Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Powder 14g in 55 Candle Glow is one of the most iconic pressed face powders in beauty history — a true vintage-meets-modern compact loved for generations. The lightweight, beautifully fine-milled formula gives skin a soft-focus, polished finish while controlling shine, helping makeup last longer and adding a subtle veil of colour to even the complexion.
About Max Factor
Max Factor is one of the most celebrated names in makeup, founded in 1909 by Polish-American beauty pioneer Maksymilian Faktorowicz — the makeup artist who coined the word "make-up" while working with Hollywood's golden-age studios. Creme Puff has been one of the brand's most beloved hero products for over 70 years, having launched in 1953 and remaining largely unchanged since.
Key benefits
- Soft-focus finish — finely milled powder gives skin a polished, smooth look
- Controls shine — keeps the T-zone matte through the day
- Sets foundation — helps base makeup last longer without disturbing the finish
- Subtle tinted coverage — adds a light, even veil over the skin
- Iconic heritage formula — beloved by generations of makeup wearers
- Travel-friendly compact — slim, classic pressed-powder format with included sponge
Shade
55 Candle Glow is a warm, soft-toned shade in the medium range, designed to suit medium complexions leaning warm or golden. As with all powders, the goal is to match (rather than darken or lighten) your existing foundation or natural skin tone — best tested against the centre of the chest or jawline in natural daylight.
Who it's for
This pressed powder is for anyone seeking a classic, reliable setting and finishing powder — particularly those who appreciate iconic, time-tested formulas. It's well-suited to all skin types as a finishing step, though those with oily or combination skin will especially benefit from its mattifying effect along the T-zone.
How to apply
- Apply your usual foundation or BB cream and let it settle
- Use the included sponge or a fluffy powder brush
- Press or sweep the powder gently across the face, starting from the centre and working outwards
- Focus extra application on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) for shine control
- Tap off excess powder before applying to avoid over-application
- Re-apply through the day as needed using the compact's mirror
