Reviews about Max Factor Miracle Second Skin Hybrid Foundation

This is no longer a foundation, but a BB cream that has a pretty good formula with beneficial ingredients for the skin. I didn't appreciate it right away because shade 02 was too dark for me, but when I got a tan in the summer, the color matched me perfectly. Its biggest advantage is that it doesn't make the skin oily like other foundations! It applies easily and can be layered, it evens out the skin tone beautifully, hides pores, looks natural on the face, lasts well throughout the day, and doesn't dry out the skin. I always set any foundation with translucent powder for better longevity.

I recommend it for oily skin prone to shine without obvious flakiness. I apply it with a damp sponge, which expands when wet.

The only thing I don't like about this cream is that it contains micro capsules - coconut milk, and they don't always dissolve on the face, so I have to wipe them off with a cotton swab or brush, which takes time.

Overall, I am satisfied with the product. I have purchased it twice already. It is lightweight and has SPF 20, which is great for its price. It doesn't have a mask-like effect like other foundation products. My combination skin feels adequately moisturized. Before applying it, I use a primer.

It clogs the skin, the shade 02 has a slight yellowish tone. It can only be blended with a damp sponge. It doesn't cover anything. It doesn't work well as a standalone product. It emphasizes dryness. It doesn't oxidize in the air.

Definitely not suitable for dry skin, it does not spread well and accentuates flakiness.

The best foundations, I apply this one with my fingers. Shade 03 slightly lightens, but it always gives a wonderful refreshing effect.

I don't see any issues with the application. I simply apply it with my fingers. It goes on evenly. It doesn't provide heavy coverage, but it's not designed for that. It's just meant to even out the tone.

I was looking for a liquid concealer for my cheeks and the sides of my nose, as well as for overall face correction. I tried about 5 different ones and still couldn't find the right one, so I decided to try this foundation for these purposes. I was afraid that the dark shade 13 Deep would make me look ginger. But it turned out to be exactly dark, and it actually suited my fair skin for liquid correction. It's easier to blend and distribute compared to stick products or thick concealers. It applies in a thinner layer, which is a good option for summer. However, you really need to get used to applying it. If you also want to use it for liquid face correction or mixing with other foundations, keep in mind that you need to use very, very little of it, applying it drop by drop - otherwise, it's easy to overdo it and end up with patches. I apply it with an important sponge from colordance or a densely packed "kabuki-like" brush using gentle tapping motions.

I am having difficulty understanding this product and how to apply it. There are some components in the composition that are unclear to me, so don't even try to apply it with your hands. It streaks with a brush, so it is necessary to go over the face with tapping motions. It settles into even the smallest wrinkles under the eyes and heavily creases near the nose. Using a sponge seems to provide the best application effect. Although I have combination skin, it emphasizes all the post-acne flakiness, so I don't think it would be suitable for dry skin. It has a matte finish, but by the end of the day, it disappears from the nose.

Shade 02 tends to appear yellowish on fair skin, with a transparent sticky finish. I diluted it with a white pigment lamella adjuster, which improved the application slightly. It added some depth to the tone and I applied it using a flat foundation brush. The formula sets quickly but accentuates dryness. Once powdered, it lasts a long time. However, the scent is unpleasant and chemical-like. I would rate it 3 out of 4, not bad, but there's a lot of unnecessary complexity.

I have normal skin, and it suits me well. However, the shade 2 is currently too light for me.
