I was given some samples of this from a friend. I've never used a MAC foundation before. Or high end foundation actually.
I loved it so much I brought it right away! The bottle is heavy. It feels solid and not cheap. It isn't decorated all fancy or anything, just nice and simple. The lid twists off with the help of a kind of rubbery feel on it. Means it doesn't slip when you have moisturizers on your hand.
The hole into the product is a good size for the liquid to come out easy enough. I would tap it on the back of my hand and use a beauty blender to apply onto my face.
It goes on so easily! It's so creamy. So smooth. So lovely! My skin tends to be sensitive and I never reacted to this. The formula of it makes it good for applying with blender or brush. Its great to cover all uneven colours on my face. I could even use a flat head brush to polish it into my skin. My skin looks flawless using this foundation.
The foundation lasts all day even in heat. It doesn't dry out my skin and keeps it looking nice and dewy.
It's easy enough to remove at the end of the day. I use the MAC oil off makeup remover.
I just love it!
Tips: If you know your colour you can order online to save some money
I absolutely love Mac makeup the foundation if applied with a good brush gives a flawless look. I first tried Mac in the states and when returning home I had to order this from a store in Auckland and have it posted to me. Not the cheapest foundation but well worth the cost for a great foundation.
This foundation is an amazing, full coverage foundation that is super long lasting. It is best matched for oily/combination skin types, and is best applied with a round top kabuki brush, or a beauty blender. It is my absolute go to foundation especially for a night out as I know it doesn't budge! Set it with a powder to make it last longer, or alternatively set with Mac fix+.
I'm 23 years old and I've been wearing foundation from around the age of 13. Over that time I've struggled to find a foundation I loved that actually worked for me. A few years ago I went into a MAC store for the first time and treated myself to this foundation. Holy moly! I love it! It's a beautiful full coverage foundation that actually lasts on my skin without making me look like an oil slick (I have oiky skin). I have a very yellow undertone (I use the shade NC37) and this is the first and only foundation that doesn't go pink or orange on me. It's a beautiful semi matte finish that lasts throughout the day without fading. Sometimes I may get a little oily on my forehead but that's easily fixed with a bit of powder. I find a beauty blender is the best way to apply this is you want an extra flawless face. Definitely a holy grail foundation that I will continue buying until the end of time!
Tips: Start off with a light later and build it up to avoid looking cakey. Benefits Porefessional primer works amazing with this foundation. You will look flawless.
I am a cult follower of all MAC products and I must say the Studio Fix Foundation is one of the best foundations out there. My shade ranges from NC40-NC42 depending on season and I suggest you also get colour matched to find your perfect shade. Now this product is pricey but I assure you it is worth every cent. This foundation provides a medium to full coverage and makes my skin look amazing, it hides and smoothes out every bump and blemish.
I can get away with purchasing only 2-3 bottles a year so for me it is good value for money. The packaging is nice and simple and the pump is easy to use and keep clean.
I highly recommend this product.
Tips: Visit a MAC store or counter to get your perfect shade.
This foundation is awesome on my oily skin. I find it's long wearing, oil absorbing and very flattering. This is a full coverage foundation so is great for covering redness and blemishes, giving a near flawless finish. It can sometimes cake but I've found it's all in the application and powder you use over the top which determine whether it will cake or not.
Tips: To avoid caking apply thin layers with a buffing brush and apply a fine loose powder instead of a compact
This was probably one of my first MAC purchases and it works a charm on me. I have combination skin so tend to get quite shiny around the nose area during the day. This foundation was perfect in combating that.
This has a great colour range so perfect for girls like me who have a hard time finding their perfect match. It also has great coverage with just one layer but is definitely buildable if you want something more full coverage. Is very easy to blend and extremely long lasting. I have found I can wear for at least 9 hours and it still looks great, I just need the touch-up (with powder) once or twice throughout the day to deal with oiliness.
Tips: I found it works best with a buffing brush/when buffed into the skin.
Don't use with a matte primer, otherwise you'll end up with little dry patches on your nose that you can't blend out.
I absolutely love Studio Fix Foundation by MAC. I do not wear this on a day to day basis as it is full coverage for me so I like to treat myself to a MAC cake face on special occassions/night outs.
I find it blends beautifully, has a great consistency and isn't drying nor too shiny and dewy and majority of the time I do not use concealer with this unless I am wanting to highlight underneath my eyes etc. I would recommend Studio Fix for anyone transitioning into MAC as it is worth the price, and is not too thick or hard to use compared to the likes of Studio Sculpt by MAC or other foundations.
Tips: If you want a lighter coverage, mix with moisturiser to sheer it out and over a primer for a more flawless coverage and finish.
I was quite shocked trying this product, I'd judged it and thought it was one of those classic expensive products that are really no good, but I was wrong. It has the best finish, doesn't make my skin oily, perfect shade and it isn't that bad on the pocket!
Tips: Get someone at mac to try the product on your skin before buying and make sure you like it :)
