Max FactorCreme Puff Pressed Foundation LightandGay Number g, 85 Light 'n' Gay, 21 gram

I am 38 and now suddenly I have oily t zone and normal rest of my face. I used to have dry skin which I knew exactly how to treat but now I can’t seem to use liquid make up with out it sliding off. I started using this but in shade translucent which was far too dark for my fair complexion. So glad I found this one as it’s a perfect match! Matte finish and it lasts all day, even when I sweat like mad at work!!

Noted another review branding this as old fashioned and outshined, but I really couldn't disagree more. Likely it's down to a person's skin type, I guess. I have mature skin with a fair amount of fine lines and pores more like moon craters. I've tried all manner of products from High Street to High End and not found a single one that doesn't just sit in my pores and lines and instantly age me.This however, somehow manages to drastically minimise the appearance of my pores and never settles into any lines or creases. I finish with a light, dewy setting spray to take off the harsh matt edge and am picture perfect. Was previously using 'Truly Fair' which was actually a little too dark for me, so super pleased to find that 'Light N Gay' is a perfect match for my fair skin : )

Like this powder has it sits well with rest of my make up & colour tone looks and feels right for me.

I am using this powder since i was 18,i am now 28.I have never used any foundation,just a concealer to cover dark circles and spots and powder on top.It works just fine,really covers and i actually like the smell!Amazing results in combination with max factor pan stick.I live in Greece and Max Factor products are quite expensive,the powder is about 20 euros to buy so i consider it as a great bargain!

Lovely face powder with a lovely perfume smell but the light-n-gay shade made me look as though I had put white flour on my face! I am very pale skinned but this was too pale for me and I find 'truly fair' a little too dark, I wish there was an 'in-between' shade!.

If you're light or rather pale skinned, go definitely for this shade. It is a powder of a superb quality and it will give you that nice touch up that you need.

I give this product 4 stars as I've been told it is super great for fair skin. But unfortunately it doesn't match my super fair skin as it should be. My skin has yellow undertone skin, but I think this product will match better someone with red/pink undertone.However, apart from my query, the product does its job perfectly.

I bought this purely because there were loads of good reviews, but I really didn't like it. It's very powdery, very heavy - I looked like a patchy ghost who'd been in a flour fight. I vaguely remembered the smell from my youth - this is a very old-school product, and I recall wearing it when I was dressing up as a little girl. I thought it looked great then, but that's the magic of time for you! Make-up has come a long way since Creme Puff - I would put this alongside PanStick and peel-off scented nail varnish, category-wise. If you've been using it for years, and it works for you, then by all means, buy away - this does appear to be a genuine Max Factor product, it came in brand-new condition, and the delivery was fast. But I probably wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't already know the product - make-up wise, we can just do so much better now.
