Max Factor Facefinity All day Flawless foundation (Rs 810 for 30ml ) is available at Max Factor counters.I have used many foundations from Max Factor I am always impressed by the finish they all provide.This one is a new addition to the bandwagon.
Shade – Warm Golden is slightly neutral toned shade that will suit fair skin tones more.It is slightly lighter for my skin tone as well.I have always loved Max Factor foundation but one major con is limited yellow tone shades available.Packaging – Max Factor Facefinity All day Flawless Foundation comes in a transparent glass bottle having Black colored pump dispenser which can be seen through the plastic cap. The dispenser has lock system in it. It isn’t very attractive and looks quite dull. I would call it simple, fuss free packaging but it is prone to breakage due to glass nature of the bottle.
Texture & Formula- This is basically a primer,concealer and foundation in one and I am second this statement. The texture of Max Factor Facefinity All day Flawless Foundation is quite smooth. It is slightly runny in consistency. The formula is light weight and transfer-proof. Presence of SPF 20 is another advantage. I did take photographs with flash while wearing this base. The pictures didn’t look ghostly. It settles to a matte finish but that doesn’t make the face look completely flat. I did not break out after using this foundation. I like wearing this even in hot humid climate as it doesn’t transfer to the clothes and phone. Also, it doesn’t melt or budge. One thing I would like to mention is that I can be too drying in winters and can accentuate dry flaky skin so this foundation is best suited for summers.
Pigmentation/Coverage- The foundation provides almost full coverage and I am highly impressed by the fact that even though it is so light weight and having runny consistency, it provides excellent coverage. Marks, blemishes, redness, unevenness, spots can be easily covered with this base in one layer.Staying Power- Max Factor Facefinity All day Flawless Foundation stays on my combination/oily skin for around 7-8 hours thought even after that my face feels fresh.It doesn’t budge or melt neither it oxidises.
Ease of Application- I always apply this foundation on properly moisturised face as it gets a bit too matte for my skin. It is easy to blend and can be applied with sponge or brushes.
Overall Thoughts
Max Factor Facefinity All day Flawless Foundation is another addition to ‘comfortable full coverage’ foundation list. It is decently priced, doesn’t look cakey or ashy on skin. I like the fact that it is light weight and blends easily. It is a great foundation for oily skinned beauties but it can be too drying for dry skins. Presence of SPF 20 is another boon. Also, the staying power is great but a major con is limited yellow tone shades available. Max Factor always come out with outstanding foundation formulas but the shade selection leaves many girls wanting to try them. I highly recommend this foundation if you have neutral or pink tones and require full coverage.

Thanks for the review! It does do a good job of covering the little spots but I think I’ll need something with a bit more coverage. 🙂
