Great coverage

I am using this for months but not everyday. I am feeling guilty when I put it on my face everyday because of its price! I only use this when I don't feel like putting full make up on my face and when I just want to cover some of my blemishes.

The powder foundation is really nice because you can put it as it is. It can cover light blemishes and it stays on your face for a long time. I love that it has many shades that can match a lot of skin. The only thing I don't love about this is its price, but its actually worth your money. If you want a more affordable one, there are lots of dupes coming out in the market nowadays, just be careful with the ingredients.

Overall, this is my holy grail powder foundation. Perfect for my skin type and my skin color.

Favourite Powder

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I use it almost everyday on top of my Nars sheer glow foundation. It does not go on cakey, but has great coverage. Sometimes I wear it by itself (with primer) and it does the job great. Im lucky I received this as a gift so I don't feel as bad using it all the time because of the price! Sometimes foundation doesn't sit well on my nose, so I would put this on my nose and it makes all the redness go away, it does not move throughout the day and it does not make the blackheads on my nose more prominent. This is in all honesty the best powder I have ever used and I will be very sad when it runs out. I am quite a fair girl and I have the shade NC15 and it is the perfect match to my skin-tone. I was lucky with getting the right colour as it was a gift, but I would recommend getting matched by a professional.

ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE

Ever since I started using this powder last year I have never gone back. ITS GREAT!

I have it in two shades, NW20 and NW22 for my fair/light skin and it's just great. I find the NW20 almost perfectly matches my skin tone and I use it on an almost daily basis. I often put BB cream on my face and top it off with this powder using a flat angled brush that applies it quite densely. I find using it this way gives me great coverage! If i want a more minimal/less coverage look I apply it with a big powder brush which disperses the powder more across my face.

Although the NW22 is a bit too warm/dark for my natural skin tone but I often use this powder when I am fake tanned or want to look a bit darker. I usually apply it with a big powder brush.

All in all this product is great, probably my favourite MAC product. Use a smaller denser brush for more coverage and a bigger brush for less. You don't need liquid foundation to have full coverage! The formula is great, it's quite soft and buttery, not too chalky and blends out really nicely. There's a big range of colours, even differentiating between warm and cool tones. I wish it was cheaper but I think it's definitely worth it!

Tips: Spend some time finding the right shade

A Perfect Powder!

The MAC Studio Fix Powder is a LOVELY product! While it's more expensive than the Natio powder I usually get I've found it to have a wonderful effect on the skin. Great for applying overtop of foundation with a brush. For pale skin this powder is excellent as it doesn't result in a yellowy finish and doesn't seem to oxidise easily either. Stays on all day and helps to keep my skin looking fresh and flawless.

Any way is the right way!

I wear this everyday sometimes with foundation underneath but mostly just moisturiser concealer and the studio fix powder and I’m ready to go! Saves so much time and looks so natural!

HOLY grail!!!

This is my go to everyday powder! It is super versatile, depending on what I want to wear (in terms of makeup) I use it either all over my face as a medium/full coverage, or a little over my foundation to set it in place and to provide some extra coverage and longevity. It blends easily and doesn’t leave my face feeling cakey like some other powders I have used in the past. Definitely my go to when travelling and when I want to look good with minimal fuss!

Tips: If you feel like it leaves you too matte then use a hydrating setting spray!

MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation

Best powder foundation I have tried! I use this whenever I want to wear foundation but am in a rush or don't have time to put on liquid foundation. It's quick and easy. I just buff it in with a face powder brush or kabuki brush. They say it's full coverage but it's definitely medium coverage for me. It's buildable so you can keep layering till you get the coverage you want but I find when I do this, it makes my skin look cakey. Overall I think its a really good powder foundation and I would recommend others to try it out.

Tips: Make sure your skin is thoroughly moisterised before using this, specially if you have dry skin as it clings to dry patches.

Long Lasting

I got this powder 8 months ago and 8 months later I still have it. I apply it on top on my foundation (which is also Studio Fix) using a kabuki brush, so don't use much as all.

You might think that $64 is a bit pricey but when you think about how long it lasts, the price isn't too bad at all.

My only concern is that it does show up your pores and fine lines if not applying it properly, so make sure you blend :o)

One of my essential items!

I use this powder daily in conjunction with my BB cream (Maybelline Dream Pure) or on its own. I don't like to wear heavy make up as foundation has a tendency to cause me breakouts but I still like to have a light coverage to even up my skin tone and hide minor blemishes. I absolutely love this product and always stock-up at Duty Free where possible!

I apply mine with a powder brush and I find this gives me the light coverage I need and also uses the product sparingly. A compact typically lasts me approximately 6 months. If I need heavier coverage I use the sponge to concentrate the product in that area. I love the ease of applying this powder with a brush, it is fool proof and similar to mineral foundations you can build up the coverage to an extent. I also like that the finish does not give you a heavily, powdered/ caked look.

Tips: Apply with a powder brush as I find it gives a lighter finish versus using the sponge which applies it more heavily. Using a brush also allows it to last a long time!

loved this product, was always a great pick me up during the day! because of my oily skin it didn't stay on to long but was great for thawing away the shine! the colour matched perfectly. it looks stunning in photos but it can get to powder your you face

Tips: use lightly
