MAC Studio Fix Powder + Review

Has got to be one of my favourite powder foundations!!

I purchased this online from the US Mac website when I was first starting out with makeup and wanted one of everything - a powder, foundation, eyeshadow etc etc etc (you know how it is...) So this was my first ever powder foundation purchase and I can honestly say i will not switch to any other brand!

It is everything I want/need in a powder. I love how I can just brush a tiny amount on my face and Im good for going out during the day, or build the powder up to more full coverage and be set for night! To set my powder and to make sure its not cakey I always use my Mac Fix + on top though! Even though I normally have dry skin, if i moisturise properly and prime my face I don't feel as though the powder dries my face out - it still manages to sit nicely and look nice on!

All mac packaging is super sleek and black, so it looks great and feels great in your hands. The powder comes with a small applicator sponge thing and a mirror as well, which makes it handy to touch up if you're out and about. However, through personal preference, I don't use the applicator it comes with as I much prefer to use just a normal powder brush and it seems to do the trick!

In my opinion the product is well worth the price! If you take your time and get colour matched properly and see how you look in different lighting then you will love it! Such an easy to use product which I would definitely recommend to all!

I've used this product for the last 3 years now. I use it on top of my foundation to "set" the foundation and remove shininess. On lazy days when I don't feel like putting foundation on I use this product to even my skin tone. Does a great job. The price of the product is really a bargain and one of these baby's can last me near 6 months and that's everyday use!

This is a fantastic product with great coverage, which you can build up as needed. I use everyday to set my liquid foundation, or occasionally just over the top of moisturiser/primer to even my skintone. I build up to a heavier coverage for night time use. It is definitely worth the price (although is MUCH cheaper overseas so if you're travelling, stock up!) and does last a long time even when using everyday. I generally apply with a brush to avoid cakiness, however the compact comes with a sponge which I use occasionally when out just to top up on my nose and chin if I get a bit rosy! I have used this product for years and recommend it to everyone - all skin types seem to find this a great product.

I have to wear make up every day for work. This is my go to every day powder. Set it over DW and it blend beautifully. Stays on all day, with the right primer, and I always feel beautiful with it on. Perfect shade for me too. Only issue is it sets into my frown lines so I no longer use on my forehead.

If i dont feel like doing my makeup i will just use this alone on my face. It does cover a lot! But doesnt feel cakey or powdery on your face. Love it. Cant be without it!

This powder works amazing on its own or over top of your favourite foundation for extra coverage. I was so upset when I hit the pan. I am yet to repurchase.

I purchased this product after seeing a fair few You-Tube Beauty guru's sing it's praises. It took about a year to convince me, but it is one of those products I now cannot be without. When using this it makes your skin look like you are going over it with a photoshop filter. It creates an amazing base for blush and bronzer and does not necessarily need setting or more power using afterwards. Really light to wear and I only need a bit of a top up on my T-zone if I am heading out after work - so 8 hours with no problems.

This product is great for anybody, who like me has combination skin or anybody with oily skin too.

I like that it can be used on it's own, or used to set a foundation. It has great pigment, so find that on days when I don't want to put in any effort with my makeup but still don't want to be barefaced, this is the perfect product. It gives good coverage but doesn't feel cakey.

I only used the sponge that came with it for touch ups, but used a brush the rest of the time as I felt it applied better/more evenly that way.

Flawless EVERY time! My most go to face is BB cream, Mac select cover up and studio fix. I look airbrushed! For the best application I find buffing a small bit over firstly with a big fluffy brush then going in with the puff that comes with studio fix, then buffing with a kabuki. The finish is perfectly matte, full coverage, light weight, breathable. Doesn't leave you looky cakey and powdery if applied right. I have so much love for this product and I've continuously repurchased for 3 years now. I do not know life without my studio fix - and quite frankly, I believe life is not worth living without it! Pricey but who cares - this is a solid purchase and I smile every time I see it. I love love LOVE it!
