First of all, make sure you are using a moisturizer made for your skin type. I feel mac foundations are geared toward oily skin. Studio fix fluid is a great foundation for combination skin. Semi matte finish, long wearing. Pro longwear is another great option but I find that it wears better on oily skin and you have to work quickly with it or
It can look cakey.
I have never had a reaction to any Mac foundation.

I didn't like studio sculpt. Too thick and made me cakey; also oxidized. I'm in love with Smashbox Studio skin foundation. It's got a normal finish, so it would probably work with oil skin. It just lays so nicely in my skin and stays all day. Swing by Seohora and get a sample!!

I agree. Studio sculpt is super heavy. It looks great on film but it's not a great every day foundation.

Personally I don't like prolongwear it kinda feels a bit heavy on me (and tends to break me out a bit) I can say I love studio fix because I feel like it lets my skin breathe (I have oily skin). It has spf in it and doesn't break me out, double win for me!

The pro longwear cream compact is actually really nice though. I like it quite a bit more than the liquid counterpart. You don't have to work as fast, great coverage, doesn't feel as heavy. I hated the liquid for a long time but it photographs beautifully.
