About Max Factor
Max Factor is the legendary American makeup house founded in 1909 by Polish-American Hollywood makeup artist Maksymilian Faktorowicz. After developing professional makeup for the silent-film era, Max Factor introduced the first consumer cosmetics in 1927 with the slogan suggesting every girl could look like a movie star using Max Factor makeup. The brand remains one of the most enduring names in accessible, high-quality colour cosmetics.

Shade
100 Firefly is a soft nude-pink — perfect for an everyday neutral lip with a subtle, polished colour. Flatters fair to medium skin tones in particular and works for office, daytime and casual evenings. An excellent choice as a versatile everyday lip.
Who it's for
Colour Elixir is ideal for anyone who wants vibrant, comfortable colour from an accessible high-street formula and who prefers a creamy, hydrating finish over a dry matte. Particularly well-suited to those who reapply through the day and want a moisturising formula that doesn't dry the lips out.
How to apply
- Start with clean, exfoliated lips; apply lip balm beforehand if your lips are dry
- Use a lip liner for crisp definition (optional), then apply Colour Elixir straight from the bullet
- Start at the centre of the lips and work outwards along the natural lip line
- Blot with a tissue and re-apply for a more saturated, longer-wearing finish
- Top up through the day for continuous comfortable colour
