Review, Swatches and Price of Coloressence Panstick Foundation + Concealer in shade- FS4
By Contributor: Debarati
Us shopaholics make some impulse buys and end up discovering some good products at cheap price tags. But there is a black side also my darlings!! Sometimes we end up investing so much money in buying a pricey product and it turns out a real mistake! These things are very common with impulse buyers as you know. So, today I am going to review and swatch the Coloressence panstick ( concealer + foundation ) And it was obviously an impulse buy. Read to know more is it worth the money or not.
Coloressence claims: Foundation stick- it provides a long lasting finished base on the skin, with its moisture balance and anti ageing formula. Its special components protect the skin against harmful effects of UV rays. It gives a smooth application to cover the flaws of the skin. Can also be used as concealer to give a flawless look to the skin.
My Review:
Packaging- coloressence panstick comes in a black plastick packaging. It has also a outer paper cover. But the packaging is quite simple and not so attractive. The cap is tight and doesn’t come out until you open it manually.
Shade- The shade I am reviewing is FS4- Pinkish Beige. It suits my skin the most among other shades. Any way it has a beige color with pink undertones. The shade name tells the whole story about shade.
Texture- it is expected that panstick would be hard as it may break from the base. It is not an exception. But when I swipe it on my face it feels soft and a good amount of product deposits on face. It takes some time to blend as it is not very creamy not oily either.
Coverage and performance- well. It has a decent coverage. It hides redness caused by acne and also dark circles around eyes. I use it both as concealer as well as foundation. When I apply it to the whole face I swipe it on face and then blend it with my fingers. When I use it as concealer I just take it with finger and then apply it on specific areas. When blended well, it gives a good coverage (not full though).
Staying power- It stays for around 4 to 5 hours. It is non sticky and non oily. This gives a matte finish. Oily skinned people may give it a try. I don’t use it in special occasions but for a casual outing sometimes I apply it and a compact over it. It is moisturizing but not gives an oily sheen to face which I like the most. But after 3 hours face starts to get oily.
Pros of Coloressence Panstick Foundation:
- Travel friendly packaging
- Affordable
- Shades match nicely with Indian skin tone
- Gives a decent coverage
- Stays for around 4-5 hours
- Suitable for oily skinned people
- Does not cause break out
- Can be used both as concealer and foundation
- Texture is soft
Cons of Coloressence Panstick Concealer:
- Takes some time to blend totally
- Packaging could have been better
- Limited shade selection
Price: Rs.185
VNA Rating: 3.5/5
Conclusion: Overall this is a nice product and can be used both as a foundation and concealer. Those who don’t like to use liquid foundations, can give it a try. It gives a nice coverage and staying time is also good at this price tag. It hides the flaws to a good extent. Beginners may buy it as their first concealer. This gives a matte finish and so it is worth trying. Recommended.

Wow i am getting it… Love using such sticks for daily use… Is it better than the maybelline one?
Hi mansi. I have also used the Maybelline one. Frankly the radiance one is lighter for me and the dark shade is darker than my skin tone. So it is difficult to choose one. Coloressence matches better with my skin tone.
I bought a new shade and I’m totally in love with it.. this s a really nice shade too… nice review di

Thanks sufia………but you know what the problem is? I think kryolan is not available in kolkata. It is only available online. As I am a beginner, I lack confidence in shade selection. So , it would be difficult for me to select shades online.
But thank you again for your kind reply
Love this stuff. I contour with it !
I was looking for a concealer and I think this one will suit me. I use coloressence foundation and compact in this shade. Will now try this one.
