MAC studio fix is a medium coverage build able foundation - this means it can be used to create more of a full coverage as well. It is very long lasting - especially with powder to set - and seemed to even be good out in the elements and even seemed to be water resistant in my experience. The product is liquid but once applied has quite a matte finish. At $60 RRP the price is higher than some, but the pay off is in the quality of the product. The bottle is glass so not ideal to keep in a handbag and the screw on lid makes applying a little difficult but you can purchase a pump from MAC which you can screw on. I have sensitive skin and it was fine for me. I would recommend MAC studio fix to anyone who likes the option of a bit more coverage.

Tips: Set with powder to reduce shine and keep it in place for the day. Purchase the pump for easy application!
I didn't find that this product was for me. I didn't like the coverage it gave me, it wasn't as natural as I expected. I would use this for a ball or if I was going out. I used it with a stippling brush, I will try with a beauty blender to see if I have a different result. I found I quite costly so I was expecting it to be flawless
I do love this foundation!! It gives me excellent coverage! Covers all my blemishes without a doubt. One thing with this foundation is...you have to MOISTURISE!! And you may need to fiddle around with moisturisers to see which one goes well with this foundation and you skin. I use the good old Astral cream! Apply astral cream and then wait for at least 5 minutes. I use a foundation brush...a beauty blender I found didn't give me the coverage I waned. I use the coco beau big fat foundation brush. I have had people complimenting my skin so much. I would Defo buy again. Only use it for special occasions as it breaks me out if I use it everyday.
Tips: I also mix a little illuminizer with this foundation as it leaves a semi matte finish.
there is something about mac make-up. the people behind this brand are GENIUS! the foundation covers all imperfections and is long lasting. i love love love this product. and for anyone looking for a long wearing foundation that keeps your skin looking clear and perfect all day needs to invest in this!
This foundation is fantastic if you enjoy a fuller coverage or have a few problem areas. I like it because the lasting power on it is great, I can wear it for a full day of work without melting off ib the heat or letting through any oil. I have dry skin and find that a moisturizing primer definitely helps prevent this from clinging to dry patches ob my face. The colour I use is NC15 and it's a pretty good match. If you apply thin layers at a time it won't appear cakey.
Tips: Get colour matched if you can.
One of my favourite foundations, looks natural but covers imperfections up really well! Spreads and blends super easy. This foundation was one of my first foundations, I didn't really know much about using foundation but I found it so easy to use. It is very similar to revlons 24 hour colour stay foundation, so that would be a good dupe if you were wanting something a little bit cheaper.
Tips: I use this with a stippling brush, I find it has the most flawless finish that way :)
This foundation is quite pricey and there are plenty of alternative cheaper foundations to this product. However with that being said I was determined to make this work for me. After try it for a week I discover every time I used a dirty brush the foundation would dry up and separate on my face. Once I started to clean my brush before every application it was working but still wasn't as perfect as I wanted. Then I discovered shiseido Ulitmune (a kind of serum) and used it in my everyday skin care routeing. The foundation started to sit perfectly and last all day. It is possible to make it work ! Now Studio fix Fluid would be in my top fie foundations.
Tips: Clean your brush before using each time. You need to use a primer. Any hydrating serum will make it sit really well if you work in air conditioning too especially if you are finding it drys out your skin.
I havent used this product for a while, but only due to money limitations. I strive for a perfectly floorless look and this is the only foundation that has ever given me the exact coverage that I want. You can apply layers easily for extra coverage. For me though, I found the foundation seemed to bring out the oil in my skin, which meant i needed to use powder to lock/soak up the oil.
I have normal skin, but throughout the day my T-zone does get oily. I love how this foundation has SPF,I think everyone foundation should. Since it does have SPF it doesn't have a very matte finish, but the coverage is amazing, it evens out my skin, and people tell me my skin looks so smooth. It doesn't have a frangrance to me either.
Tips: A tip would be to stipple this onto the face to get very full coverage. And you only need two pumps for that very flawless look
I was given some samples of this from a friend. I've never used a MAC foundation before. Or high end foundation actually.
I loved it so much I brought it right away! The bottle is heavy. It feels solid and not cheap. It isn't decorated all fancy or anything, just nice and simple. The lid twists off with the help of a kind of rubbery feel on it. Means it doesn't slip when you have moisturizers on your hand.
The hole into the product is a good size for the liquid to come out easy enough. I would tap it on the back of my hand and use a beauty blender to apply onto my face.
It goes on so easily! It's so creamy. So smooth. So lovely! My skin tends to be sensitive and I never reacted to this. The formula of it makes it good for applying with blender or brush. Its great to cover all uneven colours on my face. I could even use a flat head brush to polish it into my skin. My skin looks flawless using this foundation.
The foundation lasts all day even in heat. It doesn't dry out my skin and keeps it looking nice and dewy.
It's easy enough to remove at the end of the day. I use the MAC oil off makeup remover.
I just love it!
