This is so sad…Max Factor has been around FOREVER.
I was going to go foundation hunting this weekend, and Max Factor was first on my list of things to try. Boo.
I’m looking up reviews on cheap makeup (Revlon, Maybelline, Cover Girl, etc.). None of them seem combination-skin-friendly! @#$#@$^@! (Imagine a 30 second sound bite strewn with obscenities and references to tea-bagging) .
Oh and Maybelline sucks donkey balls. I know I’ve already said it, but I’ll say it again – what is up with the small amount of shades they have?! MEH.
Benefit has a concealer that looks amazing (I’ve been told you can just use that instead of foundation because it covers imperfections so well), but it’s 26 DOLLARS [As opposed to euros or conch shells? - editor's note]. *sniff*
I’ve never used Max Factor foundation before, so I’m going to buy some tomorrow!
I’m most likely going to buy their Pan-Stik foundation, and if they have it, their Pancake one. I really want the pancake one to be there, because in its heyday Judy Garland was their spokesperson for it! Which means it’s a vintage product! And you know I loves the vintage. But I heard it can be hard to find, so cross your fingers!
Update: Just found out Pan-Stik is vintage too! Below is an ad for Pancake from 1952.

No, first Prescriptives and now Max Factor, when Wet ‘n Wild goes out of business I’m screwed.
