Which is better in your opinion? How's the coverage and longevity? Are these suitable for all skin types? Any info will help me decide which one to get :)

Thanks all :)

I prefer the pro-longwear, its has a satin finish and has a medium to buildable coverage. I think that if you have dry patches both foundations would accentuate that but the studio fix would do so more, I think both foundations probably suit oily/combo/normal skin types best. If your still unsure Mac can supply you with testers of each so you can try before you buy.

Pro long wear definitely! I like finish better and it felt better on my skin.

I have oily/normal skin, and I have dry patches on my cheeks, and studio fix felt too heavy on my skin, and seemed to slip off when/if I got oily. I wear pro long wear now and wouldn't trade it for anything. I've tried other foundations and went back to PLW everytime. It's awesome for combination skin (esp oily)

I love both but there's pros and cons. My shade is usually an NC25 and the studio fix fluid and studio fix match me perfectly but the pro Longwear NC25 looks a bit too light and the NC30 looks too peachy and deeper in color then the other NC30s. As for the finish. Studio fix fluid gives a slight sheen to the skin while the prolongwear is a natural matte finish. The studio fix fluid has better coverage, you can easily go from medium to an almost full coverage. The prolongwear is light to medium. Some people say that prolong wear is medium at first but I think they're using too much at one time and then end up thinking the studio fix fluid is super cakey and heavy when it isn't. I do very thin layers and buff it in and I get good coverage. With the studio fix fluid I get more compliments of my face being smoother and I think it's due to the fact that the SFF has quite a lot of silicone in it and the downside is it can transfer into clothes if you like hug someone. I've been reaching more for the SFF and use the PLW for summer or when I know I'll be out and about and want my makeup to really last.
