Max Factor

Do not buy lipstick unless there are testers – There shades are totally different to whats displayed at the back of lipstick. I bought two lipsticks, both were total waste of money , there were no testers to check. The beautiful plum shade shown in the lipstick end s actually an ugly dark purple shade. Total waste of money.

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 – Can anyone please explain to me that I can no longer buy this product without "up to 30 hours wear"? The formula has definitely changed and I have found that I'm allergic to it whereas I had no problem with the original product. (By the way who leaves makeup on their face for 30 hours?) Not happy Jan!!!!! Christine

Best mascara you can get! – Easy to locate as the brand has remained very similar throughout the year. This is the best mascara I have ever used and it is a pity most stores don't store it anymore. Never smudge, doesn't clutter on your eyelashes and so easy to use. It is easy to remove even and the waterproof really works.

The ultimate lippy found by accident! – I'm always on the lookout for a great lippy; moisturising, a pink/mauve/nude hue that goes with everything. I got the Max Factor lippy in Simply Nude (shade 725) from ebay for $10.79 and it's excellent. Super smooth on lips and comes in a very chic gold case. Love it!

Has been my go to foundation for 30 odd years – Activated with water, the Max Factor pancake make up is the bomb. You can adjust the coverage and it covers redness and minimises pores. They repackaged a couple of years ago but looks like they may have pulled the plug on it. Tragic!!

max factor masterpiece mascara ## RUBBISH## – tried once, rubbish. tried again, RUBBISH. and that's where I put it. Maybelline Sky High a MUCH BETTER option. 1 star rating way too good for this awful product.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Waterproof Volume Mascara – It's not great. It barely coats the brush therefore numerous applications are required and still with poor results. Didn't lengthen my lashes at all. Very disappointed in this popular leading brand.

Wont be buying more Max Factor Radiant Lift Foundation – This seems to be the replacement for the foundation I absolutely loved, Max Factor Ageless Elixir which I’m pretty sad is no more and I’m obviously not the only one, judged by its popularity on ebay. It had a wonderful texture, colour and absolutely super dispensing bottle that actually worked and carried well. It was light in the handbag and… Read more

among other things didn’t spill. What ever has possessed you, Max Factor in replacing such a good foundation with this hopelessly badly packaged new makeup now in a heavy glass bottle, with THE most stupid unworkable ‘applicator wand’, that I’ve ended up pulling out and ditching, as it spirts the foundation and spills the makeup out of the bottle constantly! This causes such wastage. Added to that the lid on the bottle does not ever seal properly so it will never be going in the handbag. It is so tiresome to use this stuff due to these basic errors, AND it costs about three times the dollars of the old one which is the other big minus.

Bring back the old stuff I say. I won’t be buying this again, even though I admit the makeup itself was not the worst I have used, it is not a patch on the one you have taken off the market. There are some better substitutes out there which are cheaper and are that are packaged much more practicably.

Misleading consumer – I was drawn to the promotional display in Priceline advertising the miracle Glow Duo. Buy the Miracle Glow Duo and receive a mini primer for free. The assistant advised that there were no primers left and no other free offers available when purchasing this product. I reluctantly purchased the Miracle Glow Due but felt quite cheated and mislead as a consumer.

Max Factor Calorie 2000 Mascara Discontinued???? – I have been a loyal MF Calorie 2000 user since it came out both the straight and curved brush, in fact I would buy both at the same time. I have converted many family and friends and always got complements for mu eye lashes. What I now find is that the Calorie 2000 section in stores is nearly always empty and all the other MF Mascaras are… Read more

packed...now that would tell me how popular the original product is. I asked my Chemist why they are not stocking it anymore and pointed out my frustration that it is always empty. I was told that they just stock what the Max Factor Rep gives them...Now it's not rocket science to figure out that of course the rep will push the stock that is not moving. I explained that this way of providing customers with products is counter productive as I for one will stop shopping at their store if I am now unable to purchase the products I like. Companies need to stop treat us consumers as mindless idiots. I now search the Internet and buy it in bulk. My question to Companies like Max Factor why phase out a product that is obviously popular and has been so for some time, because savvy shoppers will simply try other brands and stop looking at your products. As the saying goes -"If it aint broke don't fix it"

Awful eyeliner! – There were two main things that did not work for me about this eyeliner. 1. Occasionally it was as if it was "dry" and I'd have to press quite hard and go over the area over and over. Ouch! 2. Small bits would break off as I'm applying it. Lost a huge amount of product this way. Also, having crumbling eyeliner stuck in your eyelashes sucks. I'm going back to my Revlon Colorstay. Never had those issues with them.

Love the foundation and mascara – The mascara does not wear off fast. It is not itchy even if i use it for an entire day all through the night. The foundation evens out blemishes and smoothens the face. It tends to mask out even the dark circles as sometimes I don't have the time to dab on on concealer t remove dark circles under my eyes. It is a god product although much more expensive than other local brands.

