How do you feel when you get something to try out but you don't know how to use it or its purpose? You feel blank as well as curious. You don't know what you are going to do with it and curious to learn about it. The same happened to me when I got Blue Heaven Xpression Pan Cake in my recent haul. I didn't know what a pan cake is and how you use it since I'm not so good at doing makeup. But I wanted to learn how to use it. Pancake is basically more or less like a foundation only but it gives a heavier coverage than the foundation. Pan cake is used in stage shows because they hide flaws and imperfections much better than a foundation. Now that I know this much about a pan cake, let's make a detailed analysis of Blue Heaven Xpression Pan Cake.
About Blue Heaven Xpression Pan Cake:
The very first step in selecting your perfect make-up foundation is to know your skin type. Select the shade as per your skin tone so as to get a suitable foundation for your skin. You can take help from your beautician regarding the selection.
Blue Heaven Pan-Cake is a light scattering make up cake, specially made for face and body. Apply the makeup cake evenly on the skin with a cosmetic sponge (provided in the pack) for more control & a smoother application. Apply in long sweeping motions. Leave it for a while to dry up. Wipe away excess make up with a soft linen cloth.

My Experience With Blue Heaven Xpression Pan Cake:
Blue Heaven Xpression Pan Cake comes in a dark purple round plastic case. It has a round lid inside which there is an extra transparent protective lid which holds a square make up sponge. All of this is packed in a shiny dark purple outer carton. The packaging is simple but does not look bad at all.
I got the shade 62 which is mentioned on the packaging. This shade matches my skin tone very well. The texture of this pan cake is little dry. So I would say that it's not a good option for dry skin people as it's going to accentuate dryness more. The dry and powdery texture makes the pan cake settle into a matte finish. It has a very strong fragrance almost like some perfume. It provides a good coverage. You can layer it according to the degree of your imperfections. The trick lies in the way you apply it as blending and controlling the amount of water in your sponge is the key. It hides light imperfections and flaws very nicely but may not work so good on stubborn acne marks.
I thought pan cakes were just meant for stages but this one is everyday wear product. It looks very natural and won't make you feel like you are wearing anything on your face. Coming to the waterproof part, yes it is waterproof. It stays on for almost 4-5 hours on my face without getting cakey and patchy. Overall it's a very good product for the price it comes for.

3.5/5
Final Note:
Blue Heaven Xpression Pan Cake 62 is quite an affordable product with lots of benefits. It works as a good base especially for oily skin people and hot and humid climates because it gives a nice matte finish and keeps skin oil free for a good amount of time. But it may not suit dry skin people. All in all, this is a good budget make up item.
