MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

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 found that Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation had a very intense smell and I find it is too cakey and unnatural looking for a day time foundation. Its a very good night time foundation as it does provide a full coverage that does stay on really well.

i use this everyday. it has buildable coverage which is great. it has a nice finish so it doesnt have cakey look. it oxidises but for me the oxidation so well and just settles so well that i look like i dont even wear makeup, it is so flawless. But the thing about studio fix is that it doesnt last all day. i would say thats the only bad thing

I'm not an everyday makeup wearer, a bit of BB cream during the day (if I have time) but MAC studio fix is my go to if I have evening socialising to do, I find It to thick of every day daytime wear but a beautiful flawless finish and coverage for evening wear, I like that it oxidises and makes my skin look like it's naturally flawless

I love this foundation for a flawless finish and a night out! I don't wear it daily however. I love applying this with a primer to be extra flawless and looks great using a brush (real techniques expert face) to blend or a real techniques miracle complexion sponge for a less full coverage look however you still loom flawless!

i love love love MAC's studio fix fluid, it is my go to foundation for a full coverage, it does its job perfectly with a flawless finish, and the fact that it is build able is even better :)

I love my MAC foundation, it leaves my skin flawless and lasts forever without the need to do any touchups! It leaves my skin feeling fresh and like I am wearing nothing at all yet it covers all of my imperfections and freckles :) my favourite of all time!

I love this when my skin isn't cooperating!! I always know that I can reach for this foundation and it will work :) I just can't justify buying it in NZ cos it is so expensive here!

I tried this foundation in NC15 which is normally great for me in MAC foundation however Studio fix was too dark at first and then oxidised even darker. Smell of foundation is a big factor for me and this one smells like paint. If you are going to have photos taken I would not recommend wearing this as it gives a flashback. This does provide great coverage and long wear though. I would consider using it again if the smell was toned down and MAC fixed the shades or perhaps brought out an NC10. I would recommend to a friend if they were able to find a shade that was correct.

Love love love this product!! Cannot recommend it enough! I wear the NC25 shade and just adore it. It has really good coverage and can be built up so easily. I'v never had something match my skin colour so perfectly and go on so well. Certainly looking for a cheaper alternative though but still worth the money.
