Max Factor Pan Stik Foundation, 012 True Beige, 1 Count

I lovee this, I've been looking for a cream foundation (like Seint, which we still can't get in the UK) this is amazing. I put 2 lines on each cheek, 1 on the forehead, and 1 on the chin. Blend in with a fluffy brush. Gives a lovely coverage. Never looks cakey. Great for the everyday work/school run. I don't feel naked, it covers my red cheeks. I love it. Zero smell, lovely smooth application, creamy texture. Love it, I have normal/dry skin and it's brilliant.

I’m a 51 year old woman, I’m in the middle of a strict diet and I’ve lost a couple of stone. With that loss brought fine lines. This is my new fav! It doesn’t cake, doesn’t emphasise my lines at all, itsconsistency isn’t greasy or dry but it’s also not heavy, it’s lightweight and breathable. I swipe it on my cheeks and blend it in. Then I put some in my finger tip and use if for awkward spots, like corner of eyes or if I have a spot and it also acts as a great concealer. It has good coverage but it’s also buildable.

Definitely 5 stars ... it's not fashionable to use just now but I've never been a sheep..easy to apply, lovely texture and covers well... there's a reason it's been around for so long ..worth every penny

So far so good with this pan stick foundation. I suffer with rosacea and eczema which causes my face to look completely red and dry without makeup. I have a robust skin care routine and previously used Vichy Dermablend to cover all the redness but this was discontinued and I have sadly been trying and mostly failing to find an alternative foundation with the same coverage. Although this foundation is light and nowhere near as full coverage it does actually cover the redness for me when used with a beauty blender and setting spray. It’s also easy to pop in your bag for touch ups. The smell does take getting used to but I hardly notice it now. Wish this also wasn’t discontinued as I feel I could buy this again

It's quick and easy good coverage!

*Never tried this product before or a roll on foundation ever. I tried it on my hand as soon as it arrived. I couldn’t wait! It’s just so different to every other foundation I’ve ever worn.Why I love it:1. PRO: Small enough to fit in your hand bag, without leaking or making a mess in the handbag for touch ups. I love the winding wheel thing you can wind the product up and then down again. CON: of the size is that it IS a small size, so less product... which is why I gave it 4 stars for value for money.HOWEVER! ✨ you do not need to use a lot of the product! So it’s a good size and worth it I guess!2. It is so soft and silky, and blendable and buildable to full coverage or medium coverage. It is not thick and matte like camo foundations at all.3. I LOVE DEWY AND GLOW everything! (Even before everyone else clocked on!) was concerned the full coverage aspect would mean it would be matte, it IS DEWY FINISH. I love it. You only need to use a little of the product like i would say three times on the face. Unless you want full coverage and building it up. Medium coverage is fine for me, I don’t really have any skin issues thank goodness.4. I ordered the bronze shade, first and just one. I loved it so much, as soon as it arrived I ordered 3 other shades in the Pan Stik. Good if you just want to have for contouring as well.I’m in love with the product and the price is amazing on Amazon especially if you are a Prime customer.CONCLUSION: MAX FACTOR is the OG of makeup! The name originates from the term ‘ ‘maxillofacial’ 😉 clever huh? It the OG brand and it shows. It is not like Rimmel, Maybelline and even some L’Oréal products, it supersedes.And L’Oréal products are an amazing safe bet, always. But, this product is beautiful. It glides, I use a STIPPLE technique for most application of makeup. Or DABBING would be the equivalent with a DAMP beauty blender. Never dragging or wiping! TIP: when applying concealer under eyes, make sure the under eye area is foundation free and clean. Only apply the concealer to the under eye but leave space don’t apply all the way up to the lash line! You CAN avoid creases! Here’s how! The beauty blender spray it with fixing spray! Make sure it’s damp with fixing spray and keep dabbing and rolling under the eye repetitively for about 5 minutes under both eyes in total. It’s all in the application. And TIP2!! USE LESS PRODUCT! When applying setting powder under the eyes or baking, it will not leave creases under the eyes because you’ve applied the concealer properly and it’s been soaked in any fixing spray. I just use L’Oréal fixing spray for the blender but use my faves like ANB Dewy Set to finish and set my face. Also Revolution Pro has a gorgeous setting glow golden type spray. It’s NOT the 24carat Gold one. I have that too, and it’s not as good as the other goldie type Rev Pro fixing sprays.FACE MASKS TIPS! 😷!!!The only tried and tested fixing spray that doesn’t ruin my makeup with a damn mask on, and leaves nothing on the mask either! Is MAC PRIME AND PREP. All others STILL leave residue on the mask. So, that’s proof it’s not setting the makeup on the face is it!!TIP 3!!If you are old school and prefer powder based makeup still, using a fixing and setting spray is SO KEY! It stops the cakeyness of powder makeup - powder blush powder highlight etc. Spray after applying foundation and spray after each step all over the face, it will ensure that each powder layer whatever product it is - will NOT sit CAKEY! That is another wonder of setting and fixing sprays, the moisture is necessary especially for powder based makeup.Personally, I have always used and sought our cream and liquid products for absolutely everything and just dust powder blush on TOP of cream or liquid blush to set it. The same with a liquid or cream highlighter- brush a lil powder highlighter on top to set it, and it accentuates the blush and highlighter too! Et voila!Hope this helps!This product is GORGE! Okay, now I’m about to open my beauty bay haul! Lol! 😘💕💕

I ordered a few, as sadly these seem unavailable in the shops now. I’ve been using this on & off since the late 1980s but haven’t used for a good few years now. The ones I ordered in Noveau Beige are identical to the colour it was before and is a great colour for pale skin but avoids looking too pale or pasty. I now apply by putting it on a with a face sponge and the coverage, longevity and especially value for money by buying online is excellent. So quick & easy to apply and not messy, provides thicker coverage without feeling heavy on your face. Makes it look like you have a perfect complexion/skin, it’s non drying and doesn’t go into creases & wrinkles. So it’s still great for my older skin even though I first used it when I was a teenager. The smell is identical too, not overpowering but distinctive so I was pleased after reading reviews saying it wasn’t the same product anymore. Mine seems identical. Maybe it depends on what supplier you buy it from and where they source it as products can differ worldwide.
