Max Factor Colour Elixir Honey Lacquer Lip Gloss 3.8ml in 30 Chocolate Nectar is a high-shine, intensely glossy lip gloss from the heritage British high-street brand. Designed to deliver a rich, honey-like layer of colour on the lips, the formula glides on smoothly for a comfortable, non-sticky shine — perfect for a polished, everyday glossy lip in a wearable warm-brown nectar tone.
About Max Factor
Max Factor is a heritage cosmetics brand founded in 1909 by Polish-born Hollywood makeup artist Maksymilian Faktorowicz, with a long-standing reputation for accessibly priced makeup with film-and-stage roots. The Colour Elixir range is one of the brand's longest-running lip lines, with the Honey Lacquer extension focusing on rich, glossy, high-shine finishes that hold their colour better than typical glosses.
Key benefits
- High-shine finish: Delivers a glossy, light-catching surface on the lips.
- Honey-like texture: Designed to sit comfortably on the lips without feeling sticky or thin.
- Wearable everyday shade: 30 Chocolate Nectar is a soft warm-brown tone, suited to daily wear.
- Compact 3.8ml format: Easy to carry in a handbag for top-ups during the day.
- Heritage high-street brand: Part of the Max Factor Colour Elixir line.
Who it's for
Chocolate Nectar suits anyone who likes a soft, polished lip with a touch of shine — particularly good for daytime, work and casual evening looks. The warm-brown tone flatters a wide range of skin tones and pairs naturally with classical neutral makeup or stronger eye looks where the lip plays a supporting role.
How to use
- Start with clean, exfoliated lips. A balm applied a few minutes before gloss helps with smooth wear.
- Pull the wand from the tube and wipe any excess against the rim.
- Apply a thin, even layer to the centre of the upper and lower lips, then press the lips together to spread the colour.
- Add a second layer for stronger shine and more colour intensity.
- Top up through the day as required.
