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. Now part of Coty, the brand bridges professional artistry and accessible everyday beauty. The Colour Elixir line is its hero lipstick collection, with the Soft Matte variation offering a modern, comfortable matte finish.

Shade — 40 Soft Berry
Soft Berry is a flattering muted berry-pink shade — a versatile cool-leaning tone that suits a wide range of skin tones and works equally well for office wear, weekends and evenings out. Berry shades are particularly flattering in autumn and winter, but Soft Berry's muted character keeps it wearable year-round.
Who it's for
This lipstick is for anyone who loves a sophisticated matte lip but wants comfort rather than dryness. The everyday-wearable shade and accessible price point make it an excellent staple lipstick for makeup beginners, busy women looking for a reliable matte option, and anyone building a versatile lipstick wardrobe.
