My opinion:

I was given a Boots voucher for money off and i saw this product was on offer so i thought i would try it out as i am a big Max Factor fan.

My mum also thought she would try it too.

We spent ages trying to decide the best colour for us. In the end i went for Golden and my mum went for Natural.

I did not like the product at all, after sweeping the product all over my face i still hand to spend ages rubbing it all into my skin and when i finished i looked like i caked it on with a trowel.

I thought maybe i had used too much so the next day i tried to use less but with the brush and sifter its hard to judge how much you are using.

The product left my skin feeling very try and i looked very caked on.

I asked my mum what she thought of the product and she said the same, it was awkward to use the brush so in the end she just used her fingers to rub the product in as normal. She also said it left her skin feeling very dry.

I think for the price it is not a good deal at all and i will not be buying it again.

My score:

3/10

Summary: Not a great product from Max factor, a real let down!
