I have this in a very dark brown-black (magicake aqua) colour to use as cake eyeliner as Olivia from Maquillageobscura said this worked better for the purpose than their actual marketed cake eyeliner. It’s quite good although takes time to get used to- it does give you time to buff it a bit to soften.

Oh. Oh my. Oh. My. God.
HG alert. This is what $14? I have probably 200 bottles of high end, low end foundation, you name it.
Do you have oily skin? This stays on all day, is so easy and leaves skin with a semi matte finish and by the end of the day I’d say satin.
I apply with a damp beauty blender and set with loose powder or not, up to you. The colors apply/set to a lighter shade than the pan. I’d say I’m NC20-25 in Mac. I got barely beige ( perfect winter shade) and Japanese ( perfect summer shade). But I’d even venture to go Shinsei light or Shinsei fair.
This is amazing, looks natural and you gotta try it!

If you were a fan of the Max Factor pancake makeup, then you might like this also. I haven’t used it often because cake foundation can be unforgiving if you have drier skin. My skin is becoming less dry and more normal so I thought I would give cake makeup another try.
I had to order this online and I chose my color as PC-36 Light Tan. I am NC20 and this is a good match for me.
This morning I applied my sunscreen and a little primer in my t zone. I wet my sea sponge with very little water, rubbed it into the cake and then stippled the foundation into my skin. I used a regular makeup sponge also to help blend it out. I added another layer where needed. Then I added concealer to my undereye area. It looked very good and I moved on to applying the rest of my makeup. I did not use any powder. After 5 hours it still looks fine and my skin is not dried out and doesn’t appear cakey.
I am uncertain about the feasibility of wearing this daily but I will attempt to wear it 1 to 2 times a week from now on.

I love this and have only been using it for a few days. I don’t have a lot of things that need covering up, a little uneven skin tone, dark circles, some PIH from pimples and picking. But this stays on and even when used correctly. The key is in two things using the right sponge, and ok one more-blending while still wet. I brought both the Chinease and Japeanse cake to blend, the names are out of the date, probably havennt been changed since the 40’s. But I find it stays put, covers great and as long as you match your color correctly and blend well, it looks great even in day light Picking your shade online can be tricky I went to a Costume store in Chicago at carried the colors and the testers. Japeanse looks like my perfect shade until you apply it, all of the cakes dry on the skin lighter then they appear. So Chinease which looks much darker goes on darker when wet drys to a beatiful color. I set with my BB Golden Orange or yellow Kroylan powder. So I picked Japeanse it appears to be a olive golden color, very little orange or green, didnt work out as well, but perfect for a Medium light skinned Asian Complexion plenty of yellow undertones no red, really nice like Laura Mericer Vinillia Beige. Chinease appears dark almost like a fake tan color, but when applied is perfect for my BB Golden Natural color, or a next shade up from NARS Barcelona. a little bit of peach not so much, Im in my early 30’s and I love this this when properly blended and color matched looks great. Will be giving my light-medium Golden Beige Mother the Japeanse cake it looks great on all ages, holds up well. But you need to be vigilant about using a separte Makeup Remover for this. This stays put.

I use this as a foundation. I take the amount i am going to use fron container using an espatula and mix two colors, then with the wet sponge i apply and blend while it is wet. It gives a great coverage and stay all day even with my combination skin.

I found this online and saw all the great reviews. it was $11 so there wasn’t really anything to lose. Wrong! so wrong. first i couldn’t tell what color i was since I had to order it online. I’m in between light and medium with yellow undertones so I ordered Bisque. I tried to put it on today. It was white on my skin. I guess that’s my fault, but still. I tried to apply it with a wet sponge, a dry sponge, a wet brush. Nothing worked! It gave absolutely no coverage. It didn’t blend very well. It was overall just terrible. Oh and by the way with the outrageous shipping cost, I think it added up to be around $20. I will try to maybe figure out a better way to apply it, but I doubt it will ever work. This was so disappointing, don’t waste your money on this!

