Max Factor Pan Stik Foundation, 25 Fair, Full Coverage and Smooth Texture for Dewy Skin Look, 9 g 774265

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! 😘💕💕

Wore this when younger and thought I would give a go again ! Prep skin well put on and rub in with damp makeup sponge and looks flawless no caking and stays on all day ! Great value for money

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.

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!

It's quick and easy good coverage!

Very surprised that this is only about the size of a lipstick, slightly wider but lipstick size all the same. Picture by a lipstick attached.I have never used a stick foundation before even though I'm in my forties so tried a few ways but found the best way to apply was by wiping my sponge over it and applying to my skin that way.I will say coverage is good, very very good. I applied it to test and then removed straight away and it was only when I removed it did I really appreciate the coverage it gives, I have some broken capillaries and redness and it really did hide a multitude. So 6 stars on coverage!! Its really ver very good.I unwound the entire stick and I'm pretty disappointed, it's not much, I've added a picture showing the extended amount. I would definitely get through this very quickly and I only apply foundation once a day and do not top up at all. I think this could, even at Amazons great price, be an expensive option to use.I ordered 2 because the price was great, I think the shade might be one shade too light, but acceptable all the same.Given the size and amount of foundation, I cant see this being a runner for me. I would normally get a few months from a bottle and I cant see one stick lasting nearly that long.I think coverage is really really good though, so I think it's worth having this in the drawer!Coverage 5+ starsSize 1 starShade 3 stars
