On the fence

I was matched in store to nw22 and since my bf bought one back for me from america it seems too orange so i dont know if it oxidises on me or what. The smell kinda puts me off too. The coverage is full and does leave a flawless finish. Maybe if i got a lighter shade I'd be happier about this product

Perfect - at times.

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.

Tips: Apply thinly with either a Beauty Blender or a stippling brush.

Overrated

This used to be my go to foundation, I'm not really sure what happened but it just doesn't do what it used to. I find it oxidises really easily and wear off unevenly even with primer and powder as a base. A bit disappointed really considering the price. My third and final bottle I'll be buying.

Hiya - I have found that studiofix oxidises when combined with oily/greasy moisturisers! if you changed moisturisers recently that might be what is causing the product to separate and oxidise on your face :)

Slightly Disappointed

I found that Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation had a very intense smell and I find it is too cakey and unnatural looking for a day time foundation. Its a very good night time foundation as it does provide a full coverage that does stay on really well.

Tips: I found applying with a sponge much easier and gave a more even finish than a brush, the formula was too thick to blend with a brush.

MAC Studio Fix Foundation Review

When I first started to buy MAC products, this was one of the first recommended to me to buy. I have mixed feelings on this foundation. Given I have normal to oily and sometimes normal to dry skin I'm not sure this was the best match for my skin type. The coverage I find to be medium to build-able which is what I look for in foundation, I did find however it wore off quite a bit throughout my t-zone during the day which is my oiliest area. I also found sometimes my skin going dry in my t-zone area from this foundation which I found difficult to understand. For me and my skin type it is okay but It was a holy grail foundation for me

Tips: Check with a MAC counter about your skin type and which foundation would best suit your skin type. Also if you are getting colour matched at MAC, ask to step into normal lighting to see if the colour is right, as I walked out buying a foundation 2 shades too dark which didn't seem that way under artificial lighting!

Mac foundation

i have mixed opininions about this product as well as the mac lipstick. i find at times this founndation can leave your skin looking oily! The thing i like about mac foundation is that it covers up my different skin tone well and also isnt too thick to apply onto your face but it still lets it breathe.

Tips: Applying a pressed powder after the foundation stops the shinnyness and leaves it looking nice!

Not quite 'the one' for me

I've tried a few MAC foundations and thought I should give the one every second person seems to have a whirl. Unfortunately this is not quite the one for me. It goes on smooth and the finish is nice and dewy but I find the colour (I'm NC42 for reference) to be a touch too yellow which can make it look like I've painted my face (in a less than flattering way). I also find it you're not careful the coverage can appear a bit too heavy so you definitely need a lighter hand to apply this one. Will be sticking to my MAC studio sculpt in future.

Tips: Can be difficult to get out of the bottle - I like to cover the opening with my finger and tip the whole thing upside down so I only get a controlled amount out at a time.

MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid

Don't think it was the right foundation for me. Definitely feels too thick and heavy. It doesn't really blend well compared to other liquid foundation I've used before. Also its heaviness makes it really obvious that you have makeup on, whereas I prefer a more natural look. Also my skin can be slightly dry or slightly oily depending on the season. When my skin is dry, the foundation made it look even more dry!! And when my skin is slightly oily, putting on the foundation makes me more prone to a breakout. I find it really difficult to get the product out of the bottle. I either end up with not enough or far too much. Also don't really like the smell either.

Always looked great wearing this foundation

I used this studio fox foundation for a year. I found it gave me great coverage but it would easily "sweat" off my skin. My skin would also become a bit oily. I did love the colour I had as it really brightened up my skin. However I moved onto a different MAC foundation that lasts a bit longer and sticks to my face. I'm not sure if this was a "skin type" issue or a makeup issue but this is my review of the product.

Tips: Apply with a Fluffy brush so that it gets applied thinly and blends.

Steer clear if you suffer from breakouts!

I've used this product on numerous occasions and I can say that it gives great coverage and is long lasting. I was also surprised that the makeup didn't oxidise on my face, and remained the same colour throughout the day. It's quite hard to find foundation which suits my medium brown skin tone, but with this product I had the perfect colour!!. But, I suffer from breakouts and this foundation agitated my skin. On the occasions I used it I happened to breakout quite badly the day after. The formula clogged my pores and ruined my skin. This is very disappointing considering the great coverage it gives. However I won't be reaching for it anytime soon because I don't want to go through another mass breakout.

Tips: First test it on your skin for a whole day before commuting to buy it. Or else you may regret your decision especially if you suffer from breakouts!
