Few people know that the progenitor of this world famous cosmetic company is our compatriot, who later moved to America.

Therefore, he began to produce his own line of cosmetics. Initially, it was available only to the elite, but over time, every lady who wanted could become the owner of Max Factor cosmetics.

Almost all powders produced today by various manufacturers have some contraindications to their use. For example, the lack of the necessary tone or the possibility of an allergic reaction. But Max Factor is significantly different in this regard. Firstly, it enables every woman with any skin tone to pick up the powder of the perfect tone.

In addition, this type of decorative cosmetics perfectly copes with such tasks as:

• alignment skin tones.
• Naturalness. Thanks to the texture, the face after applying the powder does not look doll-like or unnatural. Particles of cosmetics completely merge with the natural skin tone.
• Disguise small flaws. These include acne, redness and peeling.
• Persistent and natural oily sheen removal. This point is very relevant in anticipation of the onset of the hot season. The skin of the face looks fresh and clean.

Particular attention should be paid to the ingredients that the manufacturer uses to create this type of decorative cosmetics. It is worth noting that for all varieties of powder of this brand, the basic composition is identical. Only additional components can change depending on the specific type of cosmetics and the purposes for which it is used.

The main ingredients are mica and talc (Mica, Talc). The first is a kind of plasticine, which is responsible for the velvety of the skin and its hydration. Talc is a mineral additive that not only absorbs odors, but also protects the face from ultraviolet radiation, and also softens the skin. There are powders and preservatives in the composition, which help not only to extend the life of this product, but also prevent harmful microorganisms from multiplying in it, which means that they directly protect the face itself. These are Propylparaben and Methylparaben.

The composition also contains the carcinogen BHT, which is an antioxidant and a special preservative, the enemy of all microbes Sodium Dehydroacetate. Not without adding much-needed water to the skin. In addition, the composition contains silicone (Methicone), stearic acid and zinc (Stearic Acid and Zinc Stearate), as well as perfume additives (Paraffinum Liquidum).

There are also special additives in certain types of powder, for example, Calcium Silicate, Quaternium-15 and Avena Sativa. These additives are in the powder "Loose Powder".

But in "Face FinityThe manufacturer has added one of the types of vitamin E, so that the skin is not only reliably protected, but also moisturized.

We have previously talked about how important it is to choose the right tone of this product from Max Factor to get the perfect skin tone in general.

Today, the company produces products of various shades for all skin types. Moreover, each type of product has its own color palette, depending on the density and texture of the product.

So, compact powder has only 7 shades. It has a dense texture and is ideal for oily skin. It should be used in very small quantities. The colors in the palette are very diverse and are suitable for girls with very fair skin (shade No. 85) and for very swarthy skin (shade No. 5). Tone 81 from this palette is great for masking acne.. And shade number 55 will perfectly get rid of red redness on the skin and even bruises under the eyes.

At the same time, for fair-skinned girls, the company created a special powder with 6 colors. Max Factor Facefinity. This powder is suitable for daily use and has shades from No. 1 intended for girls with snow-white skin, to No. 6, more suitable for swarthy girls.

Max Factor has loose powder, which, no matter how surprising it sounds, has no palette at all. Loose Powder consists of five types of powder. Transparent powder, or rather, its particles themselves adjust to the natural color of the skin, improving it and matting it. In this case, tone 01 is ideal for the fairest-skinned women, and tone 05 is the best choice for dark-skinned women.

The rules for using powder depend on its type and density. So, for example, a loose product can be applied to the face using a special mesh, which is sold with the product. Its use will not make it possible to apply too much powder on the face. However, makeup artists say that such powder is best applied to cleansed skin with a wide brush in small strokes. So the tool will lie evenly and will be almost imperceptible.

In this case, it is not necessary to use a special foundation for makeup or cream. The texture of the product is dense, it not only ideally massages all skin imperfections, but also moisturizes and nourishes it.
