MAC studio fix is a medium coverage build able foundation - this means it can be used to create more of a full coverage as well. It is very long lasting - especially with powder to set - and seemed to even be good out in the elements and even seemed to be water resistant in my experience. The product is liquid but once applied has quite a matte finish. At $60 RRP the price is higher than some, but the pay off is in the quality of the product. The bottle is glass so not ideal to keep in a handbag and the screw on lid makes applying a little difficult but you can purchase a pump from MAC which you can screw on. I have sensitive skin and it was fine for me. I would recommend MAC studio fix to anyone who likes the option of a bit more coverage.

Tips: Set with powder to reduce shine and keep it in place for the day. Purchase the pump for easy application!
I love this product as I use it everyday, sheer coverage but if you apply more you can easily achieve full coverage
Tips: Not suitable over dry patches of skin
I bought this of Ebay as i wanted mac but didn't want to pay NZ prices
And i am so impressed. It hides my flaws quite nicely and also looks natural doesn't look too caked on either
My shade is NC20 and it was definitely worth the money. And because i don't wear makeup all the time it has lasted me a good 8 months. An is still half full.
Highly recommend
I love love love this! I love the medium coverage, and the matte finish looks really natural! Definitely worth the price
I actually bought this because I was told in store that it was the only MAC foundation in my colour (NW10). No other MAC foundation comes in NW10. It is probably too high coverage for me but unfortunately if I wanted my colour I didn't have much of a choice :(
The consistency is pretty thick which is a bit off putting. I find it helpful to use a damp sponge to sheer it out a bit so it doesn't feel so globby on my skin.
I find that after around 8 hours of wear it does settle in my pores but I imagine most foundations would do this after 8 hours!
It does smell a bit like paint but the smell doesn't linger.
I've never had a problem with breaking out with this foundation. My skin seems to be fine with it.
I wish it came with a pump!!! Heaps of foundation gets stuck on the inside of the cap. Such a waste.
Overall it's a good staple foundation, good for nights out and special occasions but perhaps not every day because it is so heavy.
Tips: Buy a pump when you buy the foundation! See if you can go to MAC and have it applied so you can see how it feels and if the thick consistency/feel is ok for you.
I love this foundation and is another must have in my makeup bag for nights out when a more heavy duty foundation is required. The coverage is great and a little goes a long way. I have found that this product works for me as I am lucky and have s normal skin type however when lending to friends with more of an oily skin type it doesn't sit as well for long periods of time. The coverage is great the product is great however make sure it is correct and suitable for your skin type
As someone with super pale skin and a neutral undertone finding foundation for myself is hard work. That and the fact I'm a dance teacher and need something that's going to last all day.
Through trial and error I have found my favorite foundation. WN13 is my shade and the best thing about this foundation is it lasts all day even when I'm sweating.
The only touch up I need to do during the day is powder my nose as it get a little shiny. Otherwise it stays perfect.
Tips: Use a luminous primer if you prefer a more dewy finish.
I love this product. Not only can I have a nice layer for the day that gives my skin a soft, smooth look.... I can come home and build it up for evening wear in next to no time. Nice and easy to apply, and last all day long. No need to powder, unless you want to.
Tips: I recommend putting it on with a brush, and then using a beauty blender to smooth it all out. Wearing a primer underneath helps with the removal of it at the end of the day.
I’m a fan of MAC products and having a shop very close to me is handy! MAC and Estée Lauder are two of my favourite foundations.
This foundation is packaged in the iconic glass packing, simple with a black lid. Classy and elegant.
The formula is lovely. I like a good coverage for my foundation and this delivers. There’s a good range of colours so you can get a perfect match. It definitely ticks a lot of boxes for me.
I have slightly dry skin that can be sensitive. I’ve had no issues with MAC products. I ensure I moisturize well before I apply this product.
The foundation gives a matte finish that stays on well during the day. It gives coverage that is medium to full. The finish is great and I just keep on going back to this foundation.
This foundation is fantastic if you enjoy a fuller coverage or have a few problem areas. I like it because the lasting power on it is great, I can wear it for a full day of work without melting off ib the heat or letting through any oil. I have dry skin and find that a moisturizing primer definitely helps prevent this from clinging to dry patches ob my face. The colour I use is NC15 and it's a pretty good match. If you apply thin layers at a time it won't appear cakey.
Tips: Get colour matched if you can.
