Not For Natural Girls

This was more heavy coverage in my view. I don't like a lot of foundation but I found this to be more mask like and best suited to a night out or for those needing heaps of coverage. I would recommend it to those who wear a full face of make up.

Tips: Definitely start with a little bit and build from there.

Smelly

The coverage of this foundation is good, but its smells like chemicals and its very cakey, if you don't mind heavy feeling foundations then this shouldn't be too bad but I didn't like it and it look orangey in patches also

Long lasting, high coverage

This has been my holy grail foundation for the last year. It's been difficult for me to find a product that will stay on my oily face all day without looking cakey, wearing off or not having enough coverage. Studio Fix is buildable, and buffed in properly looks like a second layer of skin. The large range of shades means you can find one that suits you to a T, I've applied it at 7am before work and gone out afterwards only to have flawless skin when I get home around 12pm. I truly think it's worth every dime and lasts far longer than I had expected.

Tips: Go to a MAC store and have yourself matched, preferably in the morning so you can wear it all day to find how it wears on your skin and whether the colour suits you in both natural and artificial lighting.

Hesitant at first

I had been wanting to try this product for a very long time but was quite hesitant because of all of he mixed reviews I had been reading about but I finally bit the bullet and decided to try it for myself! I love this foundation, I have acne which is quite bad but it has no trouble in hiding my redness. The coverage is medium to full but it's definitely build able depending on the look you are going for.

Tips: Buy a pump! It's very hard to get out of the bottle as it's quite thick and a pump would definitely solve this problem. Make sure you get colour matched before buying, the shades in this particular foundation are different compared to the other types of MAC foundation

Holy Grail

I always hear pretty mixed review about this foundation, but has always been my favourite foundation. My skin type tends to be a bit temperamental so sometimes it's oily (in which case this foundation is PERFECT), normal (still perfect) or dry (not as perfect, but still looks nice if I moisturise first) - I am able to use this foundation whenever. Love it. The colour I had matches my skin perfectly and I love the matte finish (because who likes a shiny face?). Now I have left my Studio Fix comfort zone and tried other (cheaper) foundations, but this will always be my favourite.

MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid

Holy grail foundation! I wear this on nights out as it is very high coverage and long wearing. It is thick but dosnt feel heavy on the skin. I had to buy the pump separately which I thought was a bit annoying as its already a high priced foundation but the pump is great to avoid mess and pouring out too much foundation. I have re-purchased studio Fix a few times and will definitely continuing using this product.

Tips: Dont buy the SPF version for nights due to photo flash back. Get shade matched at a store for your perfect colour. Buy a pump as it does not come with it.

One of my favourites!

This was the first high-end foundation I ever bought (the start of an expensive addiction) and even today it still remains one of my favourites. I love the coverage level, it's medium-to-full but is sooo easy to build. I was quite a beginner when I first used this, but I found it easy to build and blend.

A little seems to go a long way for me, and it has pretty great staying power - without making your face look too matte or flat - which some long-wearing foundations can do.

My only wish was that MAC didn't charge extra for a pump! Would have loved one with this but I don't want to fork out an extra $10-15.

Tips: Applies amazingly with a flat-top foundation brush! I dab a bit onto a flat plastic surface (e.g. a compact lid) and work with my brush from that. I stipple it on then use circular motions to buff it out when my face is all covered.

If you have oily skin this is the product for you!

Mac Studio Fix Foundation Fluid provides matte finish that is a buildable medium coverage. I find this foundation is easy to blend and is long wearing. As I suffer from oily skin, a long wearing foundation that doesn't slide off my face is a must have for me. The only thing that it does have a faint paint smell. It doesn't bother me but some people might not like it. I have repurchased this product time and time again. It also has a SPF 15 protection which is great all year around. I would recommend the purchase of this product as it is a holy grail product of mine. The $60 investment is truly worthwhile.

Tips: I would recommend using a buffing brush for a flawless application,

It's A Goodie

I really like this product, I was unfortunately matched incorrectly so the shade I was given is too orange for my skin tone but I still wear it when going to town/nights out. It's perfect for long wear and I find it lasts all night with minimal touch ups and sometimes no touch ups are required. I think if you have a really good foundation brush it goes on so smoothly and evenly and is an over all nice product to use.

Tips: I pair this with the napoleon auto pilot underneath with the Rimmel Stay matte powder on top for a flawless long lasting finish every time!! There is an Orange real techniques brush I use to apply this foundation and its amazing, but I cant remember what name it says on the brush, might be a powder brush but it applies this foundation so well!!

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.
