I absolutely love Mac makeup the foundation if applied with a good brush gives a flawless look. I first tried Mac in the states and when returning home I had to order this from a store in Auckland and have it posted to me. Not the cheapest foundation but well worth the cost for a great foundation.

Reviews
This foundation is an amazing, full coverage foundation that is super long lasting. It is best matched for oily/combination skin types, and is best applied with a round top kabuki brush, or a beauty blender. It is my absolute go to foundation especially for a night out as I know it doesn't budge! Set it with a powder to make it last longer, or alternatively set with Mac fix+.
I love this product as I use it everyday, sheer coverage but if you apply more you can easily achieve full coverage
Tips: Not suitable over dry patches of skin
I'm 23 years old and I've been wearing foundation from around the age of 13. Over that time I've struggled to find a foundation I loved that actually worked for me. A few years ago I went into a MAC store for the first time and treated myself to this foundation. Holy moly! I love it! It's a beautiful full coverage foundation that actually lasts on my skin without making me look like an oil slick (I have oiky skin). I have a very yellow undertone (I use the shade NC37) and this is the first and only foundation that doesn't go pink or orange on me. It's a beautiful semi matte finish that lasts throughout the day without fading. Sometimes I may get a little oily on my forehead but that's easily fixed with a bit of powder. I find a beauty blender is the best way to apply this is you want an extra flawless face. Definitely a holy grail foundation that I will continue buying until the end of time!
Tips: Start off with a light later and build it up to avoid looking cakey. Benefits Porefessional primer works amazing with this foundation. You will look flawless.
I am a cult follower of all MAC products and I must say the Studio Fix Foundation is one of the best foundations out there. My shade ranges from NC40-NC42 depending on season and I suggest you also get colour matched to find your perfect shade. Now this product is pricey but I assure you it is worth every cent. This foundation provides a medium to full coverage and makes my skin look amazing, it hides and smoothes out every bump and blemish.
I can get away with purchasing only 2-3 bottles a year so for me it is good value for money. The packaging is nice and simple and the pump is easy to use and keep clean.
I highly recommend this product.
Tips: Visit a MAC store or counter to get your perfect shade.
I bought this of Ebay as i wanted mac but didn't want to pay NZ prices
And i am so impressed. It hides my flaws quite nicely and also looks natural doesn't look too caked on either
My shade is NC20 and it was definitely worth the money. And because i don't wear makeup all the time it has lasted me a good 8 months. An is still half full.
Highly recommend
Tried out a sample of this to make sure I didn't waste my money on: a) wrong colour or b) wrong texture. I have to say I absolutely loved this anditreally blended well and gaveme a flawless beautiful glow to my skin. I have oily skin so usually half through the day I end up quite shiny. This did give a bit if shine in my t zone but nothing a little of powder wouldn't fix. I love the coverage and the way it sat on my skin, I used c4.5 which was good as it was yellow or pink based. This is one product I will continue to use and repurchase.
Tips: a little goes a long way as the blends really well into the skin. very buildable so only use a little at a time
Brought this product online in the shade NC15 as I wanted to try it out but I didn't want to pay full price. Glad I didn't waste any money on it. I found it okay to put on but looked extremely average, clung to the dry patches on my face and after going grocery shopping and coming home it had actually sunken into the pores on my face and pretty much all disappeared. My skin is oily/combination so that might be why I it didn't work for me. I paired it with the pro longwear concealer which didn't do much to make it stay. Wouldn't buy it again and don't think it's worth the money as I've used cheaper foundations that work much better.
Tips: If your not looking for a long lasting foundation this might work for you.
For my combination to oily skin, I love it and I could say it is one of the best matt foundation for oily skin. This MAC foundation give a medium to full coverage( it is buildable) using with good primer and finishing spray... it gives the perfect look all day...
Tips: No tips for applying.... clean finger, makeup brush, beauty blender??? Go the way you like but remember go light first as it can be buildable for fuller coverage
I used this studio fox foundation for a year. I found it gave me great coverage but it would easily "sweat" off my skin. My skin would also become a bit oily. I did love the colour I had as it really brightened up my skin. However I moved onto a different MAC foundation that lasts a bit longer and sticks to my face. I'm not sure if this was a "skin type" issue or a makeup issue but this is my review of the product.
Tips: Apply with a Fluffy brush so that it gets applied thinly and blends.
