What can I say about Mac as a brand? They are one of the best yet affordable brands out there.after using YSL foundations I soo wanted to use and love this foundation for more coverage.i have been to Mac to try different shades to match perfect but this oxidizes on me like crazy.seems like I am not alone and it can oxidize and does on some people. Great coverage though.

Yay
It has amazing coverage, a bit sceptical on the longevity of it. It certainly blends well and is hard to move once applied. Wouldn't recommend for acne prone or oily skin. It can be heavy and because of this, not suitable for everyday wear without breaking out. Awesome product for photos or a night out.
Tips: Definetely make sure you get a sample pot, and have it perfectly matched to your skin tone. Don't fall into the trap of buying one shade slightly darker for summer, because you'll end up frustrated and out of pocket.

Converted!
I've always used just powder foundation and tried different liquid bases, but lately decided I wanted to be more serious about getting into using a liquid foundation. The MAC Studio Fix was the best one that I found, it goes on so easily and does not feel heavy at all on my face (which is something I am very serious about), I don't like to feel as if I have a thick layer of creamy stuff caked on, and I did not feel that at all with Studio Fix. I do only use it when I'm going out, and not for my day to day look, but it definitely is one of my favourite makeup products.
Tips: For some serious coverage, and super makeup for photo's, I found using the liquid and then my powder foundation over the top gives a great made up look.

MAC Studio Fix - Amazing Coverage
I have oily, acne-prone skin and to top it all off, hyperhidrosis so I have a hard time finding long-lasting foundations that don't sweat off or break me out. I first bought MAC Studio Fix Fluid when I was living in Queensland and desperately trying to find a liquid foundation that would stand up to the humidity there. Studio Fix beyond met my expectations of a foundation.
I applied using a foundation brush after priming, essential with this foundation if you have oily skin. It gives really even coverage, covering blemishes and redness with ease. It was able to build to very full coverage, allowing you to choose between wearing medium-full coverage depending on how much you apply. I then set with powder, and found that with this in place it really does last all day, with only a couple powder touch-ups during the day.
I did find it was a bit harder to blend this around my eyebrows which ended up looking slightly orange-tinged after applying, but this was easily fixed by applying eyebrow pencil and gel as I normally would anyway.
I really would recommend giving this a try if you're after a long-wearing foundation with flawless coverage that won't melt off.
Tips: MAC has so many different shades available, so it's easier to find your match. If your MAC foundation shade isn't quite right e.g. you're going from summer to winter, but the shade down doesn't match yet, ask for a sample of it at the MAC counter and then blend this into your foundation. I find this is a great and easy way to transition your liquid foundation from one season to the next without having to buy a new foundation straight away which may be a shade off anyway.

MAC
This is now my go to foundation. It has great coverage and I barely need any corrective concealer underneath, I have very red cheeks so need a small amount of concealer. Most foundations leave me with breakouts but I haven't had one since using this foundation. It gives you a great even base to work with.
Tips: You will need to use a blush with this to prevent looking washed out. This foundation doesn't come with a pump but one can be bought separately, I highly recommend buying one so that you don't tip to much product out each time you use it.

Not what I was looking for!
I've been really keen to try Studio Fix but hate the strong paint(?) smell... I really don't like a lot of fragrance or scent to my foundations. I felt like the colour was very orange too, but maybe I was matched wrong. My skin did get quite oily with this and it wasn't as long lasting as I wanted.

Low to Medium Coverage
I've had this foundation for quite a while now, and its average coverage! I love the finish it gives though! I set my face with a maybelline fit me powder in 310, and my shade is NW25
Tips: Get a pump for you foundation bottle! so much easier! And be careful when getting your foundation matched, the lady at MAC matched me for nw20 and it was way too light, even I could tell!

Pricey
I went into MAC last year to see if I could get matched up and purchase a foundation so I could buy my shade online. However I got a new shade in this foundation ( c4.5) when I am an NC25 in the powders so it didn't help unfortunately! I couldn't match up colours..
However I find this foundation to be quite runny and also doesn't help my oily skin. I often found that it would smear off during the day. However it is very easy to blend, the bottle top isn't very user friendly though, I would buy a pump next time. For the price though I recommend looking at Revlon Foundations, as this didn't provide the coverage or look I was looking for

I have just started using this foundation and so far I really love it. It is quite pricey, but worth is as you only need to use a little bit each time. It covers really well and I find that I do not need to use much concealer over my pimples. Does make my skin a wee bit shiny after wearing it til half way through the day, but I just touch up with powder and I am good to go again. It is very long lasting on the face.
