Max Factor

I need opinions on max factor's pan stick makeup STAT. I need them before I decide to buy it. I have this awful habit of buying stuff and then looking it up. All reviews I have read online so far are mixed. Any pan stick users here?

 

[modelbehavior228]

aww, come on! Anyone?

 

[Organic]

no experience, have you tried www.makeupalley.com ?

 

[modelbehavior228]

yeah, but it seems to be mixed there as well.

Is their "nude ivory" shade in Panstik equivilant to a standard "plain" ivory shade of other brands?

 

[modelbehavior228]

yea! I bought it and it is great! Looks so lovely and natural on my face.

This news didn't exactly deserve its on thread, but it looks like Max Factor is phasing out its lines in the United States:

"Ladies, if Max Factor is a staple in your cosmetics case, you’ll want to stock up now. Procter & Gamble, which owns the 100-year-old cosmetics brand, is phasing out distribution of Max Factor in the U.S. by early next year. P&G will shift the brand entirely to markets abroad where Max Factor sales have been the strongest."

Have been seeing that coming for a long while...

The lightest shade is too dark for me, unfortunately.

Max Factor are a successful brand in the states surely? They make extremely good mascaras and always have big stars in their campaigns.

^ i thought that too.

I love their Lasting Perfection foundation. I dont wear it all the time because it can be a little too oily for me but it does give a nice matte look to the skin. The powder, im not a fan of.

however, the black Kohl eyeliner is absolutely AMAZING

I think sales in North America have been dwindling and P & G just isn't willing to support the brand anymore. They've been discontinued in Canada for a couple of years now. Too bad, because they do have a few products like their mascara & panstick that have very loyal customers.

I use their Pan Stick for years and it's perfect for under eye area but I never tried powder or foundations,becouse my dermatologist said that they are to heavy for face and that they close the pores,but I heard that a lot of them are very content with Lasting Performance Foundation and Age Renew Foundation.

Their Full and Soft mascara was AWESOME. I think it's still available in Germany, but I'm not sure. I really want it

That sucks. Max Factor 2000 is a great mascara.

I love their mascaras. Masterpiece max was superb and I will repurchase it after finishing False lash effect, which has little bit too big brush for my eyes. I like their foundations but they are little bit wrong shade. Recently i have used their pan stick again, it's ok.

Sadly Max Factor is being discontinued in the United States. I am troubled that I wll no longer be able to get the pan stick!

False Lash Effect Mascara is the actually the only Max Factor product I own.... and its amazing. Much better than CoverGirl's LB in my opinion.

I love their 2000 calorie mascara, it's the best mascara I've tried so far.

I loved all their mascaras, when I found out they were discontinuing their products in the USA I went to the closets drugstore and got myself all they have left, I'm still saddened they didn't do very well here! It's such an incredible brand!

 

[silk skin paws]

^^Yeah I've heard the brand isn't very popular in the US. Even before it was discontinued certain drug store chains never carried Max Factor products.
