    I like this foundation a lot. I know most are not huge fans of almost-full to full coverage, but I like it because my skin is quite blotchy with large pores. I am quite fair and am using natural...

    I love Pan-Cake! I'm sure a lot of people hate it, but I like how easy it is to vary the coverage, and it's not gloppy or cakey. I really only wear foundation if I'm being photographed, and this...

    This stuff has surprised me. I bought a cake because I needed something for photos, and I expected the coverage to be heavy, thick, and unnatural. Instead it has proven to be natural-looking and...

    One of the better foundations out there, even if the cost is a bit high. The directions say wet the sponge, but I've found you can get better coverage if you also wet the cake as well.

    I just got this tonight and gave it a slight test run. I was really pleased with the way it went on. . I have a tendency to get too much foundation in my 'peach fuzz' and have it cake up. The...

    I've tried a lot of foundations, and this is one of the worst. The only way I can describe it is as an orange stick of Crisco. It is heavy and unnatural, and even the lightest shade is too dark...

    It's just a normal drugstore product. The coverage is OK but it's like clay pasted on face. The department store products have better finish than pan-cake. I don't hate it. I like the package and...

    This makeup doesn't cover anything. On my skin it just looks like really watered down foundation that dried on my skin. I don't see how it has buildable coverage.

    Whether you like Pan-Cake depends on your "look." If you like a greasy, shiny, tanned look, it is not for you. If you like a soft, matte, porcelain doll look, you will love it. I discovered...
