“Lasting Performance Discontinued. What will I do?!!!?”
Written on: 04/12/2011 by Susanjdate
I have been using Max Factor Lasting Performance base for years and years. It is the best drug store brand in the U.S. market. It provides incredibly natural coverage. No one can tell that I am wearing any foundation. Could someone PLEASE recommend a comparable product? Max Factor's Pan Stick is not at all similar. (read more)

I am too. I've used this for years and all the others are too greasy or heavy. I frequently couldn't find it in stock so it must have been popular. Please bring it back!

I have been using this foundation for about five of six months now, and i dont not use it much, the foundation itself is fantastic and value for money. But and this is a big but i am very pale skinned and i own two shades of this foundation, neither of them work with my skin, one is too dark and the other seems to pink on my skin, i would love it if maxfactor came out with a wider range in colours. Although this is a common problem for me and i always have to mix my foundations. The smell is... (read more)

I have been using Max Factor Lasting Performance 26 years. I have freckles and wanted to hide them as a teenager. I also never wanted to be seen without make-up on my face. I was a lifeguard and used this foundation everyday. Due to me wearing this particular foundation I believe I was able to save my skin. It had a sunscreen inside. That is not why I wore it, I just wanted great coverage. I am older now, and so thankful I wore this makeup. NOW, I am unable to find this at Wal-Mart or... (read more)

I also love this foundation and when I saw that Target and Walmart were no longer selling Max Factor, I did some research. The products were removed from the US market due to poor sales,so looks like we will have to pay more for it and more in shipping, too. I am VERY fair and Pale Ivory is the only color that matches my skin and gives me the coverage I like without looking like a mask.

Has anyone found a "comparable" foundation? I can't imagine having to use an overseas supplier.

i've been using this Max Factor Lasting Performance foundation for over 10yrs i've tried others but always come back to it. It doesn't have the high slip like covergirl or others do (FYI slip aka the viscosity of the fluid, higher the "slip" the thinner the liquid). I would call this a full cover foundation, easy to put on just a little dap or build for flawless coverage. stays put all day doesn't melt or sweat off b/c its water based it won't cause breakouts like an oil based foundation...

Written on: 04/08/2009
After 3 years of refusing to pay over £5 for a foundation, i finally got sick of having to apply it 3 times a day and with constant marks all over my clothes. I didn't want to go to clinque or anything on the expensive side of boots in my great town of Walsall
Maxfactor looked decent so i flopped over there and brought the Maxfactor Long lasting foundation in i think 106 the Natural Beige
i thought at the time that it was quite expensive however after using this product for a couple of...

i have been using max factor lasting performance for two years now, i have quite bad skin with my teenage acne and found this was the only foundation that covered it well without causing me to break out and stop my skin being able to breathe like other foundations i have tried. i would not use any other product, i use fair 100 as i am naturally pale however there is a good range of colours and after iv been on holiday i can still find a colour that matches my skin well. the foundation does...

I've been using Max Factor Lasting Performance for years and I LOVE IT! Because the shades are either too light or too dark I tend to mix the lightest shade with a somewhat neutral to get the perfect shade.
It has amazing coverage and it's also very light on your skin. It last for a very long time up 24hrs that's for sure, it never rubs of on your clothes and it looks very natural with a flawless finish

Written on: 28/01/2009 by D Smith
All of the colors of the Max Factor Lasting Performance makeup appear to me to be flat, dull dead-like and yellowish colors...and, on the back of my hand, were pasty and very unattractive. I have been a user of Whipped Creme moisturizing creme (shimmering beige) for years and am extremely disappointed with what you have chosen as a "replacement". I have been a Max Factor customer for most of my adult life and my mother before me. I will not buy your current makeup and will search for a... (read more)

I use the 100 fair Max Factor Lasting Performance foundation, and I have to say it's the best foundation I've ever used. I used to use M.A.C., but found it stung my face a little, so now I use Max Factor, and it's also saving me money too. Wish it was a bigger bottle though. (read more)

Written on: 15/12/2007
I have used colour 109, beige bronze on my naturally pale face to match my more tanned body successfully for many years and can't find nothing better. I only use a very small amount after using a moisturiser so that it goes on and blends well. No makeup line if you take it beyond the jaw line, it covers all blemishes and tightens skin. It makes me look younger, is an excellent product. Don't ever take it off! (read more)

Written on: 20/05/2007 by xxpinkx07xx
I've got very fair skin, and although I didn't want a foundation that's completely white, I want something that actually works for people with pale skin. I chose the Max Factor Lasting Performance foundation in the lightest shade (fair), and although it wasn't completely orange, it does leave a noticeable makeup line.
It covers fairly well, especially if you apply it with a brush, and it leaves your skin looking a lot smoother. Unlike some foundations, it didn't leave my skin with an odd...

Written on: 03/10/2006 by FrostyJane (9 reviews written)
I thought I'd try this Max Factor Lasting Performance due to my old foundation being discontinued. I have pale/ivory skin tone so I bought the palest shade they had 100 fair. I tried the tester in Boots but their lighting is so bright you can't really try the product properly till you buy and get home. So naturally the foundation, to my disappointment, was a little on the pinkish side, never the less I gave it a go. I liked the idea of Lasting Performance hoping it would last all day but...

I only use Max Factor Lasting Performance. I have problem skin which needs to be evened out and I love this product, it stays matte all day and lasts forever. If you end up staying out and don't remove your make up before bed, you'll find it still perfectly in place in the morning just like it's been freshly applied!! The foundation dries quite quickly on the skin so you have to act quickly to blend it all in. I'd always recommend applying moisturiser prior to help with this. I'd invest in... (read more)

Written on: 16/12/2005 by xMeLx (4 reviews written)
I have bought Max Factor Lasting Performance twice (in soft beige), I bought it the second time mainly because it was the right colour and lasted all day, even on my oily skin. I also thought it was reasonably priced at approximately 8.99.
The foundation wasn't particularly easy to blend and was quite hard to get out of the bottle. It left my skin looking shiny, and so plenty of powder was needed. It also sunk into my pores around and on my nose, which are quite big and left me with small...

Written on: 05/09/2005 by beaheretic (2 reviews written)
When I shop for foundations, the qualities that most stand out for me are smoothness, matte-ness and colour, however I have recently added long wear to the list due to my busy lifestyle.
I have been quite disappointed in the past by other brands, such as Revlon Colourstay, and Almay Amazing Lasting make-up that claims to stay on for 16 hours. None of them had tones that were light enough for my skin (I'm very pale). It's more frustrating when brands stock shades starting from 02, instead...

It is still available on Amazon.com. I just ordered some. I am surprised also. It is the best makeup I've ever used.

Try the Cover Girl Natureluxe Line. Cover Girl bought Max Factor. I truly believe they are the same product
