Max FactorPan Stik Foundation, 60 Deep Olive

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.

*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 would like to start off by saying how small of a product this is as the picture is extremely misleading as this foundation is just a little bit bigger than a conealer stick, which really annoyed me when this product first arrived. Considering the size of this product though it would last you quit awhile because they do give you quit a bit to work with. The foundation is great but it didn't cover up my veins on the temples of my face which was something else that annoyed me considering the price of this product and the raving reviews behind it. I personally feel that without a primer it wouldn't last as long as it does with one and a loose poweder really settles the colour down and foundation onto your face within an hour of applying it. When you frst put it on you do look a bit cakey but it's the sort of foundation that has to settle on your face to achieve the greatest of results. I feel it looks to overdone for a day time look so i would strongly suggest wearing this in the evening rarther then the day if you want the more natural look. This foundaion does last nearly all day, dosn't feel sticky at all, and dosn't make your skin dry out or look oily at the end of the day. I only managed to wear this foundation for 6 1/2 hours before i took it off to have a shower and it still looked like i had just applied it; i don't feel that you would get the same results without a primer or powder because you will need something for it to stick to. Would I purchase again? yes, but in a shade lighter as i feel that this was slightly too dark for me but not very noticeable to the untraiend eye.

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.

Lovely foundation. Moisturisering and good colour for my skin. I've heard its been discontinued, I hope not .

Excellent product for a reasonable price

Such an iconic product but I have never used it as I assumed it'd be heavy. I was wrong as it's a light texture but gives excellent, flawless coverage on my dry, redness prone skin. Colour match is great too, I chose the lightest shade and it's perfect.Who knew! My new favourite and I've tried most!
