Max Factor powders delight girls all over the world with their quality and perfect coating. The brand produces cosmetics for different skin types, which causes sympathy among fans of this brand. Especially popular products for facial skin.
History of creation
The brand’s founder, Maximilian Abramovich Faktorovich, was a native of Poland. In his youth, he worked as an apprentice, moved to the Russian Empire and got an assistant in the dressing room of the Bolshoi Theater at the age of 14. From this began his long journey in the world of transformation.
After serving in the army, he opened his first cosmetics store in Ryazan, but most of the time he was occupied with consulting actors who he was pleased to talk about how best to apply cosmetics for the best result. Having become a famous make-up artist, Max Factor moved to St. Petersburg, where he was engaged in the makeup of actors in the imperial theaters of Nicholas II. In 1904, he migrated to America, where he founded the Max Factor company, which became so popular.
She positioned herself as a brand providing services for theater and film studios. With the development of technology in the field of cinema, new problems arose in the make-up of actors. Old greasy-based cosmetics didn’t look good on the screen, and the owner of the company came up with the idea of ​​using a lighter concealer, which was made not in the form of hardened sticks, but in the liquid version.
From the very beginning, work went towards creating a natural coating that can emphasize beauty and hide flaws. Over time, and thanks to the competent successors of the company, the goal was successfully achieved, and now girls all over the world can enjoy light and harmless facial cosmetics.
Brand Tools
The Max Factor company justifies its popularity with high-quality and long-lasting cosmetics, which can be easily relied on even on the most important and crucial days when you need to look your best. With tonal products and powders from this brand, you can look great all day long without worrying about your appearance.
Any woman wants to shine and be beautiful in everything, therefore, preferring to use face powder from one manufacturer, they also choose other means of the same company. A well-known fact: decorative cosmetics from one brand or even from the same series have greater compatibility, do not roll under each other and hold well on the skin, showing external smoothness and the absence of imperfections.
Compact CREME PUFF
Now available in three types of compact powder "Max Factor". "Poof" is a creamy version, suitable for girls with very dry skin, as it softens dead skin pieces that are noticeable when using loose products.
It is recommended to apply it in a wet way, for this there is a double-sided sponge inside the box. On the one hand, it can be used as usual for dry use, while the other side has a more porous structure. It is convenient to wet it a little, and then the product will lay a smooth and even layer on the skin.
With all this, cream cream "Max Factor" mattifies the skin, but leaves a slight radiance. It does not leave yellow spots on light skin and does not go pink.
Cream shades
On the official website in the Cream Pouf palette, there are seven shades: both light and dark. Truly Fair is suitable for transparent, white-pink skin, and Medium Beige will look good on dark and tanned skin. A suitable color is best chosen in the store, trying to apply a little powder on the back of the hand. Before buying, it is better to go outside and carefully look at how it looks under bright daylight. That is how it will look on the face, and since this tool is more dense than the rest, any differences in shades can be fatal.
A variety of shades of powder "Max Factor" will allow you to choose the right color without difficulty. The dense coating is easy to apply and well conceals imperfections.
Crisp Loose Powder
Owners of normal and combination problem-free skin will enjoy Loose Powder, which is pleasant to use. It is presented in only one transparent shade, suitable for any skin color.
Loose powder "Max Factor" is designed to even out the color and dullness of the skin, hiding small imperfections. It can be used both as an independent and as a fixing agent, ideal for lovers of light and inconspicuous makeup, as well as those who would like to extend the stability of the foundation.
Due to its texture, it may not be suitable for owners of dry skin, as it will most likely emphasize peeling. Although the powder is invisible on the face, it must be washed off carefully to avoid clogging of pores.
Facefinity
Reviews about the powder "Max Factor" are mostly positive, but in most cases they are from girls with dark and combination skin. For them, the product is excellent, as it has a dense and persistent texture, sticks to the skin for a long time and does not "float away", does not clog the pores of the face.
Feysfiniti has a nice package, the lid snaps firmly and does not open in the purse without the desire of the hostess. The kit includes a mirror and sponge. It does not dust and does not crumble in use, in addition, it is provided, albeit small, but protection from the sun. Its only minus is leaving in a red tint right on the face some time after use, which is completely invisible on dark and dark skin.
The legendary face powder by Max Factor
It is unlikely that in the modern world there is at least one girl who is not familiar with this bestseller. Feysfiniti has always been and remains in the accessible segment of cosmetics, while retaining its qualities, such as durability, density, protection against ultraviolet radiation (SPF 15).
Thanks to its compact and convenient packaging with good contents, it has won the hearts of women. This powder is preferred by many Russian and Hollywood stars.
Palette
One of the important disadvantages of Facefinity is the inability to successfully find a shade for very fair skin. All the colors in this powder are naturally beige and dark, giving a little red. Even the lightest “porcelain”, although it remains light immediately after application, but after a while it begins to darken directly on the skin.
For those whose complexion is darker or tanned, it will do just fine. Facefinity is available in shades of "porcelain", "ivory", "natural", "sand", "gold", "bronze", "toffee".
The basics
Initially, powders were not created as an independent make-up tool, but as fixing tonal foundations. With their help, you can be sure that dense, fat-based cosmetics will not leak from the face, and the shine will not be too provocative.
So was developed and the famous powder from the "Max Factor" Facefinity, which in its lineup also has a tonal base and Facefinity All Day primer. According to the right technology, first a clear primer is applied to clean skin. Its task is to mattify the skin, remove excess sebum and smooth out imperfections, but the main thing remains the ability to hold the foundation on itself for much longer than on bare skin. In addition, the primer contains SPF 20, which, undoubtedly, is its big plus.
After it is absorbed, a foundation is used. Although it is persistent in itself, and also does not give excess shine, it warms up on the skin over time and suffers from surrounding weather conditions. This is where fixing powder is needed, which can be applied on top of the makeup a couple of times a day so that the beauty brought in in the morning remains in place.
Creme Puff may be difficult to apply on top of the foundation. Wet application makes it already like a cream, which means that it does not need additional foundation or strengthening.
Loose Powder is suitable for any foundation. It is light and transparent, does not roll into lumps on another basis and does not change the color of the coating.
How to apply and how to rinse
Each of the above powders contains puffs or sponges for applying makeup, but in practice they are often not very convenient. It has long been proven that the most practical and convenient way are special brushes. They are different in both form and type of pile. To powder your face, it is best to use a wide round brush. For friable powder, a natural pile of medium softness is well suited, so it will remain invisible on the skin, while it can perform its immediate functions: fix the tonal base and matte the skin.
As for the cream Creme Puff, a brush with a hard synthetic pile is just the right fit for it, it will be better to pick up the powder and evenly distribute it over the skin with a wet application method.
A brush made of natural goat fur will help to accurately use the "Fasfiniti". The powder of this line is densely pressed, and thick, dense and porous hair will cope with it by five points.
What to choose
All three powders are good and seduce with their incomparable quality. However, many are trying to make a choice in favor of only one tool, so it would be productive to summarize the pros and cons.
Pros: persistent and self-contained powder, convenient for wet application, suitable for sponge and synthetic brush, matting for several hours.
Cons: discomfort during repeated application due to density, poor fastening of the lid on the package, lack of a mirror.
Pros: transparent, fixes the tonal foundation, matting, not felt on the face.
Cons: not intended for use as an independent tool (exception: clean skin without imperfections, for matting the skin), inconvenient for storage in a bag.
Pros: strong and convenient packaging, durability and dense coating, does not dust, is evenly distributed on the face.
Cons: not suitable for fair skin, goes into a redhead after application, may emphasize peeling.
