MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I tried this foundation out for a couple of months but found with my dry skin, it wasn't a great foundation for me. I felt like you could see the foundation obviously even when well blended. Gave it to my friend and it looked great on her skin, so if you don't have dry skin, give it a try!

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.

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.

I bought this of Ebay as i wanted mac but didn't want to pay NZ prices

And i am so impressed. It hides my flaws quite nicely and also looks natural doesn't look too caked on either

My shade is NC20 and it was definitely worth the money. And because i don't wear makeup all the time it has lasted me a good 8 months. An is still half full.

Highly recommend

I love love love this! I love the medium coverage, and the matte finish looks really natural! Definitely worth the price

I actually bought this because I was told in store that it was the only MAC foundation in my colour (NW10). No other MAC foundation comes in NW10. It is probably too high coverage for me but unfortunately if I wanted my colour I didn't have much of a choice :(

The consistency is pretty thick which is a bit off putting. I find it helpful to use a damp sponge to sheer it out a bit so it doesn't feel so globby on my skin.

I find that after around 8 hours of wear it does settle in my pores but I imagine most foundations would do this after 8 hours!

It does smell a bit like paint but the smell doesn't linger.

I've never had a problem with breaking out with this foundation. My skin seems to be fine with it.

I wish it came with a pump!!! Heaps of foundation gets stuck on the inside of the cap. Such a waste.

Overall it's a good staple foundation, good for nights out and special occasions but perhaps not every day because it is so heavy.

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

As someone with super pale skin and a neutral undertone finding foundation for myself is hard work. That and the fact I'm a dance teacher and need something that's going to last all day.

Through trial and error I have found my favorite foundation. WN13 is my shade and the best thing about this foundation is it lasts all day even when I'm sweating.

The only touch up I need to do during the day is powder my nose as it get a little shiny. Otherwise it stays perfect.
