Colour Adapt Foundation by Max Factor

Hello my berries,

So I purchased this on a whim because I saw it and thought- why not? And I have to say I have now changed my earlier comment to why? The reason for this change of heart is because I really hate this foundation. To be honest, I really am not a foundation lover as my skin isn't bad at all and I usually just use concealer to save time and money, but that doesn't mean that I don't like to wear it for special occasions or sometimes I need to wear foundation for shows.

To start, the packaging is pretty horrible as it is quite cheap looking and very plastic. However the range of shades isn't bad at all as it has a range of shades both dark and very pale, with different variations of both yellow and pink undertones which is good. My shade appeared to be blushing beige, but it turned out to be way to pink for me.

First of, the pump is convenient like most pumps and works well, and the foundation wasn't runny. I used my fingers to apply the foundation which seemed to work, as the foundation is quite easy to blend. My problem was that when I looked at the final effect, after just one layer, it looked caky and patchy. I hate looking like I have a thick layer of makeup on, and this definitely made me look like that. Sometimes, I would forgive this if the coverage was good, but its really not.  It covered my redness around my nose and chin, but it did not cover any blemishes or eye bags/veins at all and I really wasn't impressed. It is meant to be a light coverage foundation and paired with the watery consistency you think it would look pretty and natural, but it did the opposite. It just made my skin look like it a had a thick layer of foundation on and the coverage really wasn't very good at all so personally I wouldn't even bother to try this.

See you next time!
xoxo
