I have been using MaXfactor Pan Stik in True Beige and Maybelline White Super Fresh Two-Way Cake Foundation in Nude Beige ever since I started college. The Pan Stick was recommended to me by my auntie who loved it for years before she could afford MAC cosmetics. So, because I wanted to try a new foundation, I went on and listened to her advice to try MaXfactor Pan Stik. Then I tried Maybelline White Super Fresh after seeing beauty gurus/youtuber Saytioco Artillero and Anne Clutz make a review about the product and how much it prevents oiliness the whole day.
You know what I love about the pan stik? It gives you full coverage and you won’t even need a concealer to hide your blemishes. It doesn’t feel that heavy on my face, but it doesn’t do the work on covering up dark circles. So you need an eye concealer dedicated to dark under eye circles if you really want that bright and fresh look. But I’m not that kind of woman who likes hiding her dark circles when she’s just in school, because girl, it is seriously way too dark to conceal after sleepless nights just to study. Let’s be proud of the bags than hide it!
The Pan Stik was created in 1948 and was only used by Hollywood makeup artists and was only dedicated for celebrities. It was then innovated to suit the everyday makeup need of women and has been in the market for decades. Even my auntie was surprised that it was still selling. But it wasn’t a surprise to me because it does the job on me just like how it did on Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth and many other beautiful celebrity years ago.
Before I forget, the pan stik is cream base and it suit all skin types. I use True Beige because it matches my skin and hides imperfections effortlessly. I just use sponge applicator after dabbing some product on my face and doubling it on parts that I want to conceal. I also love that it’s very handy and because it is full coverage, it’s thrifty to use. Mine last for about 3 months and I use it on a daily basis.
Let’s move on to White Super Fresh Powder Foundation… I received so many positive comments from other people both men and women about this product. They would say how fresh I look even if it’s sunny and women would ask what I am using. I think I only really do a serious retouch twice a day since I started using this powder foundation. I recommended this to my classmates and they loved it as well. But keep in mind that oil control foundation doesn’t look absolutely gorgeous on camera shots. I remember Pony [Korean makeup guru] saying that on one of her Youtube makeup video tutorial and had experienced it myself just last day in a group picture. I look fine but my face obviously doesn’t have any natural highlights. This product lasted me longer than the pan stik for about a week or two.
Now, I am on my second MaXfactor Pan Stik and refilled my Maybelline White Super Fresh Powder Foundation to get me ready for my second semester in college. You can purchase both brand in Watsons and inside SM Department Stores.
I first bought this because at that time I need new coverage for my face. Something that's not too thick and can be use daily. I've searched an d searched and finally came to this point where I found this one and did a lil research about it as well before buying it.
As i was digging more about this product, the more I realize that alot of people said that this stuff is good and worth the try, and i'm that kinda person who doesn't really scared to try new things, and there goes my money to buy this.
And I thought that "wow, it's quite good noticing that it's not a foundation or bb cream and so on. It's more like a powder but in liquid texture." So I bought shade N2 Ivory. It's the lightest shade they have here in Indonesia and since i have quite light shade of skin, so the BA assist me on buying this shade.
This is their claims.
The additional info about exp. dates and so on, on the side of the product.
The packaging is okay, it's travel-friendly also because it's not too big and not that fragile. But since the texture is quite watery, I wish they provide the cap with the pump instead of this one because it spills easily every time I try to pour it out to the back of my hand.
You have to shake it gently before pouring it out.
The swatches on the back of my hand. And if you could see, it's quite cakey on my hand. Maybe because my hand is dry. Let's see the swatches on my cheeks
I don't have perfect skin but it's good because I could give you an honest review just by showing it. You could see it covers the overall redness but not the acne redness and scars. At first I didn't realize it, so when I go outside I feel confidence but when I get the chance to look at a mirror, OMG!! it turns out flakey, cakey and it didn' covers my fine lines instead it shows more of it.
Cakey? Yes definitely! Sticky? it's not that sticky though. Pores, and fine lines minimized? I don't think so, right? infact it shows more of my pores >.< Not sure if you find my swatches okay, the camera sometimes didn't do justice to everything.
I don't feel natural at all because I feel like using too much foundation though actually I don't really use much of it because I don't like too heavy makeup for daily use. Tho it does brighten my skin.

Is Maybelline pressed powder good for oily skin? The Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder is dermatologically tested, allergy tested and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for normal to oily skin types.
How do I choose compact powder?
Avoid grey or ashy skin tone by choosing the exact colour as per your skin undertone. And for coverage, if you want a more natural finish, then go for sheer coverage compact, or translucent powder. Well, a medium or full coverage powder helps even out the imperfections and uneven skin tone.
