Most foundations mask the skin with heavy coverage, then cling to dry patches and fine lines. Max Factor Miracle Second Skin Hybrid Foundation is designed to do the opposite, wrapping skin in breathable coverage that looks and feels like bare skin at its best. It evens tone while letting your natural texture and radiance show through.

This hybrid formula pairs cosmetic pigments with skincare-inspired ingredients to support both instant and long-term results. Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and urea help bind water to the skin for lasting comfort, while coconut-derived oils and extracts add a soft, conditioned feel. Antioxidant vitamin E, retinyl palmitate and plant extracts like rosemary and milk thistle help defend against everyday environmental stress.

The texture is a light, creamy fluid that melts on contact and blends out effortlessly with fingers, brush or sponge. It sets to a natural, softly radiant finish that resists looking chalky or heavy, even on drier areas. Wear remains flexible and comfortable, helping to minimise the look of dryness and patchiness as the day goes on.

Use it as your everyday base when you want skin to look polished but not overdone. The buildable coverage lets you sheer it out for a barely-there tint or layer slightly where extra evening-out is needed. For best results, apply over skincare that has fully absorbed to prevent slipping.

Hybrid makeup–skincare formula combines mineral pigments with humectants, emollients and antioxidants for both instant and ongoing benefits.Soft-focus mica and treated pigments help diffuse light to visually minimise uneven texture and fine lines.Film-forming polymers support longer wear while maintaining a flexible, comfortable feel on the skin.Prebiotic-inspired and botanical ingredients work alongside vitamins to help support the skin’s natural barrier function.

For a long-wear, polished look, pair this foundation with a smoothing primer underneath and a light dusting of setting powder where needed. Complete the routine with Max Factor concealer and powder formulas to spot-correct and refine without overloading the skin.

A breathable hybrid base that evens, hydrates and comforts, delivering real-skin coverage with skincare-inspired care.

• Step 1. Begin with cleansed, well-moisturised skin and allow your skincare to fully absorb.
• Step 2. Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand to control usage.
• Step 3. Dot the product onto the centre of the face and areas needing more evening-out.
• Step 4. Blend outwards using fingers, a brush or a damp sponge, working in thin layers.
• Step 5. Build a little extra coverage only where required, keeping the rest of the face sheer.
• Step 6. Allow the foundation to settle for a minute, then set areas prone to shine with a light dusting of powder if desired.

Pro Tips

• Apply over a smoothing or hydrating primer to tailor the finish to your skin’s needs.
• Use pressing and rolling motions with a damp sponge on areas of visible texture to maintain a skin-like finish.
• For a fresher look, leave the high points of the face powder-free and only set areas that crease or become shiny.
• Mix a drop with your moisturiser for an ultra-sheer, weekend tint on low-makeup days.
