    I rarely use this foundation, but I do love it. This isn't something I would ever imagine using for every day wear, but it photographs beautifully. Like the other reviewers said, you need to apply...

    I have Medium Beige and it is a tad too orange. It's too dry and chalky. It's too sheer and doesn't conceal any dark areas. Cakes up, so the name is appropriate!

    Yeah, so this stuff is old-school, but I have to say I like it as a backup (I'm normally a liquid foundation user). I have pretty good skin to begin with, but you can build the coverage if you just...

    Max Factor Pan-Cake was the first foundation I was exposed to as a young girl. It was my mother's staple. She rarely wore makeup, as she had the most beautiful ivory complexion. But when she went...

    Made my skin so dry and tight. It was also hard to apply. Color choice sucks big time. ( I tried them all) Did not work for me.

    I just figured out how to apply it today...... not with a wet sponge, but with a foundation brush & Evian spray. Step: (1) spray some water mist onto the pancake (2) use foundation brush to pick up...

    This is not the best product on the market when it comes to pancake makeup. The real thing applies much better than what this stuff does, trust me. Joe Blasco, Ben Nye, and RCMA are the best...

    I use this during special occassions, and I must say....it does look natural, applied with a wet sponge. Although it doesn't control my oily skin that much, I love how light it feels when applied....

    I didn't like this at all. I'd give it no lippies if I could, but I figure that I probably just did not apply it correctly, so I will give it some slack. No matter how much I wet the sponge or...
