MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

After hearing A LOT of great reviews on the MAC Studio Fix Foundation I finally went out and purchased one - and I'm in love! This is a fantastic product which I will use again and again.

The packaging is typical of MAC - simple, classic and functional. The bottle is glass, and although it doesn't come with a pump you can purchase those separately to pop on top.

The formula itself is gorgeous - not too heavy or too thin. Very easy to build up, but even one layer of this product provides really great coverage! It matched my super pale skin perfectly (NC15), lasted well throughout the day, and gave the slightly dewy finish which I love. Would definitely recommend this fabulous foundation! :)

I suffer from really dry skin on my face and body and in the past my dry skin was really visible when I put on foundation. It was a real confidence knocker. Also, I tried so many foundation colours but they never seemed to match my skin tone. I had almost given up until I tried the MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15. It was the perfect match for my skin tone. Even friends commented on how perfect my skin looked.

Everything about this foundation oozes innovation and modern sophistication from the simple minimalist design of the glass bottle to the pump with the lock feature that prevents your foundation from spilling all over the lining of your handbag.

While the cost is a little on the pricey side, a little really goes a long way. I brought my bottle in October last year and the bottle is almost at the end of it's life 10 months later. Or if you know someone that is going to the States, ask them to grab you a bottle as Mac products are usually 30-40% cheaper than in NZ.

The product itself feels light on my skin like i'm wearing nothing at all, yet leaves my skin looking airbrushed afterwards. I recommend teaming it with a bronzing powder (I use Mac Bronzing Powder) for a sunkissed look.

Pros: Perfect skin match, light on the skin, a little goes a long way, pump lock to prevent foundation spilling into your handbag.

Cons: Pricey.

Overall: I need MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 in my life.

This is definitely one of the best foundations I have owned! I am able to wear it on a day to day basis, with just one layer giving my skin a nice medium coverage, but what I also love is that it is so build-able and I am able to make it to a high coverage if I am going out! I would definitely recommend MAC studio fix for people who like a more 'natural' matte finish! Although abit on the more expensive side here in NZ, one bottle has lasted my nearly a year with still about half left! love love love xox

Finally a perfect foundation for my skin! I use NC15 regularly each day for a light-medium coverage. It is also buildable so is perfect for nights out or situations when you may need a bit more coverage. After trailing several brands of foundation it is great to find a foundation that matches my skin tone.

This is the best foundation ever and I have tried and worn many brands. The finish is flawless although I do believe a good base to work on and the right application tools definitely help with this and help a little go further than finger or sponge application. Love that coverage can be built up or using the brush, quite sheer. Have sometimes sensitive skin that has never reacted to this product. Also nice when worn quite light in coverage with a touch of bronzer or MAC MSF natural to set.

This mac foundation is possibly one of the most raved about foundations ever so naturally i had to try it out.

At first, i thought it blended quite nicely into my skin using a flat top kabuki brush and was really good coverage (medium to full). However after around 5 hours of wear i noticed that the foundation had turned sort of orange and oxidised a bit; also it had gone patchy and clung to a few dry patches on my face. I would not recommend this foundation to anyone with dry skin. It would suit more oilier types as it has a matte finish.

Not one of the best foundations I've tried, but maybe its just my skin (combination/dry with an oily t zone).

MAC product so it is very pricey, suprisingly I didn't understand why as this didn't really stand out for me. It was an average product for a very high price

I absolutely adore everything about this foundation! I find it a medium (but buildable coverage). I have moderately oily skin and I fefinitely love the matte finish the foundation gives me. I also find a little bit goes a very long way and a bottle lasts me a really long time! - I wish the bottle came with a pump, however that is a very small complaint. I like that is has a low SPF in it which helps to avoid flash back in photos which make you appear very pale. overall, yes the foundation can be pricey but it is well worth it!

This used to be my go to foundation, I'm not really sure what happened but it just doesn't do what it used to. I find it oxidises really easily and wear off unevenly even with primer and powder as a base. A bit disappointed really considering the price. My third and final bottle I'll be buying.

I use MAC studio fix foundation daily now as I find no other foundation gives me good enough coverage like this does! I use NW20 (I'm quite fair and this seems to be the most common colour) however I could probably go down a colour but I like to have some colour in my face. I usually set with one of the powders too and that gives the best results
