What is it?

This is a foundation that apparently adapts to your own skin tone. I've seen this advertised on television but had not got around to trying it out.

I've recently tried the Age Renew which I found to be very silky on the skin - a little too silky for me. This also made me look shiny in photos. This is what made me choose the Colour Adapt.

Also lot of foundations seem totally the wrong colour. Maybe 'colour adapt' could sort this problem for me.


Packaging:

This foundation comes in a 34ml clear tube. It's quite a large container. You can see the colour of the foundation through the clear part at the top of the packaging. The front of the packaging is clear, then white underneath, then dark blue. Written in the dark blue is the colour - 70 natural. In the white is written in dark blue - colour adapting make-up, and in the clear at the top it says - Max Factor - colour adapt.

The dispensing part of the tube is a large white push down nozzle which dispenses a tiny amount of foundation onto your finger, or whatever you are using to apply the foundation with. This way there is no waste. Covering the nozzle is a clear white plastic lid.


Smell:

Unlike the Age Renew which had a sweet smell to it, this Colour Adapt foundation had no smell at all. None that I could detect anyway.


Who makes it?

Proctor & Gamble, Weybridge, Surrey.


Application:

I squirted a couple of drops onto my finger and applied to cheeks, forehead and chin.

The foundation went on evenly and smoothly. It was not too thick or too thin and seemed a good consistency.

On my skin this foundation felt very, very light.


Coverage:

I found that this foundation covered my skin well, but did not cover my 'freckles' (not age spots) or blemishes very well.

I used a concealer, but without one I would probably have applied a couple of drops of foundation over the blemishes upon the dried foundation. Hopefully this would have covered them.


Colour:

The colour was a very good match to my natural skin tone. There were no obvious tidemarks and it blended well into my neck. I felt that this was a very good match.


Lasts?

I had this on from early morning until I went to bed. It lasted all day and I did not feel shiny at the end of the day. I would say that this lasts really well.


Overall opinion:

I would buy this next time I need to replace my foundation. I was very pleased with the smooth and even way the foundation went on and the way it was light on my skin.

A very good foundation. Just waiting for Max Factors next miracle!

Summary: A great foundation of a good consistency
