Max FactorPan Stik Foundation 13 Nouveau Beige

I bought this to wear for summer. It’s quick and easy if you want color on your face before ya gotta run out the door. It’s gives pretty good coverage too. What I liked about this product is it’s not oily or tacky at all. It blends into your skin nicely with fingers or a foundation brush and it gives you a matte finish so you don’t even really need to use powder if you don’t want to. It also had great staying power. I was lazy and didn’t wash my face before bed and when I woke up I looked in the mirror and I looked just as fresh as I did when I first put it on! I used makeup wipe to remove the makeup and it came off easily. I have no doubt that if I use this for a more full face makeup, it will look great and hold up through the night. This was my first experience using a stick foundation and I’m impressed. I will take this particular foundation with me when I travel too. No more worries about a bottle leaking. I will buy this again.

Max Factor's Pan Stik Foundation has been around for years and years but now, for some reason, it's been discontinued which makes it almost impossible to find any of the product still remaining. This product provides full coverage without looking thick or overdone and leaves your skin looking flawless. It's easy to apply - just dab it on and blend - and it stays on all day and doesn't rub off! Fabulous, fabulous product!! Can't understand WHY Max Factor stopped making it . Found this shade (Nouveau Beige) on Amazon and jumped at it even though it wasn't my normal shade (Medium Beige). Since the product is now scarce, the price has gone through the roof, so I'm forced to find an alternative product that isn't so pricey. As good as this product is, I have my monetary limit! When I found this shade at a reasonable price on Amazon, I ordered it, but the actual product was a smaller size than what I'd been buying in the past (.5 oz.) - it's probably .3 oz. Good product, reasonable price, but will continue my search to find a good alternative (price-wise and performance-wise) to this great, classic foundation.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I originally bought this as a mobile back up but the ease of application, the coverage without appearing thick and cakey and not making me look too pale and made up....have changed my mind. I went from some tinted spf moisterizers, fairly high end B&B's to some more reasonble air brush make ups. Most were good to ok but there was also this thick paleness that was hard to shake. Not to mention an ever evolving price mark up.I like this alot. It's reasonably priced and the color I choose is a a good match. And it's oh so easy to apply. Blends easily and stays put. Covers well without appearing chalky. I'm in.

Very nice blend.

Love , easy to match goes on no shinny able to blend well.

I remember using Pan Stiks in college for theatre. This is smaller, but the size will be great for traveling on the airline, because it's not liquid. The coverage is marvelous - so smooth and covers every flaw and lasts all day. The only ingredient is does not have is sunscreen, so be sure to put on sunscreen underneath.

I ordered #60 Deep Olive and #13 Noveau Beige. I read previous reviews that most of the shades are lighter in person than from the chart. And I gotta say I agree but not by much. I overestimated and got both shades too dark for my skin tone. Deep Olive does have a pink tone to it while Noveau Beige has more of a neutral tone. I have a yellow undertone but can make Noveau Beige work for me. I think Noveau Beige can work for a bit of contouring but I’m going to go for a lighter shade. Both applied very well and felt creamy. The #60 Deep Olive shade came without a plastic wrap. It looked new and unopened but it would have been nice to have the plastic wrap for reassurance. Both are small containers, but I paid under $9 for each one.

Very misleading was the size of lipstick not of a normal panstick foundation wish could give zero stars
