MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation MAC is a good brand. I know that they are so overrated but if their products were used on me by my make up artist then I know that this is a good product because she believes in it (and I totally trust her, it is my wedding after. 4.2/5 20 Reviews Leave a Review Buy Now MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 is not only a foundation but also a moisturizer that hydrates the skin, providing immediate relief from redness and irritation. This foundation offers a matte finish and medium to full coverage with a.
Level of coverage
Gives a medium to full coverage depending on how much you apply.
Finish
The finish of these is velvety but luminous – it’s not quite dewy and not matte. What’s great about these is that they’re lighter than concealer in coverage, meaning that you don’t get heavy patches when you use to touch up your base.
Longevity
Vlc mac multiple windows. Designed more to touch up where necessary, these are great for adding lasting power to your favourite foundations through the day.
Techniques that you might need to know
For me, these work best when buffed out with the fingers. Apply straight from the stick and then gently pat into the skin using a ring finger.
You’ll like this if…
– you want something handy to touch up with through the day
– you find that your make-up disappears from key areas like chin, cheeks and nose through the day
Avoid if…
If you want a very full coverage, I’d opt for one of the Studio Fix Concealers instead as they will give a more concentrated finish.
Products that work well with this
These sticks work well with everything. I love using them to touch up a foundation through the day, and if you want a fresh and polished no make-up look simply apply where needed and team with Strobe Cream. Launched in line with these was the Studio Fix Perfecting Powder. This is the perfect complimentary powder, setting your base with the tiniest hint of pigment to achieve a polished finish.
Everything else I need to tell you
The other day, I was on the train with my friend about to do her make-up and I didn’t have her foundation shade. Though I wouldn’t recommend it for the long term, I used an NC30 stick to do her entire base and she looked amazing. These are so handy to have in your handbag – the ultimate touch up tool.

In Detail MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review, Swatches and My Experience
(Shade: NC 30)
The MAC Studio fix fluid foundation was one of the brand foundations (many shades) in my professional kit when as a newbie Artist I was looking for a good base for the clients and after lots of good reviews and some recommendations I decided to buy this product.
Moving on to its packaging, the Foundation comes in a heavy glass jar bottle with a black screw cap on it without pump which makes it NOT so travel friendly. This foundation comes in a wide range of shades range- NW (Neutral Warm) which is meant for cool, pink undertones and NC (Neutral cool) which is for warm, yellow undertones. So don’t get confused.
The texture of this foundation is creamy (not runny) and quiet thick in consistency but blends easily. It can be applied using a beauty blender or buffing brush. I prefer using Real Techniques Buffing Brush. The coverage it provides is medium to high which sets the face to a natural matte finish.
Now let’s talk about the formula. It’s a silicon based product and has the tendency to break-out the sensitive skin types. People having normal to oily skin can give it a try but if you have dry and sensitive acne-prone skin like me then STAY AWAY from this product and I found it even oxidises a little on my skin also. The good thing is that the product has a good staying power. It lasts up to 6-7 hours easily even without a primer.
God! You know what! MAC is NOT a cruelty- free brand. They test their products on innocent animals. So I’ll definitely try to use cruelty free brand next time.
