MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid SPF 15 Review

The formula of this foundation is spot on for even coverage and ability to blend for a seamless finish, there is also a wide array of skin tones catered for that everyone can find their true match.

Downside I found was that it doesn't come with a pump, but you can purchase one from the MAC store to add on but then that just adds to the price, but I did grab the pump as it can be moved onto a new bottle when replacing and it makes the whole process easier so you don't waste product.

Long lasting, medium coverage that you can build up and doesn't clog the pores, works well with a variety of primer types too as well as setting powders. It is a dream.

This foundation covers everything while looking natural. It is also great for building coverage! It also provides and natural glow while sitting on the skin really well, (it doesn't go 'scaley').

One night, after finding out that I was going to graduate, I was kicking around Riccarton Mall, wondering, How am I going to treat myself for this huge achievement. Again. Because I'll use any excuse multiple times.

I ended up at MAC, wanting some of that mysterious Rose pigment that money just can't buy, and decided when I couldn't get that, I'd get a new foundation. After a discussion with the wonderful store manager, she put me onto studio fix and then colour matched me there and then.

Applied with a beauty blender, the finish is medium, and flawless and stays that way all work day. I do find it a little on the drying side but with oily skin, that sometimes isn't a bad thing. The first few times, it broke me out, but now I don't have any problems!

Colour match is good however left my skin too oily after a few hours even with primer and powder to set. I use the Mac waterweight foundation and its perfect. Leaves my skin looking fresh and flawless and would give that one a 5/5 easily.

I have tried so many different foundations and Studio Fix is still my favourite. It doesn't look cakey or patchy for my combo skin, although the T zone can get shiny after a few hours. I like using this with the Mac Mineralized Timecheck Lotion as it really gives me a flawless effect. I just wish it didn't have any SPF so I could wear it on a night out. It does seem to give flash back in flash photography due to the titanium oxide from the SPF.

This foundation used to be my holy grail! In the beginning it worked what I thought was wonders and it colour matched my skin amazingly! However after trying out a few other foundations I came to realise that it did unfortunately come up slightly patchy if you didn’t use a fair amount on your beauty blender/brush. However this could quite easily be just because if my skin type and how the foundation took to it! After using a bit more and making it matte by applying a powder it worked quite well :) It is however quite hard to access, where I’m from we only have 1 Mac counter in a makeup store so when they don’t have things it’s incredibly hard to purchase as America doesn’t ship to NZ directly. This does make some things difficult.

This foundation is the ultimate, it’s so easy to blend and stays on all day, they have a really good shade range and I like that it has SPF too. So when wearing everyday you get constant sun protection.
