Max FactorCreme Puff - # 05 Translucent, 21 g

I have used Max Factor Pan Cake Makeup since the 1980's. They are no long making this product. I have been having to pay 40-60 dollars for it on EBay. Well I got tired of paying that much for foundation so I went searching for something comparable. I found it! This product is the closest product I found. You can use the same sponge you use with the pan cake makeup and apply wet or you can use as a powder with the sponge they provide. It applies slightly different but looks good. It is darker than you would expect but ok for the summer. Also, it is smaller than the pan cake foundation, but this is not a problem for me. I am so happy I have found this product at a much more affordable price. You still get the Max factor name and quality. I recommend this product.

This is very, very close to the old Max Factor Pancake Foundation, which I used for some 20 years or so. My favorite because you put it on with a wet sponge. This is very close, I use a small sea sponge to apply this Cream Puff Candle Glow and it covers well and color is close to my skin color. Take my advice and order you some sea sponge’s, you can get them on Amazon, but do pay attention to description as some will not be from the sea, and will be just an ordinary sponge made to look like a real sea sponge. This is really a key ingredient to getting a smooth look. I did try the 41 medium beige, but it is a very light beige. I have pretty fair skin, but the 41 was still too light.

This is the best!!!! I miraculously received the item in good condition; it wasn't broken. They didn't take any care shipping it properly to prevent breakage. I thought I'd receive it wrapped in protective material, but it was in the box along with a laptop case I also ordered, and I assume that's what protected it.

Very lovely powder, I love Max Factor products, they are great. Looks great, feels nice on skin. I don't like the sponge that comes with it, but I changed it out with another I have and it works great. Very soft looking powder on the face, sets nice, easily used with a brush or pad/sponge. Smells very old fashioned, but honestly the smell is gone within minutes on the face, I rather like it anyhow. Fantastic product. They do run darker than you'd think, something to consider when choosing a color!

I wouldn’t recommend the powder to anyone because it’s not what I expect from the brand

Great product!

Excellant

I ordered the "Transulcent" powder. It is darker than my skin tone - even darker than my foundation! I have only used it a couple of times if I was going out "without" makeup on or needed a touch-up during the day. On the other hand, it fits wonderfully into my antique Stratton Compaq which was the point.
