not for dry skin :(

I read so many reviews about this product of being an amaizing foundation with flawless finish but I have dry skin and doesnt look amaizing on me. Dries my skin so much and I always end up with cakey face :( Maybe if you mix it with fix plus will help you ??with dry patches?? but doesnt work for me .

Mac

I liked the colour & the thickness of the foundation, & it seemed to last well. However, I found it difficult to blend evenly (I have normal, but slightly aged skin) - tried with and without primer, brush, & beauty blender, but no joy with any of these - just seemed to be patchy no matter what I tried. It also seemed to clog my pores & make them look enlarged.

MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I heard great things about this product and along with hearing that Mac cosmetics has a great range of quality products and decided I would try something new and purchase this product. The makeup artist put the foundation on my face, I wasn't 100% happy with it, it did look cakey on me but not full coverage. I purchased it anyway thinking it will grow on me and i'll find different ways to make it work. But nothing worked, this MAC Studio Fix foundation made me look cakey, didn't cover any of my blemishes. My skin didn't look smooth, it brought out my imperfections even more. I feel that this product is amazing on some people and makes their skin look flawless but with mine it didn't do anything but make it look worse.

Tips: If you have dry skin in some areas and also oily skin I recommend using a bb cream underneath or a primer (primers didn't work for me but for others it has). This foundation tends to cling to imperfections otherwise I think it would be a great foundation.

Ive tried this product a few times again. I wore it to my ball and I just felt embarrassed by how it made my skin look patchy & cakey although I had barley used any of the product. Even using it with other products doesn't help :/ just not for me.

Definitely important to try the product again, or wear it for the day if you're unsure. It's frustrating sometimes when you get so caught up in wanting to buy!

Hrmmm...Fix?!

Am I the only one who can't make this foundation stick...or Fix?! The long wear goodness just wipes off my skin. My pores, lines and wrinkles showed up terribly under certain lights, making me look extra caked up with make up :/ Shame when the colour match was on point!

Bad reaction

I tried this foundation for the first time the other day and had a very bad chemical burn. I have since found out that I am very allergic to Titanium Dioxide. Because this is one of the top ingredients in this foundation ( and all Mac foundations) I will not be using this again.

However in saying that it looked amazing on and it went on easily. It is a shame because I really liked the over all finish and I was able to get a good colour match.

If you have really sensitive skin I would not recommend any Mac foundations.

Not For Natural Girls

This was more heavy coverage in my view. I don't like a lot of foundation but I found this to be more mask like and best suited to a night out or for those needing heaps of coverage. I would recommend it to those who wear a full face of make up.

Tips: Definitely start with a little bit and build from there.

Smelly

The coverage of this foundation is good, but its smells like chemicals and its very cakey, if you don't mind heavy feeling foundations then this shouldn't be too bad but I didn't like it and it look orangey in patches also

overrated

POSITIVES: it is medium to full coverage, makes your face look smooth, has a huge range of shades making it easier for you colour match

NEGATIVES: oxidises within a few hours, made my skin break out really badly, even with primer and powder it starts to slide off within 4-5 hours, has a really strong smell to it.

I've used the foundation with numerous primers, moisturisers. i was told it was good for oily skin but i dont find that it is.

I want to like this, but...

I really like how this looks on. Its a nice formula, applies nicely and they have a good colour range. But, it makes me break out. I do tend to have sensitive and acne prone skin, so if you don't, you'll probably be fine, but because of this, I won't be using it again.

It is also on the more expensive side, and I find that Revlon Colourstay is a really good (and cheaper!) alternative to this (and Estee Lauder Double Wear).

Tips: Don't use this around your eyes, it settles into your fine lines really badly! Use a concealer instead.

Good but expensive!!

It is a good foundation but i found it a little hard to work with and it is soo expensive, can get another brand of half the price.

Tips: Try find it online or somewhere cheaper
