    I love Pan-Cake foundation! This is really good makeup, if you take the time to learn to use it correctly. It is flawlessly matte, covers almost everything and lasts for hours without touchups!! I...

    I absolutely love this! I have occasional acne , fair skin w/ very pink undertones, and large pores. This actually covered all of that. I am surprised that only 60% would repurchase. It's so fun...

    Why did I wait so long to try this foundation? It is a fantastic product for very little money. Although it can be hard to find--CVS, Ulta, Walgreens, and Target did not have it--it is worth the...
