How To Get A Luxe Look For Less With Max Factor

Once again, Max Factor delivers with their new Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor.

With a designer palette of 20 pure pigment shades, it is preferred 2-to-1 over the No. 1 prestige lipcolor pack, for a premium-quality look.

The conditioner-rich formula includes shea butter, which leaves your lips smooth and moisturized. They’ve also made coordinating lipliners that glide on smooth and stay put for hours for a premium, pro look.

I normally don’t bother wearing lipstick because it either dries my lips out or doesn’t last more than an hour. Neither of those things are a problem for me now. I was skeptical that Max Factor would make a lipstick worth raving about, but I was wrong! This lipcolor is bold and stays looking good a lot longer than most drugstore brand lipstick. Plus, the formula is like chapstick or lipbalm so it actually helps your lips instead of drying them out.

I started off trying the Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor in Pink Pearl, a light pink shade that is almost the same color as my lips, but has a pearly shimmer and light shine that makes it perfect for everyday wear.

For the perfect nude lip, try Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor in Skinny Dip. It’s the perfect shade of nude for a sexy, naked lip that is perfect for Spring.

Another color I tried, and liked, was Ms. Right Now. It’s the perfect shade of red for a dramatic look. Bright red lips draw attention to your face and making you go from real-life to red-carpet style! (Think Christina Aguilera) Read more about how to wear red lips >>

Another color I really like is Gilty Rose.

It’s a beautiful deep shade of crimson with a coral sheen to it. Just gorgeous! I don’t feel comfortable wearing dark lipstick because I don’t like to draw attention to my lips (even though my husband claims they are one of my best features). If I could wear dark lipstick though, I would pick this one because it’s sooooo pretty!
