There are definitely better foundations (even from MF), but this is a 5 stars concealer when you want to have a "no make-up" day! It's easy to apply, evens the skin tone and has good coverage. You...

I'll get the bad out of the way first. The black plastic case for the Pan Stik breaks fairly easily. I've had to tape it up to keep it together. The case cracks down the middle, and then the...

Industrial strength stuff, I like to use this as a concealer. The formula is quite thick so you only need to use a tiny bit. It smells kind of powdery and comes in a swivel up-down stick. The scent...

This concealer is definitely not for oily skin. It transfers and does not want to blend. It creases on me too, and it accentuates dry patches. It has poor coverage.
