Natural all the way, with Max Factor Natural Minerals Foundation
Have you ever thought what would makeup be called if the word itself wasn’t coined at all? And, how would women flaunt their joie de vivre lips if the lip gloss wasn’t invented at all? Also, how would the actors look without the shades of cosmetic greasepaint that is quintessential for their act? Certainly, the golden years of Hollywood wouldn’t be any glorious if the intimate association of Max Factor with yesteryear movies wasn’t so strong.
When the company was formed in 1909 by Maximilian Faktorowicz, fondly known as Max Factor, little did he imagine the brand name to become today’s forerunner in the business of makeup and cosmetic revolution. Today, Max Factor is regarded as a highly innovative brand in the cosmetic industry proven by several number of patents it holds along with impeccable world-wide success. Accredited with many cosmetic innovations, this global brand offers a complete cosmetic solution for face, eyes and lips splendor.
Max Factor
As a known fact, Max Factor’s innovative products deliver dramatic look transformations to all the users alike. Along with meeting women’s need for their daily requirements like foundation, concealer, bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner, lips stick, nail paints et al, Max Factor constantly strives to produce natural and environment friendly products that offer equally mind-boggling results. One of them is the Max Factors latest, natural minerals foundation. While the Max Factor anti ageing/anti renew and long lasting flawless perfection foundation are well-liked among women, the relatively new ‘natural minerals foundation’ has also become quite a rage.
Max Factor’s natural minerals foundation

Heavy foundation is old fashioned and passé… hence, this new natural minerals foundation from Max Factor provides gentle, easy and smooth treatment that smoothes imperfections and provides a glowing natural healthy look. Its ground-breaking formula includes minerals that are amongst the softest on earth. The foundation works evenhanded, ultra-fine and clump free that allows delicate coverage; exactly as one may want it.
Natural minerals foundation
Unlike many other chalky and pale foundations, Max Factor’s natural minerals foundation casts a subtle glow across the skin, enhancing healthy colors and ensuring pigments show their full vitality. Composed of ultra-fine particles, this natural mineral foundation comes fragrance free. Its skin-boosting ingredients are ideal for both, sensitive and regular skin.
The natural minerals foundation comes with a unique concave dispenser and 100% natural handy brush that is almost similar to a blusher brush, where one can tenderly dab the brush into the foundation and gently brush onto the face. For best results, one may try to start at the top and sweep into a heat shape to the bottom. Also, using the same motion all the way into the tip of the nose, apparently gives a great coverage too.
Go natural!
The foundation comes in a medley of colours, those are - among other: Creamy Ivory, Warm Almond, Sand, Golden and Bronze (60, 75, 80). Just like our world traveling make up artist Alex (he uses these minerals on his models regularly!), its time we also go natural. Indubitably, the natural minerals foundation makes a perfect weapon to a healthy and fresh foundation look.

I’ve been thinking about trying out this product,I have a bit of oily skin and I don’t like heavy coverage so maybe this would work for me. nice Review.

It’s not made for oily skin.
As my copywriter above says: “… this new natural minerals foundation from Max Factor provides gentle, easy and smooth treatment that smoothes imperfections and provides a glowing natural healthy look” - and: “Max Factor’s natural minerals foundation casts a subtle glow across the skin, enhancing healthy colors…”
… so if you already have oily skin, I suppose you want to matte it, in stead of let it glow even more. ;-)
Nor it’s made for dry skin. Some folks even advise to moisture your skin very well before using this product, as it doesn’t go well with dry skin either.
That’s why I often use it as kinda blush or bronzer, say “finishing touch” on a top of base (foundation + loose powder), rather then as a foundation on it’s own, despite product name.
The clue is, you can’t use this as stand alone product. At least, I wouldn’t recommend to use it that way.
Take a look at the side face (between the cheek and her ear) of this hunter woman…. that 4th (last, glamour one) picture from above. That’s what you can do with this stuff.

Nice post. Personally I find Max Factor’s gone off a bit in recent years but my sister still digs it.

As a photographer, I always wanted my models to have a glowing face that do not only rely with lights and effects.Max factor does that. I love the bronze, it give’s the face a different glow. Max factor also stays longer compared to other products, so we can shot all the way without retouch every minute. It’s also my best buddy.:)

Most cosmetics are harsh. It’s either you’ll get pimples or allergy. One of the most reliable cosmetic I am using is the Max factor. It never gives skin problem because it is composed of natural minerals that your skin can benefit. I am also one of the photographers who encourages our models to use this because it doesn’t fade out easily. The colors also blends to different skin tone.I just so love it.

Nice post. I think that many companies are now looking into manufacturing or producing such products that are made from natural products like the one you have shared with us, and think that using a natural product is much better because of the fact that it won’t have a side affect and it won’t harm you on the long run. Thanks for posting.

I tried this foundation and I did not like it at all, it was uneven on my skin and the variation in shades is limited so it’s hard to find the right color for your skin. I greatly recommend true minerals from l’oreal, it covers perfectly and stays on all day without feeling like a ‘mask’.
