MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I have only just started using this and I love it. It gives me full coverage and lasts all day. I use NW20 and it perfectly matches my skin tone and makes me look flawless. They blend easily whether you use your fingers or a brush. A little goes a long way. This is my holy grail of foundation!

I brought this foundation as MAC has a shade which matches my skin tone, which is quite hard to do. I liked the idea of it being matte and having build-able coverage. All this on top of the fact that it is a well known foundation made me buy it straight away.

I find the formula reasonably runny, but not enough for it to be a problem. I apply my foundation with a flat top kabuki and stipple or buff it in. I find I do one layer, then build on any places I feel I need more coverage. I always use a primer with this, as well as concealer and powder to set it (I do this with every foundation I use). It does have a good matte finish, but it can oxidise on my skin, which is not a problem as I find I always match my foundation still.

It covers any imperfections and I find that it does make my skin look more flawless. But I do have problematic pores which can sometimes show. This foundation lasts on my oily skin for about 5-6 hours before I need to powder (which is quite an accomplishment for a foundation on my skin). I find that with blotting about 2 times a day and powdering, this foundation can last for over 12 hours!

I definitely will be repurchasing this foundation again as I have fallen in love with it.

Although being colour matched a shade or two darker, this foundation just didn't make the cut :/ takes a while to fully set and also feels like it never blends in properly, kind of just sits on your skin. I felt that it was extremely noticeable that I was wearing foundation :/

This foundation is quite thick and heavy feeling on the face and the shades are just annoying! I feel NW shades are to pinky and NC shades are to yellow, so I would have to mix to get a tone right for me. It needed to be worn as a full coverage and with a primer applied otherwise it would go patchy! I also found it also broke me out….BIG negative.

The positives are that it can be built up to be a very full coverage, and there are many shades.

I love this foundation. It is the one I use the most. You only need to apply the smallest amount as it goes far. It is easy to apply, spreads easily (not thick ) and gives good coverage which lasts the day. It doesn't look like you are wearing lots of foundation, it has a natural look. One bottle lasts a long time and well worth the money.

I have played and experimented with so many foundations, like most of you. When i purchased this foundation when i got it with my ball makeup from Mac (last year) i haven't turned back!

Seriously i'm so happy with this product! The foundation matches me amazing, that was my first shock when looking into the mirror. Second it wasn't cakey on me or anything, it didn't feel cloggy either. It covered everything the way a foundation should! It goes on well and i don't need heaps. A bottle of this can last me around 6-8 months.

I'm extremely happy with this product and i would seriously recommend slurging out on this.

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!!

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

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.

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.
