Hitting pan is a term used with make-up. It happens when product starts to run out and you can see the bottom of the container. Applies to shadows, blushes, and powders.

Get the Hitting Panmug. (verb) cosmetics term: to use up an eyeshadow to the point where the bottom of the container (er, the "pan") starts to show.
I hit pan on my MAC Patina eyeshadow, so I'll probably be buying another one on my next haul.
I don't use this shadow that much -- after a year I still haven't hit pan.
