Fantastic Foundation!

After hearing A LOT of great reviews on the MAC Studio Fix Foundation I finally went out and purchased one - and I'm in love! This is a fantastic product which I will use again and again.

The packaging is typical of MAC - simple, classic and functional. The bottle is glass, and although it doesn't come with a pump you can purchase those separately to pop on top.

The formula itself is gorgeous - not too heavy or too thin. Very easy to build up, but even one layer of this product provides really great coverage! It matched my super pale skin perfectly (NC15), lasted well throughout the day, and gave the slightly dewy finish which I love. Would definitely recommend this fabulous foundation! :)

Amazing!

The best foundation I have ever used, well worth the price and perfect for a night out. Has great cover and a wonderful finish. A bit heavy for everyday use but I don't wear a lot of make up. A+++

Tips: Don't need to use a lot as a little goes a long way!

My Everyday foundation

I am a NW15 in this MAC foundation which I was matched to at the MAC Counter. This is one of my favourite foundations because it stays put for most of the day. I do set this with a translucent powder because I do have oily skin and I find this makes it last all day. This foundation comes in a glass bottle with a black lid. You can buy the pump from MAC which I find makes the product easier to get out. It has a thick consistency and a strong smell which goes when the make up dries. It is a pretty natural foundation which is good for everyday use I find that it doesn't cause me to get more pimples as long as I take it off at the end of the day.

Tips: If you have oily skin set with a powder.

My foundation of the moment!

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.

Tips: Definitely get matched at a MAC counter as the shade matching can be confusing. Also use less foundation to start with and build up the coverage so it does not look cakey.

A good foundation

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!!

Tips: Make sure you get the right shade for your skin tone, and using a flat top foundation brush is best for this product! And remember to blend!

Oil control hero

This is my holy grail foundation. My skin's combination to oily type, at the end of a day I'll always have "Disco ball" face. Not with this foundation though! Worn it to my gradtion the whole day in Summer, didn't have to suck oil on my face off with a tissue at all. It goes on smoothly with a brush, however I don't find it very blendable, but the finishing is awesomely matte. I recommend this foundation to all the oily friends of mine!

Tips: I found it goes on smoother with a brush, stippling brush to be exact, than with fingers.

Mac studio fix fluid

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 :)

Flawless <3

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.
