Max Factor’s ‘flawless’ powder blurs pores and brightens under eyes

The Max Factor Facefinity Pro Blur Longwear Setting Powder is available at Superdrug, and shoppers praise it for being lightweight while creating a smooth finish

Beauty enthusiasts are rushing to get their hands on a versatile setting powder that both blurs and sets makeup. The Max Factor Facefinity Pro Blur Longwear Setting Powder from Superdrug is currently retailing at £10.99.

Offered in translucent or rosy silk shades on Superdrug’s website, this setting powder promises to be enduring and lightweight, while it ‘bakes, sets, and blurs like a pro’. It’s all thanks to its unique ‘Airblur technology’, which ensures a smooth and poreless finish.

Max Factor suggests using a powder puff to apply a generous amount of powder, then allowing it to sit for approximately five minutes before brushing off the surplus. It advises its translucent variant for T-zones and areas prone to oiliness, and its rosy silk shade for brightening under the eyes, reports the Liverpool Echo.

While another shade is also available but not currently on Superdrug’s site, the brand states that a mix of the three is ‘perfect for a variety of skin tones and undertones’. The handy sealable sifter guarantees a mess-free application while dispensing the ideal amount for minimal wastage each time.

Customers commend the setting powder for being light without feeling heavy, whilst providing a look that ‘no longer needs a filter’. The powder is housed in a chic transparent tub, with a black screw lid, making its packaging straightforward yet effective.

Alternatively, shoppers could explore the e.l.f. Halo Glow Setting Powder, currently available at £8.78 from Amazon. It comes in light, medium or neutral shades, delivering a blurring effect that creates a silky texture and airbrushed finish, according to the brand.

Beauty fans might also consider Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder, now priced at £25.50, reduced from £34 at Boots. Designed specifically for baking, this powder provides up to 10 hours of setting power, featuring ‘ultra-refined pigments’, the site states.

Customers of the Max Factor Facefinity Pro Blur Longwear Setting Powder from Superdrug were thrilled with the results. One buyer commented: “My makeup looks flawless and my photos no longer need a filter!”

Another remarked: “Honestly, it performs better than some of the high-end powders I’ve used.”

Some customers did leave critiques, however. One noted: “This product will last a long time, a little goes a long way! It’s hard to get out only a little bit, you have to be careful when you twist the opener to get the powder out.”

Most were delighted, though, as another customer stated: “Flawless without feeling heavy or cakey.” The Max Factor Facefinity Pro Blur Longwear Setting Powder is available at Superdrug.
