Probably better suited to younger skin, 19 Feb. 2013

For the price, this is a pretty good product. It comes in a compact which feels quite solid and well made, with a good size mirror and a sponge to apply the foundation with.

I would describe my colouring as "English rose" - very pale with pink tones, so I chose what as far as I could tell was the lightest colour in the range, Porcelain. When it arrived, I was surprised how dark it looked in the compact - I have uploaded a photo of it. When I tried it on my skin, the texture was a lot more chalky than I was expecting and the colour was slightly darker than I hoped, but perhaps it will be a better match in the summer. It's not so dark that I can't use it, but I have to be careful to blend it in. It gives good coverage, I found it very effective at concealing dark circles around my eyes.

The biggest downside with this product is that even after moisturising my face and applying eye cream, after applying the product, my skin looked a little dry and very matt...

foundation you can rely on, 19 Dec. 2011

This is a very trustworthy foundation compact. It might be pricier when compared to other things on the market, but it is definitely worth the investment. It is very smooth and spreads out evenly, without being blotchy and it lasts quite a while (at least 4 hours, was what I noticed for me). You can use this one with or without a liquid foundation and they interact just fine on the skin. Sometimes I want to let my skin breathe and only use the compact and it does a great job on its own!It's in a very pretty case and is so light that you can always find space for it in your purses. I use the natural shade, since the sand one is just a bit too dark fro me during this season. Normally I switch to the sand shade during summer when I get really tanned.It is very matte and covers any bits of skin that have a shiny tendency, so it blots them out neatly.I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have the best quality products to rely on at all times.

Great for people in a rush. User-friendly, 11 Sept. 2011

I can't be bothered to use a normal liquid foundation and if I have time I will dab on some powder, but this does it all in about 15 seconds. I bought the 03 Natural colour which is fine considering I have a light tan at the moment and I have bought the 01 Porcelain one to use once it fades. It's good if you want to generally even up skin tone. It wouldn't give enough coverage to cover spots or obvious red blotches. There are 7 shades of this product, ending in 08 and there doesn't seem to be a 04. The Max Factor site gives a better view of the shades.
