MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

MAC studio fix fluid foundation is my perfect pick for when I want a full coverage look for a big night out. There is a large colour range and due to the fantastic MAC counter teams it is easy to get the right colour match for your skin. The mixture stays smooth and creamy and leaves you with a dewy finish. Unlike many other more heavy foundations, this one doesn't make me break out which is a huge plus! I would highly recommend this foundation to any one who is looking for a full coverage foundation for special events and nights out.

Straight away I had high hopes for this foundation. The brand has such an excellent reputation you can't help it. I expected to pay as much as I did and am happy with the price. 30ml goes a long way - especially if its not the only foundation you use. The coverage is brilliant and the colour is fantastic, I'm an NC20 and have quite red cheeks and the colour really balances them out. It is a very buildable product too, I can use this as lightly as I like or I can get a full coverage look too. It all depends on how you apply it.

I adore this foundation. Ive been using it for months now. It is medium - full coverage but you can share it down or build it up in areas you need it

I loved everything about this foundation until I woke up the next morning with a massive pimple, tried twice and the same thing happened both times, so it's obviously just not a good match for my skin. That aside, the foundation was great, went on well and had great coverage.

This was more heavy coverage in my view. I don't like a lot of foundation but I found this to be more mask like and best suited to a night out or for those needing heaps of coverage. I would recommend it to those who wear a full face of make up.

This is by far the best foundation I have used. I find it has great coverage and is a perfect match to my skin tone giving a flawless look. I also love the fact that it is SPF 15 in case you do get caught out in the sun you do at least have some cover. I use the foundation everyday- even though it isn't the cheapest foundation, you only need a small amount to get great coverage. I would definitely recommend this foundation and will continue to use it myself.

I used this for a couple of years. When I was younger I really liked a full coverage near matte look.. This Is a fantastic product if you like a very heavy coverage, but I feel like the colours just don't match for every skin type which was disappointing when you spend so much on one bottle. Im quite fair but definitely not the lightest shade and this was always very orange on my skin. I found this very drying on my skin, MAC products tend to upset my sensitive skin, make my eyes water and give me drying around the nose/soreness. I have since moved onto other products as although I do still very much like nice coverage to cover general imperfections this is just WAY too heavy and cakey. I have switched to Revlon photo ready in nude 200 and Max Factor CC cream in the lightest shade, I tend to mix them both together for the perfect colour for my skin. This MAC foundation would probably be a bit easier to wear with a few drops of Estee Lauder illuminating serum!

This foundation is perfect for covering skin imperfections - while using it I didn't need to use concealer as it was such full coverage. It can feel quite thick and cakey at times, or this could be because I have such oily skin! Great and simple for undereye darkness and blemishes, though I wouldn't recommend for a lightweight, everyday foundation.

I have been using this foundation for years, I've tried to steer away and try several cheaper options but i am sad to say nothing compares. Sometimes you really do have to accept that you just sometimes have to pay more. Ok, so lets start with the packaging, it is a generously sized product. Mac packages their foundations beautifully, the great thing about this particular foundation is it's coverage ability. Less product is definitely more, so heres to it lasting at least four months minimum. The major down side is it's lack of pump. I actually purchased a pump for $14.00 from trade me, which i thought was a complete rip off. However the pump makes the product last way longer. So if your serious about MAC get serious about purchasing a pump. It allows you to control the product amount a lot easier. I remember the first time I purchased this and basically tipped the bottle upside down...and yep covered the whole back of my hand...WASTED! it's like gold if you spill this product. The great thing about MAC Is they have some many variations of shades and have this whole 'NW' and 'NC' thing going on. Basically any shades with NW are described as 'warmer' shades due to a pinky undertone being present in the he foundation. 'NC' is a slightly yellow tone, which is awesome for cancelling out redness and sallow looking skin, It blends great too. I have ghostly pale skin, I am English and have the typical pasty look going on so I currently use NC15. Too be honest I think if it was a teensy bit lighter it would be full on perfection, but you cant have it all ways so that's why less is more and a blending sponge is needed. Ok so good points: great coverage last all day has a beautiful matte finish hides blemished & redness very well Safe to use around the eye area (no stingies!) Cons: Pump not included, You have to work FAST with this as it drys quickly. Can look cakey if you get too carried away. I am loyal to MAC for foundation this is by far the best of their foundations, I find it to be less drying and provides excellent coverage. I would recommend for those that still cant find that perfect foundation.

This is the foundation I use on a regular basis. It has great coverage but doesn't feel too heavy. It stays on well which I love and really evens out my skintone to hide the few scars and bumps. I'm a stickler for an even, well-cover but natural base and MAC Studio Fix is always my go-to. Love it!
