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 Velvet Matte variation offering a luxurious, plush matte finish.
Key benefits
- Velvet matte finish — luxurious plush matte that's not flat or chalky
- Rich pigment payoff — full coverage in a single swipe
- Long-wearing — colour stays put through meals, conversation and busy days
- Comfortable formula — does not feel as drying as harsh liquid mattes
- Buttery, smooth glide — applies without dragging or tugging the lips
- Sleek bullet packaging — handbag-friendly and elegant
Shade — 55 Desert
Desert is a warm, sun-baked terracotta-nude shade with rich, earthy undertones — a sophisticated, slightly autumn-leaning lip colour that flatters a wide range of skin tones. Pairs beautifully with both bold smoky eyes and natural daytime makeup looks, making it a polished everyday option for confident lipstick wearers.
Who it's for
This lipstick is for anyone who loves a polished, slightly sophisticated nude-toned lip with a luxurious matte finish — particularly those who want a comfortable wearable matte rather than a heavily drying liquid lipstick. The warm desert tone makes it especially gorgeous in autumn and winter, and the accessible price point makes it a great staple for any lipstick wardrobe.
