Product description

Masterpiece Colour Precision Eyeshadows from Max Factor offer subtle colour and precise eye framing with the precision applicator tip, creating a soft and natural look. Plus the creamy texture of these eyeshadows makes them ideal if you need a change from the look of powdery eyeshadows. The range of colours mean that you can change your look to suit your mood: the tonal shades allow you to sculpt and shape your eyes with hints of gold and taupe while the pastels add fun and colour to your eyes.

How to Use

Always apply shadow in small amounts and blend, blend, blend.

Masterpiece Colour Precision Eye Shadow in Pearl Beige can be used as a highlighter. Draw a C-shape on your temples around your eyes for a candle-lit skin look.

Masterpiece Colour Precision Eye Shadow can be used on its own, or layered under any Earth Spirits or Duo Eyeshadow for added depth and intensity.

Ingredients: C11-12 Isoparaffin, Mica, Talc, Quaternium-18 Hectorite, Polyethylene, Cera Carnauba, Trihydroxystearin, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Propylene Carbonate, Cera Alba, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Bisabolol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Lecithin, Glyceryl Oleate, Glyceryl Stearate, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, [+/- CI 77007, CI 77288, CI 75470, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77891]

My Opinion:

I don't wear eye shadows everyday, but my lids are naturally very pigmented, so I need something to even them out, and this product gives me that fresh and bright look. I've been alternating between this and benefit lemonaid, and I still can't determine which one I like better, because lemonaid provides a matte finish (which I do prefer), but it creases, while maxfactor do not crease but it has a sheen in it.

Another issue that needs to be mentioned is the scent, this stuff smells awful, I've actually though that I had a bad tube and threw it away and went to the store to get a new one, but it still smells awful, so I guess that is the scent of the product...

My Opinion:

This is a great blusher for someone who's new to cream blushes, it's very blendable and you can never overdo, but the pigmentation and staying power is only average.

According to Max Factor webpage:

Ever wondered how top models keep their skin looking flawless at all times? Tried backstage by professional make-up artists at the hottest catwalk shows, new Mastertouch Concealer is a miracle product to give you the expert touch of a professional make-up artist. With an easy-to-apply texture it hides blemishes. It’s all down to a special skin smoothing applicator and light-diffusing creamy formula that makes precise coverage a breeze!

Ingredients: Aqua, Cyclomethicone, Titanium Dioxide, Propylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Talc, Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, Dimethicone Copolyol, Sodium chloride, PVP, Laureth-7, Arachidyl behenate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Trihydroxystearin, Propylparaben, Methicone, Methylparaben, Synthetic wax, Silica, Cetyl dimethicone copolyol, Polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, Hexyl Laurate, Ethylene/Methacrylate Copolymer, Ethylene brassylate, Sodium acetate, Aluminum hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Isopropyl titanium triisostearate, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499

My Opinion:

I like the texture and the shade of this concealer, it doesn't settle into the fine lines, but the coverage is really low....

I've got genetically dark circles and even with 10 hours of sleep, I'd still have darkness around my eyes, so far I've only been able to use this product on my good days, or over a corrector, otherwise the darkness will just show thru.

Price: HKD88.00

Ingredients: Talc, Mica, Zinc Stearate, Silica, Phenyltrimethicone, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, C26 28 Alkyl Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Zeolite, BHT, Sorbic Acid (A Preservative), Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylparaben, May Contain (+/-):, Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake, Ultramarines, Titanium Dioxide, Carmine (CI 75470), Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Blue 1 (CI 42090), Manganese Violet, Iron Oxides, Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289)

My Opinion:

I don't usually review shadows, I mainly like to do swatches, but I think that I need to mention that the pigmentation of these shadows are very low, with the exception of the brown in the middle, I had to use a very heavy hand in order to make the colors show.

It says in the description that these can be used wet or dry, I haven't try it wet, but I think it'll show better if used wet.

Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation

Contents: 11.5g
Shade: Warm Almond 45
Price: HK$138

Product Description:

With a unique lightweight solid to liquid formula it removes the need for the traditional concealer, foundation and powder combination and instead creates the perfect base in just one easy application. The result is a flawless, fresh and incredibly smooth complexion that glows with radiance.

My Opinion:

I've started by applying this foundation with a sponge and hated the result, it looks dry and cakey, and it settles in the lines and pores.

On my second trial I've applied it with a foundation brush and it looks soooooooo much better, but is still kind of dry.

On my third trial I've made sure that my skin is really hydrated and applied it again with a foundation brush, and the result was perfect. I've used it for 2 consecutive weeks and love the effect.
