MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

I use MAC foundations for special occasions, mainly because they are such high quality and really are worth the money. The Studio Fix Foundation is a thick consistency and has excellent coverage, I used this foundation a lot in my 20s when I had an oily t-zone and it was great! However now I am in my mid 30s I find this foundation too thick and coverage too heavy even if I apply it thinly. I prefer the mineralise skinfinish foundation but I still recommend this foundation for the girls out there that like a full coverage foundation and don't have too many wrinkles! :)

This foundation is my Holy Grail Foundation and im on my 3rd bottle. Staying power is great on Normal, Oily & Combination Skin. The consistency is quite thick but can be buffed out easy enough for light coverage and buildable for those requiring full coverage therefore can be used for daily wear and special events. I find that I dont get flash back on flash photography when wearing this product. Love this product <3

Straight away I had high hopes for this foundation. The brand has such an excellent reputation you can't help it. I expected to pay as much as I did and am happy with the price. 30ml goes a long way - especially if its not the only foundation you use. The coverage is brilliant and the colour is fantastic, I'm an NC20 and have quite red cheeks and the colour really balances them out. It is a very buildable product too, I can use this as lightly as I like or I can get a full coverage look too. It all depends on how you apply it.

I heard great things about this foundation so jumped at the chance when I could get it. Unfortunately, my face and this product don't make good friends. I found it to be very, very thick in texture and went on something similar to acrylic paint. It made my skin break out and looked super cakey - but this is only my experience, I'm sure there are others who will tell you their happy experiences. But this product just isn't for me which is a real shame.
