Have you ever had that problem where you’ve been out the house all day and your face just needs touching up? Yeah I had this problem before meeting a friend and had nothing on me. I quickly took a wander into Boots and found this Max Factor Pan Stik. It was small, cheap and I trust most Max Factor Makeup. So I bought it and re-applied my makeup.
I picked this foundation because Max Factor are usually good with their pale shades. Shade 13, Nouveau Beige is slightly too dark for me unfortunately. But, it did it’s job of touching up my foundation. I’d say powder is necessary to match it to my skin better for everyday though.
It’s really small and ‘handbag sized’ which is perfect for me. It also doubles as a concealer because it’s full coverage. That means I can just go over blemishes throughout the day. I also enjoyed the lipstick style packaging as you have to spin the bottom for the stick to move up. There seems to be a lot of product for the price of £8.
The Max Factor Pan Stik has a creamy formula and is a block of solid foundation. It glides onto the skin really well and blends out easily. It’s better on dryer skin as with oily skin it does make you look oilier. Because it’s full coverage it’s not the greatest for my skin in general. My skin breaks out very easily, and this product does seem to make it worse slightly.
Overall, it’s not the best for my everyday makeup routine. But, I would gladly take it with me if I was going out all day and night and knew I would need to touch up my make-up.

I've never thought of using a solid foundation before - this looks interesting.
