MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

In summer, I wear NW15 however in winter I struggle to find foundations that are the exact right tone. NW13 is one of the only foundations I've found that suits my skin tone completely. This foundation is exactly as it is advertised, it is very full coverage and gives a true matte finish. Even with very oil skin, this will easily last a 12+ hour day, and then into the evening. You hardly need concealer with it as the coverage is that fabulous. It can sometimes feel a bit cakey, but only if you haven't blended it out properly. I use a flat-top Kabuki brush and it works great and looks flawless. I have acne scarring and blemishes on my skin and it covers it completely.

Mac foundations have many shades to suit W or C skin types. I use nw20 so can only review that shade of this product. On me its full coverage and gives a nice matte finish, no orange tinge to be seen and blends flawlessly to my skin tone. Lasts hours when using a good skin primer, even on my oily areas.

I'm not an overly huge fan of this foundation. I have dry areas on my skin where the product clings to, or it doesn't blend easily into these areas. I also found around t-zone to be quite cakey when using this with a brush, so I have opted to apply these certain areas with my fingers or a sponge. Gives great coverage, but does not reduce the redness in my cheeks entirely. Would definitely recommend this for people with oily/normal skin. On a positive note, the colour range from MAC is excellent. This foundation is the perfect colour for me, and I've had trouble with other brands finding a suitable colour.

i really enjoyed this product however it does need to be touched up throughout the day with a matte powder etc. if you have oily skin as it does let it seep through after half a day. apart from that it is a fantastic product :)

I've tried this a couple of times and don't really like it. Admittedly I do find it hard to find a foundation that matches the colour of my skin well and doesn't wear off. I found this foundation a bit thick but also wore off in patches throughout the day, even after a MAC artist applied it. It would be a good foundation to have if it was cheaper, however not for the price that it actually is. Friends who use this foundation rave about it so it's probably just my skin colour and type!

I love this because the coverage is full and doesn't break me out like estee lauder dw does! I love the smell, and the finish. It lasts a decent amount of time but i have oily skin so did need to touch up a little

The first high end foundation I have tried and I absolutely LOVE it. I went to the MAC counter in Kirks and was colour matched by one of the loveliest ladies. Needless to say I brought it and have been loving it ever since. It really does what it says it does and is buildable if you want more coverage. I do need to set this with a powder if I am wanting full cover all day. I use the Mineralize skin finish natural and don't need to touch up at all.

my first high end makeup i purchased 4 years ago and to this day cannot bring myself to change from Mac now! I prefer this formula to the other mac foundations. It gives an amazing dewy glow and is perfect coverage for me

This is the best foundation by far!! It has such a full coverage it covers up all of my spots. I first started using this just for night time wear only and then I fell in love and its my all day everyday foundation. using this with the studio fix powder will leave your skin looking flawless.

I love this foundation! It seriously does not budge off your face! Its a great full coverage foundation. The smell of it is a little weird- comparable to the Revlon color stay smell. I don't think i would ever pay full retail price for it however and always get mine from the mac online store in America as its waaaay cheaper. If i know i have a long day ahead of me and need my makeup to last all day or night i reach for this every time.
