Max Factor have launched a brand new foundation in time for the new year, and it’s called the Max Factor Miracle Second Skin Hybrid Foundation which is available to purchase via Boots and Amazon.
I have used Max Factor foundations ever since I was a teenager, when I used to swear by their Pan Stick. It’s crazy that they do still make their Pan Stick today, but their newest foundation launch is the complete opposite of the Pan Stick.

The Max Factor Miracle Second Skin Hybrid Foundation comes in a plastic squeezy tube, with a white plastic pump and gold lid.
I like the packaging a lot, squeezy tubes are so much more travel friendly than chunky glass bottles, and you can reach the dregs when you’ve nearly finished which is a right mission with a glass bottle.
This foundation appeals to me as it contains an SPF20, although a 13 shade, shade range isn’t as inclusive as it could be. The coconut milk formula sounds like it’d be amazing for dry skin, and I can’t wait to give it a try if I can find a shade that matches me.
