MAC Studio Fix Powder + Review

I love this stuff! It really does make your face look flawless. I mostly use it over my regular foundation for a nice matte flawless finish but I do wear it on its own as well as it has very good coverage. Its not powdery at all and leave your skin nice and smooth. This is is the only powder I will use and I have tried many that don't stack up to the standards.

This is my favourite powder of all time. It is high coverage, long wearing and has a matte finish. It comes in a range of shades, I've only tried NW15 which is the perfect shade for my very fair skin. This is an expensive product so its better to buy off the US site and use youshop because this powder is definitely worth it.

I have terrible acne scarring and oily skin and I couldn't recommend this product enough. The coverage is just fantastic and it is not cakey at all.

I can honestly say this is one of my all time favorite products and it is definitely worth every cent! I was always on the hunt for a product that provided full coverage and didnt look or feel caked on my face and MAC studio fix does the job. I use a bit of concealer and then brush it on and im pretty much set for the day! Literally for the day, I apply it in the morning at around 9am and then still by 9pm at night it is still sitting on my skin. It does great with covering/concealing every little imperfection I have, I tend to break out a lot and because of that have scarring but this product covers all my imperfections. Even with my foundation, I dab a little of this on to set it and still my face feels light and is looking great! After using MAC studio fix, I dont think ill be turning to another product for a long while. This is definitely a must have for everyone, seriously I dont think anyone could ever regret buying it!

I have used this product for years and years and use it daily. I love the fact that it is multi purpose usable both and a setting powder and a powder foundation. I gives a matte finish but still lets your natural oils come though making it not look caking. I recommend everyone have this in there hand bag and make up collection. also it last for yonks which is always a bonus.

I love my Studio Fix powder, I use this to set my foundation, on its own and for touch ups! I get quite oily as the day goes by, but I find with this powder I don't need to touch up as often. Great on top of your foundation for evening out. Stops you from getting that whitened out look from the camera flash!

I first started purchasing this product when I was around 15 years old (now 28).

When I first started using this product I simply used it as is - with the sponge. I loved the coverage on my young skin.. Simply made it flawless.

I now use it as my powder on top of my foundation. I either use a brush to dust over my face and set my Foundation or use the sponge and press on top of foundation for a fuller coverage look. Using the sponge and pressing the product into the face over Foundation really hides all my pores and imperfections.

The packaging is fabulous I love how you can just throw it into your bag for a quick touch up when you are out.

The price is a little more on the expensive side HOWEVER this product lasts for ages and I do believe it is money well spent.

This product would be fantastic on Oily or Combination skin. It could dry you out slightly if you suffer from dry skin.

Great colour options - I use an NC as I am a yellow base.

Will continue to purchase and love this product.

I am a huge fan of MAC products but I admit when I first started using this, I was really disapointed!

I had previously used the Studio Fix Fluid and when I asked my darling other half if he would kindly bring some with him next time he came to visit, he accidently bought me this instead.

It comes in a powder compact with sponge and mirror. Like other MAC compacts, the packing is your classic black, sleek and sturdy so good for chucking in the handbag for touch-ups.

I applied it using the sponge provided and found it did indeed give a matte, full-coverage finish on my oily, acne-prone skin. However, I went back a little while later to check my make-up and saw to my horror that instead of a flawless finish, my skin looked cakey and dry, showcasing my pores and uneven skin! I later tried again on freshly moisturised, primed skin with the same effect and was heavily disapointed.

I resigned myself to using it instead as a finishing product over BB cream or foundation, for a completely flawless, full-coverage look. For this, I applied it using a kabuki brush, which allowed me to lightly swirl the product over the skin, leaving the sponge for touch-ups during the day.

I later decided though that I was determined to make this work for me, and experimented a little with application. Success! I found that it WAS possible for me to use the Powder plus Foundation alone as a foundation by applying it with the kabuki brush instead of the sponge, which created a light-medium coverage as it was buildable, perfect for everyday wear. I also discovered that using it with a dampened blending sponge (I have the Real Techniques one) I was able to create a more full coverage look without the cakiness.

I am really happy that I played around with this as it is slowly becoming a staple in my makeup collection, it's a prime example of using a product in a way that works for you. I do recommend this if you're wanting a compact foundation that provides full coverage, I will definately put this on the repurchase list!

I first bought this about 2 years ago on holiday and have been buying it regularly ever since. It is great as a finishing powder on top of foundation or just as a bit of coverage when you don't feel like wearing much. I apply it with the MAC 167SE brush which makes it a lot easier to apply and to get the powder on evenly and smoothly rather than the sponge that comes with it.

this powder is so great i use it if i just want some lite coverage ontop of a bb cream or i can use it on my mac studio sculpt foundation for a more full cover i am in the shade nw15 and it is the most perfect shade for me i also love it for a touch up powder as it looks like ive put a hole new face of makeup on again !

I use this as my every day Powder to set my foundation. I know that this is a Foundation in itself, but it really is Amazing as a Powder also. You don't need much. I find that it fills in the texture and pores on my face and creates a smooth finish! It really is Awesome!
