What color is comparable to sun tan #137?

In the "GOOD OLD DAYS" when I bought Max Factor Panstik here in the USA, I always bought the Suntan tone. Now, I have been buying the Medium from sellers in Great Britain and Ireland. It seems pretty close to the original tone I used. I certainly wish Max Factor would revive the old-fashioned Panstik colors and size we enjoyed here.

WHERE CAN I FIND Pan Stick in Medium in Chicago, Illinois ?

HiWe are a UK based company. From the feedback from many customers I understand that this product is no longer available in the US. We do however send stock in to Amazon full fillment centres if you wish to purchase from AmazonKind regards

I used to wear Medium Beige 129. Does anyone know which UK shade is the closest match?

That's the shade I used to wear. I ordered "Nouveau Beige" and it's a pretty near match, but be aware that the container is smaller by about a third. But here's the good news - for a very good substitute now that Max Factor very stupidly discontinued their FABULOUS Pan Stik foundation, try Kryolan TV Paint Stick foundation - this is a very, very good product and much cheaper than Max Factor because you get more and it lasts forever. I sent a color sample of Max Factor Medium Beige 129 to a vendor (either Stage Tones or Camera-Ready - I forget which one) and they color-matched it for me. The closest match was their Kryolan color OB1. This makeup is used for high definition TV but you can wear it everyday. It's not QUITE as good as Max Factor, but it's very, VERY good. I LOVE it, and will continue with it even if Max Factor resurrects Pan Stik. Check it out! You can find it on Amazon, or just google it. Another good substitute is made by theatrical cosmetics compay, Mehron, but I prefer Kryolan - FABULOUS !!! Check it out! Good luck!

Is it me or does all these shades have pink undertones besides true beige which is to light unfortunately because I've been tanning

No, only some. I bought all of the colors when they started making the Pan Stick in Ireland. I found the best summer and winter colors for myself and I gave others to my mom and sister or use for contouring. This is the best makeup and I have used it for 27 years. So grateful to hgave found they are still making it.

Outstanding Makeup

This is the best foundation ever! I am in my 50's and I am so sorry to see that Max factor isn't available in the USA anymore, unless you purchase it here. I remember this brand in my teens & 20's. It really is high performing and covers everything! I hope it comes back to be sold again in drugstores, there is nothing like it.

The quick stick!

This is a really great product! It is very easy and quick to apply. Covers imperfections nicely, also working as a concealer. ... I give this product 4 out of 5 stars because the colors run very light. I purchased the #12 True beige, it appears on the skin as more of an Ivory/light color. This foundation blends very well making it a go-to product for those who like a quick & easy makeup routine!

Still an Excellent Product

I was so happy to find this is still made! I was telling my daughter I used this in high school, and took a chance and looked it up. The color is a perfect match, and it has lots of coverage while staying lightweight. Love it.

Satin finish.

I just spent a few hundred dollars on various products for my face whether it be foundation, blush, moisturizer, etc. and I have to tell you I was so shocked that this product surprised the heck out of me because it is so amazing and so easy to use and so inexpensive. Compared to other products I bought I’ve used it twice, so I ordered another one. This product leaves a wonderful look to your skin that I am absolutely amazed, and I love it to the moon and back. If you were here with me and touched my face, you would see how soft my skin feels, and it’s got a little bit of a sheen to it. Bottom line, give this a try you won’t be disappointed. Please remember one thing though it’s important to use a moisturizer on your face first.

My go-to for photoshoots, nights out or bad skin days. The shades are a bit off, but workable. The best buildable coverage that I have found in a mess-free stick.
