Max Factor Xperience Foundation

This was a chance discovery for me. I was in Boots buying something else about a month or so ago, and I decided to peruse the Max Factor Counter. This foundation was on offer (around £7.00) so I decided to give it a go. I matched myself up to Brown Hessian (75) which is a pretty spot on match for my skin tone.


Max Factor say:-


''Beautiful flawless skin – doesn't that mean a thick, full coverage foundation? Not with our new Xperience Weightless Foundation. Its formula contains natural jojoba extract, gives flawless coverage with a surprisingly air - light feel.''

I'm amazed by how good this foundation actually is. I was never expecting to love it as much as I do! I wouldn't say this foundation is full coverage. It is definitely more light - medium coverage in my opinion. It does however, feel light on my skin and never appears heavy or cakey. It's a lovely consistency, in no way thick nor too thin, just somewhere in between. I apply this foundation with my fingers and  always achieve a flawless application every time. Once I have applied my Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and my Fix + afterwards, it doesn't look like I'm wearing any foundation, even in a magnifying mirror!



Here it is in action. Please excuse my hair. I took the picture before I'd dried it.......






The Brown Hessian shade suits my skin with or without my fake tan on. It seems to adapt to my skin tone which is great, as I don't need to buy 2 different shades. Longevity is amazing too. Lasting a full working day and beyond. However, please bear in mind, I have dry skin, so I don't know how this foundation performs on oily skin types, it is a water based foundation though, so may be suitable. Although it's not that attractive to the eye, I'm really loving the squeezy tube too....so easy to apply with zero mess! It also has a SPF 10 which is great.


For a cheap foundation, it really feels quite high end to me! I think it's excellent value for money (usually £9.99) and I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase when I run out.
