Max FactorMiracle Touch Second Skin, 01-Fair, 30 ml

Lovely finish on the skin and the light colour is perfect for a freckly, strawberry blonde. The scent is heavy, however, and there's a plastic tube and cap. UPDATE: I’ve bought three or four of these over the years, but the last one from a seller called Branded Products was suspicious. No packaging, no cap and unsealed. I returned it. I might stick to Boots or Superdrug given the number of fake and dodgy cosmetic products on Amazon these days

I have not bought foundation for a long time because every time I did it was either too thick too dark or simply just seem to slide down my face..even very expensive ones. So choosing this by L’Oréal was quite a risk really but I have to say it’s one of the best I have ever had. I have mature skin not many lines but it’s changed since I was young, and I was into my make up and music back then. As I have got older I tend to leave the foundation off and just use the basics, so to buy something that was so budget friendly and have to look nice and natural without that cakey feeling was a great surprise. It’s also packaged neatly in a hand size tube which by the time u get to the end of it you don’t have to stand it on it’s end unlike bottle foundation as it’s easy to come out the tube especially as I have hand troubles. Good job L’Oréal but I guess you know that ♥️

I bought this on the recommendation of Caroline Barnes, professional make up artist and Max Factor ambassador who I follow on YouTube. She hasn’t sent me wrong yet with anything I’ve bought which she’s recommended, and they have been both Max Factor and other brands.This is a very light coverage foundation which gives you a nice even skin tone and a bit of a glow. It’s perfect for summer (and lockdown) when you want to look a bit more polished and as a light base for other make up. I usually wear quite full coverage foundation but this is a really nice change.

This is so easy to use even just blend with hands and bang you are sorted for the day at 39 I've finally found a foundation that works for me ! So happy

I normally buy Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser but had seen adverts for this product and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't very good. It felt much heavier than I'm used to and it wasn't very moisturising on my mature skin. It fell into the lines on my forehead after an hour and oxidised on my skin after a couple of hours, making me look like an oompah loompah.
