In the fall, Max Factor launched the latest in face tones - Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony. Translated into Russian, this means "healthy harmonious skin." Before spending about six hundred rubles on this foundation, I would like to understand whether the name of this product reflects reality. And for this, you need to study reviews about him.
First of all, it’s interesting to know what the manufacturer promises.
- Skin when using this tonal foundation looks better.
- The cream has a degree of protection against ultraviolet light SPF 20.
- The face is moisturized during the day.
- Does not provoke sebum secretion, so the face does not shine.
- Contains Vitamin Complex.
- It has 18 shades.
Reviews
As it usually happens, reviews about Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony Miracle are divided. Here's what the girls who liked the novelty write:
- The coating gives an even semi-matte tone.
- Creamy-powder texture allows you to lie on your face with an even layer.
- Glass bottle and comfortable pump. The dispenser does not clog, since the cream itself is a semi-liquid consistency.
- Protection factor SPF 20. Protection from sunlight is necessary both in summer and in winter, because ultraviolet light harms the skin even through a layer of clouds. Although for the summer season, this degree of protection is too small, but still better than nothing.
- The foundation does not dry and does not tighten the skin, does not cause discomfort.
- Large selection of shades in the color palette.
As for the negative reviews about Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony, there are many more than positive ones.
Cons of the product, according to users
- Although the manufacturer offers a large number of shades, only a few options are presented in stores, especially there are not enough light colors. And for our country, where the majority of white-skinned people, this is a significant drawback.
- Judging by the reviews of Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony, different shades give the same red tint and leave yellow stains on the face.
- Since the manufacturer claims that this foundation has a moisturizing effect, girls with dry skin happily bought it. But, unfortunately, this tool perfectly emphasizes any peeling on the face, which often happens on skin prone to dryness.
- 3-5 hours after application, an oily sheen appears on the T-zone, although the company claims that the product has a shine control. Perhaps this is so, but only for a few hours.
- According to user reviews, Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony Foundation emphasizes wrinkles and enlarged pores.
- Absolutely does not hide redness, spots, freckles and acne. That is, it is not suitable for those whose skin has even the slightest imperfections.
- Some women report an unpleasant, pungent odor that disappears a couple of hours after applying this base.
- The manufacturer promises hydration, but moisturizing ingredients are not indicated in the composition of the foundation (for example, glycerin or aloe vera). Moreover, the composition includes too many harmful elements, even for such a budget cream.
- Ugly stains remain on the black pump.
After studying many reviews of Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony, we can conclude that this foundation is intended for women who have normal, without a tendency to dryness and oily, smooth skin without flaws. And yes, the name “Harmonious Healthy Skin” does not justify this tonal foundation.
