MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I have a love hate relationship with this foundation. It suits my skin tone perfectly in winter the NC15 however I do find it quite drying and heavy ish on my face compared to other foundations, although the coverage it gives is amazing!

I love this foundation, have tried other foundations in between but seem to always end up going back to this. It's easily applied and creates a flawless yet natural look, it really is quite amazing. The only issue I have with it is that I find that occasionally after wearing it, particularly out at night, my skin tends to break out the next day more so then with other foundations. If anyone has any tips or reasoning behind this I would love to know!

I've had this foundation for quite a while now, and its average coverage! I love the finish it gives though! I set my face with a maybelline fit me powder in 310, and my shade is NW25

This has to be one of my fav foundations. I only really use it when I go out really rather than every day as the coverage is really good and I don't need it daily. It is quite a thicker liquid than any other foundation I've used and so a little goes a long way. I use it sparingly and build it up if I want more coverage. I have tried this with a flat top kusbi brush and my beauty blender and using either gives great even and flawless results. I do have the one with SPF in it so this does give flash back in photos- but perfect for the harsh NZ sun. Overall its a great foundation and it is worth the money.

Isn't overally cakey which is awesome! Nice and light and liquidy which makes it easy to apply. Looks great and has good coverage. You need to apply concealer over any problem areas as it doesn't really cover them too well.

This is the first mac product i had ever used , and i really liked it. I went into mac and had a lovely girl color match me and apply it for me. It gives excellent coverage and lasts really well , i use a flat top kabuki brush to apply and have even used my fingers also . I love that it doesn't feel too thick or heavy on my skin, i would defiantly recommend this to friends x

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.

This foundation has a really nice texture and finish and has a medium coverage, you can build it up to a full coverage. I like how mac has a huge range of colours. The only thing I don't like is that with all their foundations and concealers; the colours don't always match up. But I really like this foundation.

I got matched by the staff to the wrong shade in this foundation (so annoying!) but never the less, this foundation is great! It's a thick consistency and has a good full coverage but it doesn't look cakey! It looks quite natural for a full coverage foundation and settles into the skin well, it is a matte finish which is very drying as soon as I apply it to my skin so moisturise a lot if you're like me! But I can tell it would be great for oily skin. There's a great amount in the bottle, and you don't use much. There is a great colour selection, even a colour for someone as pale as me! I found this went on well with a angled top brush, flat top brush and a beauty blender! It won't irritate sensitive skin but let the skin breathe well. Annoying that there is no pump, I suggest buying one as you can use it on other products once one runs out! It blends out well and lasts such a good amount of time without budge or transferring, great in the camera and won't give off any shiny patches :)
