Not my cup of tea

Although being colour matched a shade or two darker, this foundation just didn't make the cut :/ takes a while to fully set and also feels like it never blends in properly, kind of just sits on your skin. I felt that it was extremely noticeable that I was wearing foundation :/

Tips: Make sure to get the right shade, a little goes a long way so blend blend blend !

Not for Me!!

This foundation is quite thick and heavy feeling on the face and the shades are just annoying! I feel NW shades are to pinky and NC shades are to yellow, so I would have to mix to get a tone right for me. It needed to be worn as a full coverage and with a primer applied otherwise it would go patchy! I also found it also broke me out….BIG negative.

The positives are that it can be built up to be a very full coverage, and there are many shades.

Simply the best

I love this foundation. It is the one I use the most. You only need to apply the smallest amount as it goes far. It is easy to apply, spreads easily (not thick ) and gives good coverage which lasts the day. It doesn't look like you are wearing lots of foundation, it has a natural look. One bottle lasts a long time and well worth the money.

My go too!

I have played and experimented with so many foundations, like most of you. When i purchased this foundation when i got it with my ball makeup from Mac (last year) i haven't turned back!

Seriously i'm so happy with this product! The foundation matches me amazing, that was my first shock when looking into the mirror. Second it wasn't cakey on me or anything, it didn't feel cloggy either. It covered everything the way a foundation should! It goes on well and i don't need heaps. A bottle of this can last me around 6-8 months.

I'm extremely happy with this product and i would seriously recommend slurging out on this.

A good foundation

MAC Studio Fix foundation fluid is a really good foundation. It is quite a thick consistency so it has really good coverage but it is also lightweight so it doesn't feel like you have a huge amount of make up on your face. They have quite a big selection of different shades so it is easy to find one to match your skin colour. I love using this foundation for special occasions and times when I want a really good coverage. Its not the cheapest out there but is definitely worth the price. Definitely recommend!!

Tips: Make sure you get the right shade for your skin tone, and using a flat top foundation brush is best for this product! And remember to blend!

Love love love

Absolutely fell in love with this foundation. It is the first time I have bought a really expensive foundation and it stays on all day opposed to my other cheap(ish) foundatiions that I originally bought. Covers the face so nicely and is perfect for my skin. Definitely recommend this product to anyone. :) x

Not for oily skin

I have been using MAC make-up for years, since I was a teen in fact. I have felt a sense of loyalty to them, I guess because I have been using them for so many years and some of there products are all time favorites of mine. I have used Studio Fix Foundation for the last couple of years and like the look the product provides. It gives the skin a dewy look and it's long lasting, which is always a major plus. A rather significant downside for me is that it caused me to have frequent breakouts. I have combination skin, that can be more problematic due to hormonal changes and is pretty sensitive, thus i try not to wear make-up everyday but when I did apply the foundation, I got more breakouts. I assumed that this would be the case for most foundations but after feeling fed up, I tried a a new product from a different brand and have subsequently found out that my new foundation does not cause breakouts. Sadly, I wont use this product again but would possibly recommend it to friends that do not have breakout problems.

Tips: Apply the foundation with a brush or with your fingers for a more even coverage. Don't use a sponge or pad as it tends to waste a lot of the product

MAC Studio Fix

I love, love, love this foundation. I have an oily complexion so I'm apprehensive when it comes to wearing liquid foundation. This foundation so far has been the only one that does not make my skin more oily and lasts long. Coverage is great!

Tips: You don't have to use a lot to cover your face. Use the moisture finishing spray to help it to last longer.

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!

Great full coverage

I got matched by the staff to the wrong shade in this foundation (so annoying!) but never the less, this foundation is great! It's a thick consistency and has a good full coverage but it doesn't look cakey! It looks quite natural for a full coverage foundation and settles into the skin well, it is a matte finish which is very drying as soon as I apply it to my skin so moisturise a lot if you're like me! But I can tell it would be great for oily skin. There's a great amount in the bottle, and you don't use much. There is a great colour selection, even a colour for someone as pale as me! I found this went on well with a angled top brush, flat top brush and a beauty blender! It won't irritate sensitive skin but let the skin breathe well. Annoying that there is no pump, I suggest buying one as you can use it on other products once one runs out! It blends out well and lasts such a good amount of time without budge or transferring, great in the camera and won't give off any shiny patches :)

Tips: If you have very pale skin I suggest getting NC 15 (yellow under tones) rather than NW 15 (pink undertones) which will make your skin look very orangey pink Moisturise lots before putting this on if you have dry skin
