MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I've tried a few MAC foundations and thought I should give the one every second person seems to have a whirl. Unfortunately this is not quite the one for me. It goes on smooth and the finish is nice and dewy but I find the colour (I'm NC42 for reference) to be a touch too yellow which can make it look like I've painted my face (in a less than flattering way). I also find it you're not careful the coverage can appear a bit too heavy so you definitely need a lighter hand to apply this one. Will be sticking to my MAC studio sculpt in future.

This product is easy to apply and you do not need much of it. But sometimes it feels quite thick on the skin and can get a gluggy-feeling. The bottle lasts a long time as only a little bit covers a lot of skin. It is quite pricey compared to other products.

I love and hate this product. You get a great coverage and it photographs really well which is why it is a must have in my professional makeup kit. However, I find it clogs up my skin and makes me break out if I wear it everyday, which is why I switch it up. It blends perfectly, so is great if you are into cream contouring as it makes you look more natural. It doesn't streak or cake or feel heavy to wear. It also stays put and builds easily.

This foundation is worth the hype. I've experimented with a number of cheaper versions but none provide the same coverage, and colour match as MAC itself. I have very fair skin and wear NW-13, the perfect match for me. I'd never go back to a cheaper brand again. Unlike the cheap versions, this MAC foundation doesn't irritate my skin or clog my pores like they do. Buy it and enjoy it!

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 :)

i have mixed opininions about this product as well as the mac lipstick. i find at times this founndation can leave your skin looking oily! The thing i like about mac foundation is that it covers up my different skin tone well and also isnt too thick to apply onto your face but it still lets it breathe.

I love, love, love this foundation. I have an oily complexion so I'm apprehensive when it comes to wearing liquid foundation. This foundation so far has been the only one that does not make my skin more oily and lasts long. Coverage is great!

I have been using MAC make-up for years, since I was a teen in fact. I have felt a sense of loyalty to them, I guess because I have been using them for so many years and some of there products are all time favorites of mine. I have used Studio Fix Foundation for the last couple of years and like the look the product provides. It gives the skin a dewy look and it's long lasting, which is always a major plus. A rather significant downside for me is that it caused me to have frequent breakouts. I have combination skin, that can be more problematic due to hormonal changes and is pretty sensitive, thus i try not to wear make-up everyday but when I did apply the foundation, I got more breakouts. I assumed that this would be the case for most foundations but after feeling fed up, I tried a a new product from a different brand and have subsequently found out that my new foundation does not cause breakouts. Sadly, I wont use this product again but would possibly recommend it to friends that do not have breakout problems.

Absolutely fell in love with this foundation. It is the first time I have bought a really expensive foundation and it stays on all day opposed to my other cheap(ish) foundatiions that I originally bought. Covers the face so nicely and is perfect for my skin. Definitely recommend this product to anyone. :) x

MAC Studio Fix foundation fluid is a really good foundation. It is quite a thick consistency so it has really good coverage but it is also lightweight so it doesn't feel like you have a huge amount of make up on your face. They have quite a big selection of different shades so it is easy to find one to match your skin colour. I love using this foundation for special occasions and times when I want a really good coverage. Its not the cheapest out there but is definitely worth the price. Definitely recommend!!
