy or orange... but this is perfect, and I'll definitely be sticking with it. I'm using 'porcelain', which is shade 50. Try it!

“Kind to my skin - I get a few spots but it hasn't...”

★★★★★

written by Becca234 on 09/02/2009

Kind to my skin - I get a few spots but it hasn't worsened them like other foundations.
Blends in to my skin tone and you can't see a seam at all (im shade 55)
Great pump on the bottle for ease of application. Really great foundation, Ive tried dream matte mouse, and loreal infallible both of which I disliked, I use it as my every day to work make up, and use a bit of powder over it (loreal true match minerals) for going out.I don't have any bad points! I'm yet to find a better foundation - perhaps because I hate spending so much only to end up hating a product!!

★★★★★

written by celestiteaura on 01/09/2006

Probably the best quality foundation I have ever found other than the expensive brands. I use this for everyday wear as well as at night. Provides a wonderful base. Well worth the money and I'd be willing to pay a little more for this sort of quality.

“Fabulous! Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation is the...”

★★★★★

written by princesshannah on 22/08/2005

Fabulous! Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation is the first foundation I have ever bought, I didn't want a foundation which left me with a tide mark on my jawline like so many others I have seen. My friend recommended this foundation to me as we have a similar skin tone and her skin always looks lovely, I tried on the tester of Max Factor Colour Adapt in Warm Almond 45 in Boots and.. Result! It matched my skin perfectly. I tried on a few other foundations by different brands just to see if the Max Factor one was the one I want, but none of the others matched my skin tone so perfectly or blended in so smoothly.
I went back to the Max Factor aisle to find much to my grief that they were all out of the shade warm almond!!!
I cannot say that I was almost in tears as that would be a lie, but I was greatly disapointed.
Nevertheless, I went home and searched for the foundation on Google where I found it for over £3 cheaper.
I did my research and found it no where cheaper than the £8.22 on that website. (inc. postage and packaging at £1.00)
At last after a couple of days my make up arrived! Oh joy! I opened up the packaging and found the sleek bottle, I was so happy! I applied it and woah! It was fabulous!
I recomend this to everyone.!
I have freckles and it doesn't cover them up loads or anything but why would I want to plaster my face into something it's not!
Hehe go out and buy this!!!

“I have bad acne and my skin is also very dry,...”

★★★★★

written by ballababy on 30/11/2004

I have bad acne and my skin is also very dry, providing you moisturise before using Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation (as you should anyway) this is great! It blends in well, leaving a natural look, I wouldn't say it leaves skin flawless (as it claims) but then nothing does, it does make spots and blemishes a lot less obvious and gives a nice soft, gentle look. I would think if you have reasonably blemish-free skin it would make you look like a model! definitely recommended - my mate noticed an immediate difference in my skin.

And btw you don't really need any more make up with this product - maybe some mascara and that's it!

written by chickadee80 on 05/05/2004

I was amazed! Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation is truly the best foundation in the world. It is flawless. I had the most amazing looking skin after application and it lasted all day and night. I have a very uneven skin tone but you wouldn't know it with this foundation. Don't believe me? Try it, go to the max factor website and request a free sample.
