Max Factor Foundation Colour Adapt - Porcelain 50

I didn't like it. It don't have lasting coverage and after using this product for some time, i have noticed that it caused blackheads and acne although i was regularly cleaning my face... Maybe it was just to heavy formula for my skin..Anyway i think people with combination and oily skin should definitely try something else.

This is one of the foundations I used for a relatively long period as a teenager. I want to stress that it was a good while ago now, and the formula might've changed or my memory might be a bit fuzzy. Either way, this foundation had what I was looking for then - full coverage above all else. It came out really thick, and you had to really work it into the skin (I used my fingers) before it dried. Again, I liked that then and you probably will too if you're looking for a thick product that gives full coverage, but today I'd rather have a product that doesn't feel heavy or cakey on my skin. And therefore this product isn't It for me. As for packaging, it's a plus that you can see how much is left in the dispenser. But it feels extremely cheap and plastic-y and adds to the "meh" factor of this foundation.

I have brought two of these Colour Adapt Foundations and am undecided on it. The positives: If you have clear skin this would be ideal for you as it evens out the complexion well. I do not find it too oily which I have found with a lot of Max Factor foundations and the finish is quite matte, so you only need a little loose powder over the top to set it. The negatives: As with the other reviews, I have found that it is not a very long lasting foundation, with it starting to wear off after a few hours, especially when on a night out, so I'd suggest taking a concealer stick with you: however it is much longer lasting with a powder on top :) I also find that it sets weird in any little line on your face, and also does not set nicely on healing acne...however I'm sure if you used a face primer this wouldn't be the case :) Overall quite a good buy, however I'm still looking for my holy grail foundation :p

i have olive skin and wear the shade 70 (natural) which as true to the name, was a perfect match when first put on. However during the day the foundation would become more orange because it oxidizes during the day. It would be perfect if it stay the same after i applied i, but having oily skin, the foundation feels uncomfortably heavy to wear as the day goes on. I would recommend a matte foundation for anyone with oily skin. The No7 matte foundation has much better reviews and is around the same price

I have very pale skin naturally and find it very hard to find foundations to match my skin tone. I decided to try Max Factor Colour Adapt foundation in a Creamy Ivory shade as a friend had sworn by it. I paid approximately £10 which is around the usual amount i spend on a foundation which i aim to last me a few months. I was very impressed with this foundation when i first applied it. The colour of the skin on my made up face still matched my neck and i had no blotches or dodgy foundation lines. I usually put a lot of face powder on top of my foundation but when i have Colour Adapt on i dont need to as it has a nice finish by itself. The only downside is that after a few hours on a night out in a warm club i do need to reapply it but that would be the same with any foundation at the places i go to so i don't mind this too much. Will definitely buy again :)
