Max Factor Colorgenius pressed powder comes as additional proof that cosmetics drugstore brands have finally grasped one basic fact of life - namely that a compact containing only one shade of anything from powder to bronzer to blusher doesn't work for all women, even if they do have similar skin tones. As a result, more and more companies are beginning to capitalize on customizable compacts with more than one color, which allow you to mix and match shades in order to provide even coverage for all the regions of your face.

Max Factor Colorgenius Pressed Powder is a perfect illustration of this concept. Its mineral-enriched content is designed to allow skin to breathe while at the same time helping you achieve a flawless complexion. This powder offers you the chance to blend together three complimentary shades that will match your skin tone and offer a smooth, individual look. It also provides a translucent finish with a light mattifying effect and works well to control shine leaving your face feeling smooth and your pores unclogged.

You can choose from three different blends of nuances: Light, Medium and Deep. The formula is oil-free and hypoallergenic. By combining the three shades and using them on various skin areas - such as the lighter skin under your eyes, the cheeks and nose area and your forehead - you will get the double effect of sheer coverage and an even skin tone. It retails for $8.49 and is available in drugstores, so be sure to have a look around the next time you pop by and give it a try - you won't be disappointed.
