Creme Puff

Max Factor Crème Puff Pressed Powder Review

 

I have recently ran out of my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, so I was in the hunt of a new pressed powder that I can use especially for my under eye area. Several beauty influencers have raved about the Max Factor Crème Puff pressed powder, so I said to myself, why not give it a go! It is an affordable option and it has been in the market for SO many years. Ever since I got it, I have been using it weekly and I am confident to say that it is one of my all time favourite powders.

 

 

 

Description:

The Max Factor Crème Puff Pressed Powder comes in 13 shades that you can choose from to match your skin tone. Max Factor claims that this is a lightweight powder that gives you a super matte finish with a subtle glow to it.The pressed powder contains 21 grams of product and comes in a round pan with a lid that you'll need to slide upwards to open. There is also a circular sponge inside that you can use to apply the powder (I didn't use it as I prefer applying it with a brush). The powder that I have is in the "Light N Gay" shade which has a slight pink undertone to it.    

 

 

What I like about this powder:

• Long-lasting
• Lightweight and is not cakey AT ALL!
• Prevents concealer from creasing
• Brightens the under eye area

What I don’t like about this powder:

• Smells like an old womans perfume (but the smell goes away as soon as you put the powder on your face)
• The packaging is not travel-friendly (lid can easily open/break)
• Might need reapplying (for oily skin)

Availability:

 
Widely available in all drugstores and online for e.g. at amazon.com (US), Superdrug, Boots (UK). In Kuwait it is available in Boots and Centrepoint.

 

Price:

UK: £6.99
US: $8.83 (amazon)
Kuwait: around 4 KD

Final thoughts:

I think this is a great drugstore powder that helps keep your concealer still while keeping its lightweight feature. It gives a beautiful matte finish but with a healthy and subtle glow. This has been my go-to powder recently and I would highly recommend it.
