Max Factor CC Colour 30 Light Correcting Cream with SPF 10 30 ml

I asked for advice on here about this product before purchasing, which was incredibly helpful, and it just arrived. It is everything I had hoped and more. I am normally very fair skinned, with red hair, but with the recent weather, have got a bit more colour and loads of freckles. I wanted something that would help cover redness, thread veins and general uneven skin tone, but without covering up my freckles, and that is exactly what this does!I purchased the natural shade, as normally I wear the palest shade of foundation, but this was looking far too pale due to getting a bit of sun. It seems to match perfectly with my skin tone, minimises my thread veins and yet it doesn't look like I am wearing foundation at all. I squirted a tiny bit out just to try it and that little bit was enough to cover my whole face!I have tried various bb creams with no luck, and while I like my normal Max Factor foundation a lot I think I will try the paler version of this when I am paler in the winter. All in all I highly recommend it.

Best product on the market!I have a bit of a mix bag when it comes to my skin- pale with cool undertones, dryness, my nose has a bit of texture with pesky pores that no product has managed clear and close.. a little redness too, especially around the nostrils.. cheeks have slight bit of rosacea too, although not too noticeable. Pop up hormonal spots that sprout up a few cystic ones on the chin and jawline that anyone with experience of cystic spots knows are nearly impossible to hide! Dark under eyes, Then we have the lines, creases and mild wrinkles typical of a 37 year old without any botox of fillers.I take great care with skin care and skin prep, and follow application advice to the letter.. but most foundations and concealers are either too heavy, become cakey, flakey, sits in lines and creases, or actually accentuates existing problems. I've tried the best on the market and invested money and hopes in the likes of Charlotte Tilbury (other items are fantastic), Chanel, Lancome and Elizabeth Arden.. and I always find myself back to this one (a few other good ones that work just as well as this but have a heavier price tag is, Aimee Connolly's sculpted second skin dewy liquid foundation and Erborian CC cream).You can just dab a little over the areas you need to cover and leave out the rest as long as you blend the edges out with a damp sponge for a seamless finish. Or you can dot, dab, leave to dry, dot, dab, dry and repeat to build up coverage on those pesky stubborn spots! This won't dry them out to create that horrible scab look that some of the thicker foundations can cause. The best fixing spray that goes with this product is nyx's electrolytes plumping spray.. keeps it dewy and youthful!

Great CC cream, versatile in that it can be applied quickly with fingers for easy makeup days and light/medium coverage or with a brush for something more full coverage. I have oily skin and this product holds up pretty well throughout the day provided I set with a powder. Its one of the few CC creams I’ve found that the colour is light enough for my very pale skin - I’m a natural, freckley redhead and usually I end up needing to cover my neck in product too so I’m pleased I’ve discovered this! I’ve already bought it once before and can see me repurchasing when this tube is finished! Only rated 4/5 because the smell is of product is pretty distinctive, a bit like play dough!

I'll try and make a long description short!! I am very fussy with foundation! I have tried many in my time and very few have hit the mark! Throughout all of my teens and twenties....I mainly used pressed powder for coverage and that worked well on youthful skin...but as I reached my thirties I found that I needed Abit more coverage but didn't get on with full coverage foundation....it looked far too heavy and I felt very conscious and uncomfortable! Then I discovered tinted moisturizers and BB/CC creams and have not looked back. They are the light to medium coverage I need in my late thirties that do not look heavy or cakey. This CC cream is the absolute best I have ever used.....the texture is wonderful, it comes out the tube like a cream but blends in like a powder (it gives a matte finish) and leaves your skin looking flawless!! And you do not need to use much either. I have had a couple of people comment on my skin looking good whilst wearing this, but most importantly.....I feel comfortable with it on. I will continuously purchase this as it does the job so well and is also a decent price. Job well done Maxfactor.

Shade not quite as expected.

I'm 46. got dry-ish skin, wrinkles and pores. This is a nice light coverage, doesn't sink into lines and pores (I do use a primer though) doesn't feel cakey or turn into dry patches. Very impressed

I've given a 5 star as not the sellers fault. But this CC cream is way to light plus it just sits on my skin I usually buy the natural shade but it's discontinued so thought I would give it a try. Sadly not good. 🙁

Given it's price I wasn't expecting much, but wanted a lighter, everyday foundation. This is lightweight whilst still giving good coverage and is surprisingly long lasting, especially given I have oily skin and have found much more expensive foundations, targeted at being matte, lasted less time.Only downside is the lack of colour choice - the light is a little too light and the medium a bit too dark, but I can mix them to colour match.
