MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
Most amazing thing that has ever touched my skin.
This powder saved my life..seriously. I was never happy with my makeup then one day I decided to go into the MAC store and try this out, and not only did I fall in love with this, but MAC products in general. I feel like this actually IMPROVED my skin. It has excellent coverage, theres barely any need for retouches during the day, even in the summer I would wear this all day and it would stay amazing. My skin is prone to breakouts and this hasn't made me breakout.
Great coverage
This has always been my number one powder foundation! It has a great coverage and mattifying effect! For extra protection I do apply my translucent powder, but that has always been one of my daily regimes. MAC foundations are always true to color which I love! The best thing about it is it's full coverage! I have tons of acne marks which I need to hide away so this does it job very well!
Suprising
For my face i wouldn't use this but i had a client come to me and she wanted me to apply this on her. I'd never use it before but i was so amazed how a powder would give so much coverage. Would deffinately recommend this to girls how have like a normal skin complexion x
I have a love hate relationship with this product. I absolutely love the way it makes my face look. Im not a fan of liquid foundations at all, and this is probably the only foundation that i found that REALLY covers everything. i like my face to be a little darker so i use nc35. nc30 is a lil too pale for my liking. so yea i used this for forever, but it did start to make me break out. its alittle too heavy. but i guess thats the point fot the flawless coverage eh?
Flawless Coverage
Although I'm not a huge fan of MAC liquid foundations because they tend to break me out, probably because it does contain some fragrance components, I really LOVE this powder to set everything in. I use my Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, Make Up Forever liquid foundation and concealer (which probably creates a bit of a barrier between my pores and the powder which helps me not break out) and use the Studio Fix Powder to set it all in. It has a great matte finish and doesn't look cakey at all, especially if you use MAC Fix+, it helps make everything fresh and a bit dewy. Apply a coat all over with a sponge to press in foundation and stuff and then go over with a brush to give it a more flawless finish, then spritz the Fix+ and whaallaaa.... a beautifully covered face :)
My perfect powder :)
I absolutely love this! I use it quite sparingly (due to the price) over a liquid foundation. Whether I use another foundation with it or not I always get the perfect coverage, and has never gotten cakey. I also have VERY acne prone skin but this product has never caused me to break out :)
Great product but it can cause you acne
I love MAC products and as much as I want to love this foundation because it has a flawless finish, good staying power and nice coverage, but it totally broke me out.
The best foundation I have ever used in my life. I won't trade it for anything. It covers completely without applying 2 and 3 times. Smooth and light as a feather. Some foundation I have tried out made me feel as if the pores on my face were clogged up and no air could get threw but MAC's foundation is so natural.
NW 50..... at first I hesitated on purchasing this product (because I thought it wasnt dark enough for my face) .... but after using it ... it does have great coverage .. doesnt make my face have that "ghostly" look. <3
good coverage, good base, but if you use a bit too much it does start getting chalky and pastey, nothing a bit of elf mist and set cant fix..
provides meduim coverage but if over a liquid foundation full :)
