When I first heard the name Pan-Stik Makeup I immediately thought of the old-fashioned pancake style make up from the 40s and the heyday of Hollywood. After all it was Max Factor who invented pan cake makeup. When the shift in Hollywood went to color films, changes in the style of make up and its application became necessary. Soon the entire makeup-buying population was following the trend set by Max Factor.

But I needn’t have feared thick and heavy coverage that looked old-fashioned or worse; Max Factor is still the company that sets trends. Max Factor’s Pan-Stik is light and creamy with a silky matte finish. It is easily blendable with a fingertip but a damp sponge will create a professional foundation. It did a good job of evening out skin tones and didn’t seem to clog in pores or look thick.

I liked the portability of the Pan-Stik. It can’t break or spill out into your purse, it’s light and fits conveniently into even a small bag.
