Which mac fluid foundation is the best for full coverage (for acne scars) but also not too cakey?? and something I can wear all day even a school day. I was thinking between the STUDIO FIX SPF 15, MATCHMASTER SPF 15, or the PRO LONGWEAR.

Studio Fix Fluid has the most coverage of the three, I'd say. It's medium buildable

Although, I wouldn't cake it on for coverage on more darker acne scars
I'd pair it with the Studio Finish Concealer if you have the hyperpigmentation since that concealer covers quite well.

It'll last all day and holds up well on oily skin plus I quite like the color range although if you're very fair I've heard the fairly recently added, W15 shade isn't light enough for some people.
Other than that it's a very good foundation that I still use since I first started wearing makeup back in '06 (even when I was VERY oily at that time it still held up really well)

I don't have a MAC recommendation- the only foundations I like from them are F&B and WaterWeight (neither are full coverage). A good long wear full coverage foundation is EL Double Wear or Lancôme Teint Idole. Also, a good primer and setting spray will extend the life of your foundation. UD All Nighter and a primer that is appropriate for your skin type. Benefit Porefessional is nice for filling in texture issues.