First I have to say that I have never worn this stuff outside of my home. Only played with it to see the possibilities. Finding the right color was a bit hard. If the color looks like it matches your skin, go for the next darker color. It dries lighter once on your skin. I’m an NC-15/20. I tried Bisque & Cine Fairest but they were too light looking. Or a better use for them in winter? I might use them to mix. Use them around my forehead or jawline. The best color I found for me (summer color) was Cine Beige.
I thought this would be my HG foundation since I’m fairly oily and sweat quite a bit. Buuuut it turns out I’m lazy & this takes more effort than I’m willing to do for a daily thing.
I will absolutely use this for a formal/dressy occasion (if I ever happen to go to one…) because the look I achieved with this was fantastic! I suddenly had this smooth china-doll skin. You couldn’t see the makeup.
After using my rosewater toner, I applied this with a wet makeup sponge/wedge. Using a water/LiquiSet mixture. Blotting it over my face. Let it nearly dry, then smoothing it with my hand. It smoothed out suprisingly evenly.
I was not capable of getting it to look good under my eyes. This is partly due to my not repeatedly trying different methods. I did read another MUA poster who uses it successfully under her eyes with a silicone mixture. (User: sefis) So I think I’ll try her method soon & see how it works for me! Thanks 🙂
After having applied it, let it dry and then did housework. Sweating while cleaning, I happened to check out my face in the mirror & this stuff was still hanging tough just as I had applied it. Nice!
I do use it as a top-powder for particularly bad blemishes on top of my Ben Nye concealer.
Seems like a great product, I just have not used it enough.

I haven’t tried this product as an all over the face foundation, but I have used it to set my undereye concealer. I apply my concealer, then my foundation, and then I apply the Color Cake onto my undereye area. I then apply my powder all over my face and over my undereye area to blend. It looks okay as far as I can tell – adds some nice extra coverage. The Color Cake applies with a matte texture.
The shade I purchased is Bisque, which is about a shade or two too light for me. I didn’t get to try a tester at the costume store that I purchased the Cake Foundation from. The yellow tone of Bisque works fine though since I am using it under my eyes. So far though, I am able to blend my powder in with the Cake Foundation.
I would recommend this product for use as I am using, but don’t know how well it works for a foundation. It seems pretty heavy coverage.

First of all, I have VITILIGO for now on my hands and a little on my face and I am brown so it shows up like a neon sign. I have tried so much makeup hoping to find that it had the staying power of the mistress of a rich man in Paris. I LOVE this cake makeup! Talk about flawless? OMG! I can’t stop looking at my beautiful self! I tested it out at Atlanta Costumes here in Atlanta and it’s really hot outside and I stayed out for hours walking around with my fiance.
I sealed the cake with Final Seal from Ben Nye too and mixed the cake with Nye’s mixing liquid and fixative, can’t remember the name of it but it’s a richer mix than with just water, meaning, you get a richer color on your skin in my opinion.
I just got home and my hands look very good even after washing them which I always do when I come home. I used a bit of soap but didn’t use the soap on my back of my hands where the cake is, just hot water and the makeup is still there sans around the cuticles. It’s still on the cuticles but not as much as it was before washing my hands, although not perfect anymore on my hands but certainly good enough!
My face looks as if I just applied it and even better actually as now it’s melded into my skin. The color is alive not dead as I hear some people say with pancake. Not Ben Nye! Ben rocks! And $9??? Come on! Ben Nye has an excellent moisturizer that I also used and the sales lady said it was great so I bought it…for $8. Ha! Remember, though, buy the mixing liquid and Final Seal. You will not go wrong and it’s WATERPROOFED (more than anything I’ve ever tried) No\w we all can look beautiful from morning to evening with no muss no fuss.
I’m so happy that I can now use this cake makeup for longevity and not worry about it sliding off onto paper and objects in the office or a restaurants. I can wipe my hands on my face and no makeup. I can dry wipe my hands and no makeup! When I wash my hands, I just pat to dry and the makeup reverts back to being immovable. I’m in love. Lemme go look at my beautiful self again…(smile)…

This is a great foundation but does take some practice to get it right, if overapplied or not applied in the correct way it can become chalky or cakey. It can be applied wet or dry but I have found much better success applying it wet, with a lightly damped sponge (the big yellow sponges they sell at home depot for doing tile/grout cleanup are the exact same as the hydra sponge sold by ben nye.. for .99 you can buy one and cut it up to make many sponges). When applying it wet it is very important to pat/blend before the foundation dries, as per the instructions, if you do not do this it is much more likely to end up looking cakey. Rather than pat with my hand I use a second, dry sponge to blend it in.
Another way to apply it that is even better in my opinion is to mix it with a little silicone to create a liquid primer/foundation all in one, I use a blend of 97% cyclomethicone and 3% dimethicone DM1000 (ingredientstodiefor.com). I put that silicone mixture in a 1oz. airless treatment pump and to use I dispense one pump directly onto the cake, then blot it up with a damp hydrasponge and apply to face. When using this method you do not have to worry about patting it in or using a second sponge to blend, the silicones keep the product from caking and allow you to build up good coverage using a very small amount of product. (this same method works wonders with ben nye concealers too)
As others have stated, the colors on this can be difficult to match, they tend to look much darker in the pot than they do once it dries on your skin. FYI I am a redhead NW15 and I use the Ingenue shade, for slightly darker like NW20 I think the shade Fair Lady would work well.