Max factor clump defy – Max factor clump defy in the purple is hands down the best mascara I have ever used. I've tried high end products, but nothing compares to this product. It makes lashes so thick without leaving them clumpy.

Great products – I can't even count all bottles, tubes and other containers of useless beauty products I have lying around. I've always had problems finding the right foundation but Max Factor's Facefinity is perfection. I finally found my colour match, and the product has decent coverage and lasting power. It's not too creamy or oily, it's not too mattifying or… Read more

powdery-like, it's just perfect for my skin. I don't even have to use concealer and it is easy to apply with a brush or fingers. Their False Lash Effect mascara is also ace. It gives volume from the base and envelops and separates each lash for really voluptuous looking eyelashes. No clumps, no smudges. These are definitely my top beauty products. Great quality products

Review for Masterpiece Max mascara – I’ve used many Max Factor products, so I won’t review all of them. I recommend the quality of their lipsticks which have good longevity and they feel comfortable to wear. I have tried most of the Max Factor mascaras, and a few of them sting my eyes – not severely, but just enough to be noticeable. I’ve recently been using Masterpiece Max, and I… Read more

think it might become one of my favourite mascaras. So far, it hasn’t stung my eyes. Its formula is buildable and I can apply several layers to achieve good volume. I do not like mascaras that have huge brushes, and Masterpiece Max’s brush is a smaller size than many others on the market. I will buy Masterpiece Max again.

Pan Stick Great! – I usually always use Napoleon stick foundation but to save money I purchased Max Factor Pan Stick and havent looked back! I like full coverage and Max Factor Pan Stick does it :) Its cheap, smells great and goes on and rubs in quite nice :) Does rub off onto my clothes easy but nothing major, makes my redness disappear and blends in beautifully :)… Read more

cheap, smells great, full coverage, looks great :) Not much foundation in one stick, does rub off onto clothes easily

Terrible – Pan cake make-up looks exactly as the name suggests - like cake. it shows up every single little line and wrinkle and even seems to add some of it's own - although how exactly it does this I can not imagine. What I really hate though is the tide-line where the make-up ends and your real skin texture begins. even when you buy the best colour for… Read more

your complexion, it is still really hard to blend it in. I looks so, so unatural and there are so many great products around that I am not sure why any one would wish to use this one. Usually i like Max Factor though not sure why they still market this one i actually like most max factor products, but for pan-stick and pan-cake. i think they hang on to products that possibly came out of the arc -- I remember my Grandma using pan-stick , it looked pretty bad on her too

What a hopeless product, would not buy again – I purchased this product (Lipfinity by Maxfactor) as they maintained it would last up to 10 hours not matter what you did - eat, drink, kiss etc., but what did get is a bomber. It does not last, not even one hour! Why pay a price with all the expectations only to find it is absolutely no good! I wish I could get a refund or some compensation for… Read more

such a loss of good money and expectation. Can anything be done? I would appreciate so comensation.

Expensive and didn't live up to advertisment

LipFinity Lasting Lip Tint - Doesn't Last! – Purchased Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint today - want my money back! Colour gone in less than 30 minutes, even with no eating, drinking, kissing! Colour bled from edges of lips too. For a 'brand name' costing $20 I expect more! I'm sure my kids' colouring textas would do a better job! Sorry! I give this the Thumbs down! I'll be going back tomorrow to… Read more

see how I go about getting my money back! I suggest not wasting your time or money purchasing this product.

Doesn't last 1/2 an hour - colour bled! Utterly useless!

Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint Pen – The advertising said it was long lasting, kiss-proof etc for several hours. It went on nicely and looked good. But it was TOTALLY GONE in less than half an hour!! That's without any eating, drinking OR kissing! I was very annoyed as it wasn't cheap. So I took it back to the shop where I bought it from and they gave me a full refund (Thank you… Read more

Priceline!) I would not recommend it at all. DON'T BUY IT!! The colour. Didn't live up to the advertising of being "long lasting". Didn't last at all.

Excellent – Love the foundations, the eyeshadows.. can't wait to try more products. It's just a really good quality brand that is affordable. I've just upgraded to MaxFactor. Really great range with great colours. Great coverage foundation and so nice goes on like a mousse (colour adapt). Definately one of myf ave brands! Love the Colour Adapt Foundation -… Read more

goes on so easily and lasts all day. Such a good quality brand. Also love the eyeshadows - go on easily, lasts long and just overall good quality! Love the lip gloss too. My favourite brand!! Love it. None - a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

Max Factor Lasting performance Foundatio in Bronze – A fantastic smooth foundation that didn't clog my pores or irritate my extra sensitive skin. This also found that it last's a good 6-8 hours before I needed to touch it up. Cheap if purchased on Ebay Australia, with a non caky long lasting look. Expensive if purchased at a pharmacy.

