This foundation looks great when first applied (despite acne scars and discolouration showing through), but I have oily skin and after a few hours it starts to slide off, transfer, and my pores and fine lines are very visible (I am only 19!). It also rubbed off on textured areas, making me have lots of little bare dots on the face. This is also with blotting and reapplying powder. I recommend it for a few hours wear but any longer and you'll be a mess :-s

Tips: Do not wear all day if you have oily skin, and make sure to powder! Also if you have discolouration/acne scars you will need to be generous with concealer.
I love this foundation and is another must have in my makeup bag for nights out when a more heavy duty foundation is required. The coverage is great and a little goes a long way. I have found that this product works for me as I am lucky and have s normal skin type however when lending to friends with more of an oily skin type it doesn't sit as well for long periods of time. The coverage is great the product is great however make sure it is correct and suitable for your skin type
Smooth matte finish, buildable coverage gives about medium coverage to start. Applies, builds and blends easily and evenly, long-wearing, aids in minimising the appearance of my freckles, giving a more flawless look and finish. I team it with the studio fix powder for flawless heavier coverage.
Tips: Purchase the Mac pump for $15 so you don't over use the product.
I have been using the same studio fix for 8 years + and I love the how using a small amount of the foundation can go a long way! If you do need it to last throughout the entire day use a basic primer and it hides away everything.
Tips: Suggest buying the pump, I didn't buy it till a bit later on and always ended up wasting a lot of it but a small pump should cover more than many layers of other foundation.
I was abit hesitant to try this but it's a staple in my make up bag now! Great matte complete coverage :) a lot really goes along way! I use this for nights out l.
I was given, yes given this the other day, wasn't their colour, is mine, who's winning!.. MAC is.
I'm telling you now, this stuff stays on all day. I'm used to using Avon and moisture mist which I thought was my go to but the studio fix foundation has won over and over again.
It blends nicely, covers up my dark circles, doesn't look Cakey but I do have one con about this.. it's shiny, it looks shiny on your skin so a matte translucent powder is needed if you don't want to be shiny all day.
It's my new fave!
Tips: Of you don't want a shiny face all day then use a matte translucent powder.
My skin type is combination and this just doesn't work for me. The colour is nice and coverage is full however I find it cakey on my nose and goes oily on my forehead. For what you pay for it I expected much better. I prefer face and body even though the coverage is sheer as its buildable without being at all cakey looking. The only pro to this foundation is you don't need concealer.
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
Tips: Use a stippling brush if you dont want a heavy coverage
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.
Tips: Not any better than my go to kmart bought foundation. So be weary paying big $$when there are better cheaper alternatives out there.
Am I the only one who can't make this foundation stick...or Fix?! The long wear goodness just wipes off my skin. My pores, lines and wrinkles showed up terribly under certain lights, making me look extra caked up with make up :/ Shame when the colour match was on point!
