Hi girls! I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas!
Tomorrow I'm going to try out a new foundation, but I'm not sure about which one yet. I'm currently using urban decay's naked skin foundation (liquid) & powder. I love how it looks and feels, but I need a bit more coverage.
My skin is uneven, and my biggest problem is big, red spots over my jaw line.
Right now I'm standing between the Mac Studio Fix, and the Giorgio Armani luminous silk.

What I'm looking for: a good, long wear foundation that looks natural, but yet with a good coverage, adds a nice glow and can be used for +-12 hours.
Please tell me about your experience with either of these foundations, or tell me about your favorite foundation. Thanks!!

I've used the Studio Fix Fluid and love it, it's got a high medium coverage. I don't really need to use concealer with it and I don't use much.
I love that theirs a color that's yellow enough for me.
I'm oily and it lasts about 10 hours on me. If you're normal or even dry it'll last longer.
One thing, it can transfer a bit which is a downside.
I think this foundation paired with the Palladio Rice Powder is amazing!
I'd always get compliments and questions on how my skin is so smooth and "perfect" and it's because of those two, and I'm someone who has fairly large pores and I didn't use a primer with it either.

With the studio fix... I wouldn't say it looks very natural though, it makes your face look too nice looking to be "natural" IMO.
To me, it gives more of that sort of dolly/perfect skin look which can come off as heavy.
When I put it on its a semi matte so it's like a natural matte, not flat but not overly dewy
