Reply With QuoteMy mum swears by ti - i always find it too drying and it makes my lipstick go all bobbly after a few hours which is horrid. I'm resigned to just having to reapply lippie throughout the day sadly.
If it flakes off you're putting it on too thick. It's meant to be a very light/sheer layer.

I think is also depends what lipstick you use with it. Nearly all of my lipsticks, including my rimmel and bourjois lipsticks work fine with it, allowing them to last all day. However I've tried lipcote with revlon's matte lipstick and it goes very sticky and clumps up, not a pretty site! Luckly this matte lipstick lasts all day anyways, so don't need lipcote to keep it put. But for other lipsticks it brilliant!Originally Posted by lareine

I'll have to look for it or it's equivalent here in the states. It's good to know that it doesn't work with every lipstick, as I'd probably try it and have it go wrong and think it was me or the tube was no good. Thank you ladies.

Just wanted to say I really like the Panstick. It actually held up to Florida's humity and my sweating this morning when I took my kid to the park.
Thank you for the update. I can't imagine keeping any foundation on in FL in summer! What's the consistency of the stick like? Creamy at all? I keep imagining it will slide right off, I don't know why. How easy does it apply?Just wanted to say I really like the Panstick.

I bought a round of Max Factor Pan-cake off ebay and I'm in love. I've been meaning to take a photo of it in the container along with some swatches to show just how different the color is while wearing compared to compacted in the cake. It takes me less than 30 seconds to put this foundation on with a damp sea sponge, and it covers beautifully. It has lasted all day through some very hot, sweaty trips in the car and while moving house. The only thing I'm confused about is how to use concealer with it. I haven't tried it with anything yet, but I'm afraid because of its paint-like consistency, it won't work well with a creamy concealer.
It's pretty creamy. I dabbed my finger on it and put it on that way. It covered well and evened out my skin, I am really happy with it
I compared a vintage tube of Revlon Fire and Ice (1961) and a modern tube (2010) side by side.
The 1960s lipstick is a little deeper than the new one, it's also thicker and glossier. It must have been very long wearing because I couldn't get it off of my wrist with makeup wipes and baby oil.
I am bugged beyond recall. tumblr
Yeah, lipcote is great for the long lasting staying power for your lipstick but I find it dries your lips out a bit. However, after many a trial I find If I blend a little lip blam (with a brush) in with the lipstick this problem is reduced. Also It is key you blot and let your lipstick dry on a bit before plainting a thin coating on and letting tht dry also (sounds funny but try not to close your lips until it stops being sticky to touch) This should altogether stop the flaking and if you want to have double the shield, then paint on another thin coating ontop of the first and leave to dry again.
wow yeah that 60's lipstick looks vivid and super lush, It surprising revlon chnaged the'recipe' for the same colour and type. Mabye it was due to the ease of removal, ingedients or popularity who knows, But cosmetic companies are always changing thier 'recipes' trying to improve the products. I have lost many a decent hairspray, shampoo and foundation to such ploy but hey you can't avoid it youjust have to keep hunting for that perfect product .
Love that you did this comparison. Thank you!I compared a vintage tube of Revlon Fire and Ice (1961) and a modern tube (2010) side by side.
