MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I have heard many things about this foundation and expected it to be this miracle foundation.

I didn't like it at all. Why?

Firstly the smell is unbearable. I would hate to put it on because of the smell. If given the chance try to smell it. You will know what I mean. Secondly it oxides like crazy. I tried NC 45. It made me look liken an orange umpa lumba. No joke!! I tried NC 44 and it still oxidises on my skin. I don't want to buy a foundation 5 shades lighter and look ashy only to wait for it to match me hours later!!

Lastly it transfers!! It comes off on my finger even after it set it with powder!

I mean its got good coverage. But if I'm goin to spend $60 bucks on a foundation i want it to be more than just good coverage, wouldn't you agree.

It works for others. But didn't work for me. Love the Studio fix powered but not the foundation.

This was the first liquid foundation that I bought, it's really great, light/medium coverage with a semi-matt finish, however I prefer a fuller coverage and this can look quite painted on when trying to build up. However this could be down to user error.

I was quite shocked trying this product, I'd judged it and thought it was one of those classic expensive products that are really no good, but I was wrong. It has the best finish, doesn't make my skin oily, perfect shade and it isn't that bad on the pocket!

I abdolutely love this foundation especially now Mac have released an nw10 (super pale!) shade in NZ. This foundation is heavy coverage and super long lasting, it has a semi matte finish. Some people have complained about the smell but personally I don't think it has a very strong fragrance. Would recommend this to any body looking for a full coverage foundation as it is very good value for the quality.

My only complaint is that some shades do oxidise (NW15 for example) but have had no issues with my latest bottle (NW10)

I used this because I feel like everyone needs to try a MAC foundation at some point... I wanted to love it but to be honest it wore off during the day and didn't leave much coverage. I loved it at first but by the end of the day not so much! It would be great for girls who have good skin or like light-medium coverage :)

This is my holy grail foundation. My skin's combination to oily type, at the end of a day I'll always have "Disco ball" face. Not with this foundation though! Worn it to my gradtion the whole day in Summer, didn't have to suck oil on my face off with a tissue at all. It goes on smoothly with a brush, however I don't find it very blendable, but the finishing is awesomely matte. I recommend this foundation to all the oily friends of mine!

This is one of the most raved about Mac products. As I headed into the store, I went in wanting to be as in love with this product as everyone else. A Mac lady kindly did a sample on my face and with all the lights she said it matched perfectly, to me it seemed to look quite orange but I decided that she was a professional and must be right. I bought the shade NC35 and got home and tried it the next day and alas it was orange on my skin. I knew then and there I should have trusted my own instinct and not purchased it. As I'd already spent $60 on it, I thought I would still keep it and use a lighter powder to lessen the orange look. Unfortunately the next day I started to break out from the product so it was a waste of $60. Next time I'll get a tester, as it was an expensive mistake to make.

I have just recently purchased this product and I am in love.

After being very wrongly matched in Australia I managed to exchange and be properly matched back in New Zealand. From NW20 to Nw10

As I am quite pale I always find it hard to get a foundation that is the same as my natural skin colour. NW10 is my perfect shade and I am absolutely loving every minute of it. The application is easy and a little bit goes along way. It blends in very well with my skin and stays looking good for hours!

I find the coverage to be a great medium coverage and doesn't feel like I have a lot of product on my face which I love.

Its also amazing as contains some SPF

I love this foundation, I always go back to it after trying new brands. I have two colours so I can adjust for summer and winter. It spreads easily and gives a good coverage