Max Factor – I really do like all Max Factor products and think they have a great variety of foundation, lip gloss, lip stick, masacara and eye liners colours/types. It's not the first brand I look for when I enter the store, but none the less it still definitely deserves a 5 out of 5. Most of their products are inexpensive. A reliable, well known brand.… Read more

Great variety of all products. Some of there products can be overpriced, considered the not so great quality.

Excellent – I recently purchased the PanStik. I love it! It has wonderful coverage, long lasting and a pleasant smell. It's the only foundation I have found that matches my skin tone. Quite often on sale, well known brand, easy to use

Excellent – My favourite collection would have to be their foundation products. Lots of different types as well as colours, provides fantastic coverage which lasts! It is a quality brand without the huge price tag. Small cost to pay for the benefits it delivers, worth trying out their collection! The foundation isn’t too thick and it won’t flake, smear or run… Read more

no matter what conditions I happen to be present in. It provides a variety of different products from foundations to lip-glosses that suit your skin needs and preferences. Max Factor is definitely worth giving a chance! You won’t be disappointed! I will continue to try the rest of the range that Max Factor has to offer. Foundation lasts a long period of time, excellent coverage, simple to use and fantastic quality. Affordable and certainly delivers what it claims!

Excellent – I just purchased panstick and i cant believe how amazing this product is. I bought it to use as a concealer or for touch ups and although it is thick you only need a light application for full coverage and it covers everything without looking cakey or becoming oily. Excellent coverage. Not a great range of shades.

Excellent – Great product I use their foundation and have done since forever. I find that the makeup really stays all day and doesn’t rub off on your clothes like many other brands. The makeup is quite thick but once you put it on it doesn’t feel like it’s really heavy. It also is colour stay which means it really doesn’t rub off and lasts all day. The makeup… Read more

is expensive compared to other brands but you don’t need much and it does last for a couple of months for some one that wears foundation every day. Great product and I would defiantly recommend. Just a really great product nothing i love Max factor

Excellent – i love Max Factor mascaras so much. they are the best i have ever used. they are a bit pricey than other brand, but totally worth it. i have tried the Masterpiece, Masterpiece Max and 2000 Calorie mascaras. i love the rubber brush design. masterpiece gives a more natural defining finsh while masterpiece max gives more volumn. 2000 calorie is very… Read more

good too which gives very good volumn boost to my lashes. they are definitely worth to try. highly recommend!! Max Factor mascaras are the BEST. they delieve what they claim. the products are a little pricey, but totally worth it.

Excellent – I cant comment on the rest of the range of maxfactor, I figure if it aint broke dont fix it but having said that I just adore their mascara range and dont use anything else! They dont go clumpy or are too wet like some mascaras that end up everywhere but your lashes! doesnt dry really hard either so they're easy to remove at the end of a big night… Read more

Great range of mascaras that really give my eyes that "WOW" factor, I dont buy mascara from any other manufacturer because I love Maxfactors so much! Little on the pricey side compared to some of its competitors but I believe thats for good reason.

Excellent – I'm a big fan of Max Factor, they have quality products that aren't as expensive as designer makeup brands. It's still more expensive than 'drugstore' brands though, but I would be willing to pay that extra amount. My favourite products is the masterpiece mascara, a mascara that doesn't clump at all, and it has an awesome brush! Such an innovative… Read more

brand! I think they were the first to create the brush-comb mascara, and it works so well. Usually there are little or no stands Max Factor stands, I only know of a few. The prices are higher than some other brands.

Good – This review is about the new Max Factor Natural Minerals Foundation which I purchased recently. From going without wearing make up daily I now find I use this most days as it gives you a natural look without screaming 'face full of make up'. It's oil free and doesn't clog your pores. It comes with a nifty little brish that forms part of the… Read more

packaging. Price point around $30 which is what you expect to pay for quality. Available everywhere. Easy to apply and a great finish. You invariably end up with some on the floor or bathroom vanity.

Excellent – I highly recommend MAX FACTOR's foundation range for anyone looking for good foundation at affordable prices. I have found their foundation to provide flawless finish and lasts longer than other products like Revlon. I recommend blending the foundation with your fingers for good results. My favourite product is Max Factor's Flawless Foundation.… Read more

The primer glides smoothly on my face providing a perfect base for the liquid foundation that comes as step two. I am able to control the extent of the foundation applied , whether it be I want a thicker cover up or a more casual day look.

Excellent – Max Factor is high quality but reasonably priced. Their mascara is the best I have found. It does not clump or flake and is very gentle on the eye. The straight or curved brush is available but I prefer the straight for easy application. Their Lipfinity lipstick is also amazing. It really does live up to the claims of staying on all day. It… Read more

is a two part lipstick with the colour base coat and a shiny moisturising top coat that is like a gloss. It must be removed with make-up remover at night. Max Factor has the best mascara on the market.

Max factor facefinity compact – Excellent. Been using for 20 years. Lovely finish day or night Show reply
