Is there any die hard Pan Stick users our there? I used to wear it but it seemes to transfer very easily onto clothing but it wore like iron. I never tried using powder to set it however. If you like it I would like your opinion of it. Thanks,:rolleyes:

When I first joined this forum, I was a HUGE diehard fan of Panstik! It was my end-all, be-all of foundations! And I still do love it, though I have put it to the side to make way for newer goodies to play with ;).

I could never get away w/o using a loose powder to set it with, however -- I have to use loose powder for EVERY foundation I use, actually. I'd feel naked w/o it, and my foundation would be all over the place if I didn't.

Panstik always gave me the most flawless complexion and never let me down when I had an important event to go to! Thumbs up from me :)!

What type of skin do you have and what kind of powder do you use? I think I might have to get Pan Stick again. I have a hard time with getting the right color.

My skin type has always been normal/combo, but now that I'm getting a bit older, it's starting to lean towards dry at times. The color that works for me is Nude Ivory (I tend to wear the 2nd to lightest foundation in other lines, as a reference).

The powder that I swear by is Coty's Naturally Luminous Airspun l/p -- it imparts a pearly glow that's not over the top, and sets my makeup beautifully.

HTH a bit!

L'Oreal's Quick Stick is pretty good and goes on like a dream.

I love Panstik, and I use it as a concealer under my eyes. I have a light-to-medium skin color; I'm between the second and fourth shades in most foundation lines. I always, always set with powder and I have no problems with it transferring.

I used to use it every day but then it started making my eyes burn. It may just have been my eyes becoming more sensitive but at the time I assumed they changed something. I should try it again after all these years though. I'm probably missing out! HA! I always always always set my cream foundation with powder. Panstick needs to be set with powder for sure because it's oily!

I use it as concealer and it's been really good to me. I'm still on my first tube and it's been a few years already. It covers my flaws like no others and never comes off until I wash it off at the end of the day.
