Review: Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation 048 Golden Beige (EN)

Hello beauties ❤ 

Today’s post is all about one old bestseller in the category foundation, which was recently relaunched with better formula – the mousse-foundation Miracle Touch by Max Factor.

 

Miracle Touch isn’t a new product for me since I’ve used it in the past (old formula variant) and I remember that I quite liked it back then, so I was impatient to get my hands on it once again. 

 

Мiracle Touch is available in 6 shades for the Bulgarian market which isn’t a enough to cover all skin shades, but according to my experience with Max Factor’s foundations they do adapt with a few tones to the natural skin color (I experienced this with Healthy Skin Harmony, Facefinity 3in1 and Lasting Performance as well).

The shade I choose is Golden Beige 048 – medium shade with visible warm yellow undertone that matches perfectly my tan and blends into my skin seamlessly.

Miracle Touch is placed in stable glass pot, it contains 11.5gr product, it has built in sponge in the cap (which I don’t plan on using), and it has mousse-like texture, which blends into liquid once is applied on the skin, it blends seamlessly, it gives full coverage and flawless matte finish to the skin.  

Miracle Touch’s formula has added hyaluronic acid into it and SPF 30 which is huge plus on my opinion, because I do wear sun protection on everyday base, throughout the whole year. I do have super oily skin no matter the season, so according my experience Miracle Touch is suitable for either oily or combination skin, because it might be drying for women with normal or dry skin. 

Miracle Touch’s mousse consistency looks solid and thick at first sight, but when applied on the skin it melts into liquid and it is extremely easy to apply & blend – I prefer to apply my foundation either with foundation or beauty blender and to use minimal amount of products, applied on very thin layer to look natural. I dip my brush once in the pot and blend the product from the center of my face to the outer contour.

 

The formula doesn’t require any time to set on the skin and right after application the finish is already matte and looks super natural on the skin (it does not have that powdery finish), it does not sets in my fine lines or pores and it has full coverage: all types of imperfections are covered.  Keeping in mind the full coverage formula you can’t build it without end up looking cakey on the skin, and to be honest I don’t think you’ll need to. In the view of the full opaque formula, building up the coverage isn’t possible without looking cake-y, but honestly I don’t think you’ll need to build it anyway.   

Miracle Touch does not dries out my skin and it has good longevity: nearly 6 hours without need of additional mattifying and afterwards a mattifying with oil control tissue/powder is a must, but as I already said I have really oily skin throughout the whole year and I haven’t found yet a foundation that stays put the whole day. If you do have combination or normal skin, you’ll probably don’t need additional mattifying or it will be needed later at the day. Another plus of Miracle Touch is that even after mattifying my makeup stays & looks put – my blush & highlighter are still visible even after 2 mattifyings and the foundation itself does not come off/fades away in an ugly way until I decide to remove my makeup.  

What I like about Miracle Touch is the light mousse formula that has full coverage and looks extremely natural on the skin, it has matte finish and gives my skin flawless & even tan on my skin, high SPF, nice and lasting performance on the skin and of course, the travel-friendly package.  Eventual minus I see is the amount of product you get – in the view of the standard 30ml per foundation, 11.5 gr last me for a month, month and a half maximum, keeping in mind the fact that I wear makeup every weekday for work (I already used up 1 packaging of Miracle Touch and this is my 2^nd one).  I’ll definitely repurchase Miracle Touch for 3^rd time after I hit pan on this one, since I want to keep a foundation like this in my makeup collection – I always like to have on hand at least 2 foundation with following characteristics: one with light, airy & breathable consistency, light to medium coverage and semi-matte finish (multiple time repurchased favorites of mine in this category are Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony, Bourjois Healthy Mix, Bourjois City Radiance, Bourjois 123 Perfect) and another foundation that has high & full coverage, matte finish and high longevity (in this category my favorite is Bourjois Air Mat and from now on Miracle Touch as well).
