Max Factor Pan Stik Foundation - 060 Deep Olive | Oil-Free, Long-Lasting Makeup for Oily Skin | Perfect for Daily Wear & Special Occasions

It’s about the size of a tube of lipstick.My mother has been using this foundation for years and was crushed when they stopped making it in the United States. So glad that Amazon is still keeping these in stock so my mother remains happy lol.This is the makeup I love the most and have been using for over 40 years! SO happy to have found it again. Extremely well made.Very easy to spread, full coverage, you don’t need a lot to cover face. I used this back in middle school, it looked a lot different at that time, and they gave you more product as well. The smell brings back memories!! Love it. Use a good powder with it so it doesn’t get too oily.This is the best face-coverage there is out there!Easy to use. Great natural coverGreat price for this hard to fnd item, and just the fair/light color I need. It is a smaller size than used to be sold regularly for less here in the States, but as it has become so hard to find locally, Amazon is now the only place I can find it consistently, and I will pay what they charge. Noticed since moving back to the US from overseas that either it is unavailable at local retailers and drugstores or that only the darkest shades can easily be found. I know in Ireland, it is easy to find, in the UK, in many European countries, too, although the packaging was slightly different in shape and the containers were slightly larger there.I have freckles, some broken capillaries which look like red threads across my cheeks and am very, very fair year round, even with a "tan" in Summer. I tend to burn and peel, vs darken or tan. I need this stuff! It acts as a moisturizer, tinted foundation, color corrector for dark circles under my eyes, light acne cover-up, and light sunscreen when worn under translucent mineral veil powder.I apply with a slightly damp, good quality MAC makeup sponge which is not latex rubber; it covers but isn't thick or irregular looking. It hides the redness, unevenness and discoloration of my very fair skin, but when applied this way, it is not matte or cakey looking. Lasts all day and is very true to color, a perfect match for my very fair, Irish-Austrian complexion.I have only ever broken out when using this makeup, if either the sponge was not cleaned regularly enough, or if I applied it over blemished, already irritated skin. Otherwise, no skin issues or irritation from its use--and I've been using it nearly every day since the early 1980s.Company has changed its formula slightly over time, it seems; it is less thick, less matte and less cakey after several hours of wear. It still spreads easily and is still very creamy in texture. The color numbers and names seem to still be the same/match my skin tone, as before. A little goes a long way, just as before.I wish Pan Stik was as available as it used to be, in every drugstore and chain store in town and I wish they still made it for sale here in the US, in the same size tube for the same price.I have been using panstick since my teen years, long time ago, I love it when they stopped selling in stores was very happy to order online at amazon, love itThis is not the no 13 Noveau Beige I usually have boughtCompared to original -different shade smells different & affects my skin-tingly which it never didI notice the one I got is made in GermanyOriginal one was made in IrelandWould not recommend. Bought this because it was much cheaper than the high street, which should’ve been enough to set alarm bells ringing. Within minutes of application, my cheeks were burning, bright red and painfully itchy. 2 days later after not using it, they are still bright red and sore. On comparing it with my usual high street pan stick, there were subtle differences with the packaging, and the cheaper one was way too scented. Will not buy again, stick to genuine high street products that don’t leave your face bright red, itching and sore.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.I've been using Max Factor panstick for 30 years. I've tried many brands but always come back to panstick. I'm very pale so prefer the fair colour but also use the True Beige shade of I want a bit more colour depth. Panstick is do easy to apply, either with fingers, brush or sponge. It has excellent coverage and is not greasy. Coverage is fantastic and it lasts a long time. Its also great to use as a top up during the day or especially as a concealer. I also love the smell, it's that glamorous 50s smell that reminds me of pin up girls. Try it, you won't be disappointed
