This is a sleek black compact with a decent sized mirror on the inside and a compartment under the powder for a sponge ( I threw that away- I prefer to use a brush)
I use it two ways- I find its great for by itself just to smooth out skin and perk you up a bit, I will do this for light makeup days or when I'm looking a bit tired and can't be bothered with a full face. I do not find that any powder foundation gives me the coverage I want say for a night out.
I do also find that studio fix powder works great over liquid foundation. it is what I use to set my foundation down- I do not find it too cakey or powdery this way but If I have gone a bit crazy on it then my magical fix+ sorts me out.
All in all I have found this has lasted me a long time (keeping in mind I do not wear makeup daily) and gives my skin a lovely finish and coverage.
Will continue to repurchase
I was always sceptical of MAC products, thinking they were mostly name drops and it wasn't until we won an incentive at work of MAC vouchers that I actually tried it. Who doesn't love free make up?! So I purchased a MAC studio fix powder foundation in W22, I have been loyal to this powder ever since! I wear it by itself on my face as I am not a big make up person, since using it my skin has improved and I receive regular compliments on my make up. If your not sure on the product, go to a MAC store and ask a make up artist to apply it for you so you can see for yourself! They also help with the right colour selection and that sort of stuff. I also apply a nice hydrating moisturiser before applying as I only use the powder on its own, so if you want to do that, I'd recommend applying moisterisor first
