Once again I am very pleasantly surprised by Maxfactor. I was looking for a cream blusher and because I've only ever used powder blushers, I didn't want to spend too much incase I found I should stick to powder blushers. Well I bought mine in Soft Murano and it's a truly lovely, natural colour. It reminds me of the colour models wear when "off duty" and are only wearing concealor, mascara and lipbalm. It's easy to apply, isn't sticky (something I'm always afraid of) and just seems to look like a water colour paint on canvas. I'm not mad about the packaging....I would take off half a lippie for that but since we can't do half lippies, I'm happy to give a full five. I am planning to collect a few more of these colours month by month. My only gripe is that these seem hard to find in my state in Australia. I have only seen them in the Chemist so far. continued >>

I love this blush! I have soft pink and it blends wonderfully, is so pigmented you just need a touch and it lasts all day giving a soft flush of colour without streaking or fading too much. On my fair skin I use a paler neutral powder blush as a base, and then this cream blush on the apples of my cheeks for a natural healthy 'pop'. I don't normally have much love for max factor but these blushes and the little eyeshadows in the same pots are great value for money. I took one lippie off for the packaging - although the little pots are a great size to carry around they feel and look pretty cheap and plasticky and the lid cracks easily if you're not careful. Other than that, I can't fault it.

I like cream blushes because I'm always rushing and I don't need brushes to apply so I went for this. I got the shade 'soft pink' which adds a really nice pink flush. Problem is my skin dries out quickly especially in winter and after a couple hours it fades away :( Other than that it's lovely.

I have two of these, murano n cardinal. They are pigmented n blend very easily, last all day n do not break me out. Normally I find cream blushes too dry for lips but these Max Factor ones are an exception! They work very well for lips too. The packaging is simple but very practical n convenient, I really luv them.

I pick soft pink color. wonderful! dab it on your cheeks using clean fingers or brush, set with powder and thats it, its not as pigmented but i like it bcos it creates very natural rosy cheeks. i love how its not too thick, soft and long lasting!
use dabbing motion and it should be fine.price is very okay, about $6 and it would last forever. the only problem is the packaging.. inefficient and unhygienic, the product rocks!

This is a fairly good cream blush, better than the Revlon cream blush but at the same price range.
It blends in nicely and is a bit translucent, it has a really natural look which I appreciate alot. The colour is also buildable so you can play around with the intensity.
My only problem with it is the packaging. I find it a bit unhygienic for something that is meant for your face.

Love! It is so rare to get a drugstore product of such high quality. There are few cream blushes available in the drugstore and I didn't expect this to be all that great however, the pigmentation is very good and it is so easy to blend. The product has a very light smooth texture and gives a nice glowly look to the cheeks without being drying. At £6 it is very affordable and its stays in place without need for touch ups during the day. I have soft copper which very much reminds me of the NARS cream blush in penny lane although the Max Factor is even more pigmented! I also have it in soft pink which I love equally - this reminds me of the Bobbi Brown pale pink cream blush although the MF miracle touch is again more pigmented. I am so excited to collect the other colors from this line. Wonderful!

Lovely product. Easy to use, very natural looking. Nice small package so is easy to store. Blends well for a completely natural flush. I bought both soft pink and soft candy and gave some as gifts to friends. Fool proof product.

This stuff is great - nice colour, goes on and blends easily. Packing could have a pop-up lid to improve it, but that's my only complaint. Love it!

I like this cream blush because it gives me a natural look. I have dry skin so powder blush sometimes look cakey on me. I bought Soft Pink and it is a very pretty color. However, it would be better if it is creamier, it is pigmented but very thick to blend.

I had never use any cream blusher prior to Max Factor cream blush, i usually uses bronzer which is a shade darker to my skin as a blusher but I must say OMG, I love this cream blusher, the glow is so natural, i look like how someone would after exercising, minus the sweat. I love this blusher, it doubles as a lip color as well. Versatile, i love.

This is a fabulous little find! I picked it up during a recent trip to London, both Soft Pink and Soft Candy. On my NC15-20 skin, they are both marvelous. Soft Candy looks scary red in the pot, but gives me a delightful slightly windburned look. Also love this on the lips with a bit of Aquaphor for a "just bitten" natural look. Soft Pink has become a daily staple, soft and smooth indeed, a natural girlish flush and lasts all day long.
I love that these are tiny pots, as they slip in easily into my purse and are perfect for travel. I said I would buy again, but they are so pigmented that I can't see myself running out of them.
Bring back Max Factor to the USA!

I really like this product! I've got it in soft candy and it looks really natural on the skin. It's also very smooth, so the application goes easily and without streaks or stains. It lasts all day and is relatively cheap ( around 6,- € ). Gives a nice glow too.

I usually prefer cheek stains or gels for their staying power and vibrance so I was a little sceptical about this cream blush, but I really like it. I got it in 'Soft Cardinal' and the coral-pink colour gives a really nice flush that is bright yet natural. Pigmentation is great, the texture is really smooth and glides on without being sticky or greasy and can even be applied on top of powder without going on streaky. As all cream products, this does fade after a while, but I find that it lasts me a good 6 hours before I need to touch up. My only complaint is the limited colour range - for €6 a pop, I'd defintely pick up more if they had more appealing shades.

I have this in Soft Cardinal. It's a beautiful pinky coral with a very slight frost, which lends cheeks a healthy glow. This has a great creamy texture. It's like a lipstick in a pot. In fact, it makes quite a nice lipstick. It looks equally nice on its own or topped with a gloss (like L'Oreal 6H Glam Shine in Watermelon Fanatic, which I got to go with it and which might be a limited edition and/or European-only release--I'm not sure). As others have noted, the packaging is a little flimsy, but that won't stop me from using and loving this. I might even check out some of the other colors. Also, this is very affordable--less than 6 euros!

This is my first cream blush which I bought in Soft Pink - looks natural on my yellow-toned Asian skin, has good staying power, and has not broken me out (am a bit acne-prone). I apply with clean fingertips, and it's easy to blend (hot climate though). It's intensely pigmented so although it seems expensive for such a small amount, it will last ages.
However, the plastic lid broke in half when I screwed it on in a hurry one day - to be fair, it was my fault, but the less-than-durable packaging is my only gripe.

I have come to love this product over time.
Initially, i found the colour too intense and the staying power poor. However, i changed the way i apply it and voila! The product has new depths.
I use it with a small contouring brush and dab the product on to my skin rather than rubbing it in because i find this gives the most natural and soft colour.
I would definitely recommend that pale skinned girls who want a reasonably priced drug store product.

Really loving this blush. I def prefer creamy blushes over the powder ones, and this is the best cream blush I've tried.
It is really pigmented so you need the lightest touch when y ou apply - but it should also mean it will last ages.
I use the Soft Pink colour - I'm pretty pale but this is probably the most universally flattering shade for most skin types. Also looks awesome on lips.
Most days i do this on cheeks and lips, pop my Bloom lip gloss on, add sunnies, and I'm out the door!
The packaging is a bit of a pain, and a bit cheap, but on the other hand I like that it is so small as it will fit in any bag, day, evening, or makeup.
My skin can be acne prone, but this doesn't clog my pores - another yay!

I bought this blush in Soft Pink, which looks way more intimidating in the case than on skin. It provides a beautiful pinkish glow on my pale cool-toned skin. However, I was a bit worried about the waxy consistency beforehand… and for a reason: it did eventually break me out on my cheeks :( Such a bummer, because I was really looking forward to using this one. This must a great choice for someone not prone to blemishes!
The case the same one as in Max Factor's eyeshadows, that is to say, very poor quality. The twist-off lid is also very inconvenient.
