MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

This foundation has never really hit the mark for me. The shades are never consistent and it looks way too full coverage on my dry/normal skin tone. I have just stopped repurchasing it and moved on to other mac foundations. This foundation is definitely not for everyone

I am a first time user of this brand of cosmetics, I have used the strobe cream but first foundation use. I purchased this at the beauty expo in Auckland 2015. I bought it because it was cheaper than getting online and i could get colour matched. I was matched with NW18 which i still think may be slightly too dark. To be honest I dont wear this everyday as my $25 kmart foundation does just the same job as this one. Everyone raved about it, but im just like meh it still wears off on my chin and nose after a whole days wearing. it is quite buildable and you can away with not wearing concealer, but use too much and you have cake face going on. I would perhaps like to try some other MAC foundations.

MAC products have such high expectations among makeup artists, so when I made this purchase along with many other products; I was surprised with the outcome.

It took me a long time to find a technique to apply the foundation without it looking cakey. Once I did find one it applied beautifully. I did find that I couldn't build it up (as described it can), as this would cause it to cakey. When I wear it I team it with one their concealers, and I love the combination.

The only other problem I had was that I would get a rash on my neck, as would a lot of my friends that have tried it.

Colour match is good however left my skin too oily after a few hours even with primer and powder to set. I use the Mac waterweight foundation and its perfect. Leaves my skin looking fresh and flawless and would give that one a 5/5 easily.

This was the first MAC product I have tried but unfortunately it didn't work for my skin. I have oily skin, enlarged pores and fine lines, all of which were heightened by this foundation. It did noting to hide my pores, sunk in to my fine lines making them appear larger and my skin was looking shiny within 30 minutes. I also found it very hard to blend and tried with various tools but was always left looking rather orange. I think this product would work well for younger skin tones but wasn't for me. The Studio Fix powder foundation however is great!

It is a good foundation but i found it a little hard to work with and it is soo expensive, can get another brand of half the price.

This foundation is good if you have more oily or normal skin, but for me (dry skin) it wasn't so good. It gave me a nice coverage after I built it up but it broke me out the next day :S I have found cheaper and better foundations out there :)

I did like this at first but then I found it was quiet cakey.

The texture isn't too thick or too runny. It was easy to work with but it just didn't suit my skin type.

It was hard to blend around the brows and looked quiet patchy through out the day. I didn't use a setting powder though, so maybe that was my problem. I have used a few MAC foundations in the past and didn't really get the hype. Definatley gives good coverage though, so no complaints there. I would still recommend it to people as the I found the coverage was great and just because it didn't work for me, it still may work for them. I would probably recommend trying it out with a suited primer and setting powder though.

This is a nice foundation but wasn't for me. I have quite dry skin and found that this made it dryer. It didn't quite move across my face well when I was blending it in. Like I say nice foundation but probably wouldn't recommend this for people with dry skin like myself
