This was the first liquid foundation that I bought, it's really great, light/medium coverage with a semi-matt finish, however I prefer a fuller coverage and this can look quite painted on when trying to build up. However this could be down to user error.

I have normal skin, but throughout the day my T-zone does get oily. I love how this foundation has SPF,I think everyone foundation should. Since it does have SPF it doesn't have a very matte finish, but the coverage is amazing, it evens out my skin, and people tell me my skin looks so smooth. It doesn't have a frangrance to me either.
Tips: A tip would be to stipple this onto the face to get very full coverage. And you only need two pumps for that very flawless look
I havent used this product for a while, but only due to money limitations. I strive for a perfectly floorless look and this is the only foundation that has ever given me the exact coverage that I want. You can apply layers easily for extra coverage. For me though, I found the foundation seemed to bring out the oil in my skin, which meant i needed to use powder to lock/soak up the oil.
This foundation is quite pricey and there are plenty of alternative cheaper foundations to this product. However with that being said I was determined to make this work for me. After try it for a week I discover every time I used a dirty brush the foundation would dry up and separate on my face. Once I started to clean my brush before every application it was working but still wasn't as perfect as I wanted. Then I discovered shiseido Ulitmune (a kind of serum) and used it in my everyday skin care routeing. The foundation started to sit perfectly and last all day. It is possible to make it work ! Now Studio fix Fluid would be in my top fie foundations.
Tips: Clean your brush before using each time. You need to use a primer. Any hydrating serum will make it sit really well if you work in air conditioning too especially if you are finding it drys out your skin.
I use this for my going out foundation/special event. Its very full coverage and thick! It leaves an amazing flawless finish and works well with the mac mineralize powder!
It can look very cakey if you put to many layers on.. and the smell of it is quite strong.
It has a fantastic colour range, I am fair and its hard to find a foundation that actually fits my skin tone without leaving a foundation line! I use nw15. I always get compliments on my skin when I'm wearing this.
I wouldn't wear it on an everyday basis as its more on the expensive side and very very full coverage.
Tips: Works well with a beauty blender!
Tried out a sample of this to make sure I didn't waste my money on: a) wrong colour or b) wrong texture. I have to say I absolutely loved this anditreally blended well and gaveme a flawless beautiful glow to my skin. I have oily skin so usually half through the day I end up quite shiny. This did give a bit if shine in my t zone but nothing a little of powder wouldn't fix. I love the coverage and the way it sat on my skin, I used c4.5 which was good as it was yellow or pink based. This is one product I will continue to use and repurchase.
Tips: a little goes a long way as the blends really well into the skin. very buildable so only use a little at a time
I was on the hunt for a new foundation. Decided on this one and felt great about it. I love the coverege. I think it could blend a little nicer as i don't feel it spreads over my face very far etc. I do have to bronze a little more using it as I think I could be one shade lighter to what I got matched to but over all I love the staying power and and look of how my skin looks with this :)
Ahhhh so this was my first MAC purchase and OMG I love it. felt so smooth on my skin. the colour was a perfect match. felt so light and that's a bonus cause I hate make up that feels super heavy and cakey on the skin. will deffo be buying more of this. and not to mention I brought it on the us mac website so was super cheap for only $27 US dollars!! what a steal. Cant wait to buy more mac products
I do really like this foundation it has really good coverage and very buildable. I do find it does feel abit heavy but even using a small amount I found does go along way. It does dry quick but for my skin I don't have to apply it too fast I just buff it out really good and it blends in really well. The smell of this foundation I found isn't very nice at all for a high end foundation. When I apply this foundation I apply a thin layer then reapply to areas that I have a lot of acne scarring. This foundation lasts me all day when applied a pressed powder over the top. Would like to buy again for sure.
I used this because I feel like everyone needs to try a MAC foundation at some point... I wanted to love it but to be honest it wore off during the day and didn't leave much coverage. I loved it at first but by the end of the day not so much! It would be great for girls who have good skin or like light-medium coverage :)
