I use "Translucent", which doesn't look translucent in the container (looks a bit too tan in colour for a translucent powder to me), but turns out to be translucent on me - fyi I have medium, neutral toned skin, so maybe that's why it doesn't show up much on my skin. It gives me a nice, smooth, matte look on my skin and evens out my skin tone. I can understand why some others here have commented the powder is too dark - if you are very fair, maybe it might show up a bit. Now the only issues with this powder is the scent - it reminds me of old lady perfume, for some reason. And the applicator that comes in the container is rubbish. I don't use it at all. I use a fluffy large powder brush instead. When I tried using the included applicator, it delivered too much product, which settled into fine lines on my skin (I am 40+ yrs old). This didn't happen when I used the powder brush to apply it on my skin though. It went on very smooth, didn't settle into fine lines. Thankfully it doesn't require re-application during the day for me (probably helped by the fact I use primer under this powder, so if you don't use some sort of primer or something, it may not be so long-lasting and you may have to reapply), so this is not a problem to me. I also don't use foundation, so maybe that's why I don't need to reapply. I just powder this over my primer. Foundation tends to make my skin oilier over the course of the day. I think if I used foundation, I might have to reapply. But I believe this powder is good for matte-ifying oily patches on the skin because it contains talc as a main ingredient. Overall, I'd say this powder is great value for me. For under £5, this works as well on my face as my £66 Chantecaille compact makeup powder. Okay it works as well, though certainly appears cheap and cheerful. For instance, it is a lot more "dusty" than my higher end Chantecaille powder makeup. My makeup brush picks up lot of dusty particles that fly around when I use this powder, whereas my high end powder doesn't do that at all. It also has a sort of old lady cosmetics smell... I think it might be lilac or rose water? Not sure. I don't smell it after applying it though, it's just apparent during application. That's the extent to which the difference lies. The way this powder looks on me is no worse than my high end powder. I'm definitely going to continue buying it from now on. Review: Excellent coverage - Medium coverage powder. The coverage is so good that I use it in place of foundation and powder. An all in one product. Lovely scent too. ## Features - All-in-one compact powder with light-reflecting particles - Provides a soft and subtle glow - Complements moisturiser or foundation and works on all skin types - Provides medium to high coverage and a lightweight, matte finish - Absorbs oil for instant radiance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001GNBVQW | | ASIN | B01M0M1D7R | | Additional Features | High Coverage, Light-Reflecting Particles | | Benefits | High coverage and absorption of excess fat | | Best Sellers Rank | 359 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 2 in Face Powders | | Brand Name | Max Factor | | Color Family | Red | | Colour | Candle Glow | | Container Type | compact | | Coverage | High | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (7,773) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (7,773) | | Date First Available | 24 Jun. 2011 | | Finish Type | Demi-Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000050884414 | | Item Dimensions | 22.8 x 7.5 x 1.5 centimetres | | Item Form | Pressed | | Item Type Name | Max Factor Creme Puff - # 55 Candle Glow For Women 21 g Foundation | | Item Weight | 21 Grams | | Item Weight | 60 g | | Item model number | 774075 | | Manufacturer | Max Factor | | Manufacturer | Max Factor | | Material Features | Light Reflecting Particles | | Model Name | Crème Puff | | Model Number | 10001406 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Palette | | Skin Tone | middle | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 000050884414 | | Unit Count | 21.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Max Factor - **Colour:** Candle Glow - **Colour family:** Red - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 21 Grams - **Model name:** Crème Puff - **Number of items:** 1 - **Product benefits:** High coverage and absorption of excess fat - **Skin type:** All - **Special feature:** High Coverage, Light-Reflecting Particles ## Images ![Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Compact Powder, 21 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uVWI+EBFL.jpg) ![Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Compact Powder, 21 g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619vz4B7PZL.jpg) ![Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Compact Powder, 21 g - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tGctW9R+L.jpg) ![Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Compact Powder, 21 g - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91sqm7Z+IvL.jpg) ![Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Compact Powder, 21 g - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iVgYFu3rL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I see the packaging has changed from the dark blue to this light color one. Are the shades still the same? I used nouveau beige before.** A: Yes, the shade is pretty consistent. It blends excellently to your skin color. **Q: Is this creamy?** A: No, this is not creamy. It is soft and silky and absorbs excess oil and provides high coverage. I love it. **Q: I have used natural #2 in the us and fair natural in australia. any suggestions if natural#1 or truly fair are close to these?** A: Hello Sandra. I really could not say. I ordered Medium beige, which is comparable to tan # 1 of max factor pancake make up. I am sorry I could not help. **Q: is this the old pancake under new name?** A: No, this is a powder foundation. I believe it always was called creme puff. If you want the waxy pancake foundation, look for Max Factor Pan Stik. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't fault it much for the price and longevity *by S***. on 8 January 2023* I usually apply this on top of primer, and it stays on for the whole day.
