Well MAC is hardly a new name in the makeup world and MACs Studio Fix Fluid Foundation is already
a tried & true favorite for many ladies. But, gasp…… I'm just now trying it!!!

Is it worthy of it's reputation??? Let me quickly tell you the truth….

Packaging: mehhhh, I'm not impressed. The top is a soft velvety rubber, the container is a sturdy glass,
but there is NO pump included. MAC would have you buy a pump from them for $10….on top of the $29.00 you
just spent for the foundation.

• Claims for MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation ( as per their website) A modern foundation that combines a natural matte finish and medium to full buildable coverage with SPF 15 protection.

• MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation SPF15 NC30 4.2 out of 5 stars 156. 14 offers from $37.50. Special offers and product promotions. Was not Mac quality.no coverage thin texture.not Mac.so disappointed Read more. Comment Report abuse. 5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy.
• There is a place for both Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup and MAC Studio Fix Fluid in my life, heart, and makeup cabinet. At the moment, I wear Studio Fix Fluid to work during the day, while I reserve Double Wear for special occasions, nights out, and days where I just want to hide behind a flawless finish.

(I'm ALL FOR spending money on quality products, but it just ANNOYS me that the price of the pump went from $6
(I believe) to $10 over time. MAC if you refuse to include a pump, despite the countless complaints, then at least don't
continue to jack up the price of your optional pump.) Winrar equivalent for mac.

MAC's Studio Fix Fluid Foundation is a definite favourite in the world of beauty amongst makeup artists and regular women alike. Like most MAC products, this one has a cult following and really does live up to the hype. The only downside being - you need to be willing to part with around two grand for a bottle of this foundation.

Texture/Consistancy: This foundation is very thick & creamy, right out of the bottle. I love this about it!!
It doesn't really run or drip off your palette or hand like other liquid foundations tend to do.
I applied this foundation with a damp stippling brush. You will need to work it in fast as it sets fairly quickly.
It has a slightly sticky/tacky feeling which only lasts a few minutes, until the foundation sets. After it sets
the finish feels soft and velvety, no stickiness.

Smell: The smell reminded me of actual house paint… It smells very similar to interior paint, but not so
strong, not necessarily unpleasant either. I have only been able to smell it on my face, a few times, once applied. Video to mp3 converter download mac.

Coverage: Studio Fix Fluid Foundation starts off with a medium coverage which I easily built up into a full coverage. I have alot
of rosiness in my skin, which it did cover but I felt I had to use quite a bit of product to get it to full coverage.

I would have liked it to be full coverage with less product.
*I did apply MACS Prep & Prime before the foundation…. Slides on mac. BUT nonetheless I am still experiencing the 'pore problem'. Visable pores
is my main issue I want a foundation to correct!!! This foundation started off concealing pores pretty well, but around the six hour mark,
I noticed my pores were not concealed at all. Also the foundation had settled into the creases around nose. I'm not happy with this!

How Matte & how long?? Studio Fix has a 'soft matte' finish to it. A tiny bit of luminosity remains on the skin, but it's still quite matte.
I would say it's a fairly natural looking matte. Despite any trends, I am now really favoring matte over dewey. I did the dewy thing for
so long, I'm just personally over it. I like how matte tends to to be more flattering on imperfections such as pores.
Also, I find the warmer & more
humid the climate the more dewwy & oily my skin will be, so matte balances out what a hot, wet climate will do to my face.
It has been an AWESOME unseasonably cool day here, so I couldn't test the foundation in a tropical-like climate yet. But it has remained matte
for 9 hours now.

Conclusion: I give MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation 3.9 out of 5 stars. Overall it is a very good full coverage matte foundation. The lack of
diminishing pores, and it's slight creasing around nose & mouth can be a real problem especially in harsh flourescent lighting. It's lasting power
is excellent though!!!

Thank you to my secret santa for my 'surprise' gift – a MAC gift card! Aka it was the only thing on my Christmas list. Thank you Angela!

I am currently obsessed with trying to achieve a flawless face with makeup. I think that working with a blank canvas to apply blush makes the blush that much more beautiful. I used to think that I would never wear face makeup but I finally realized that I had redness in my cheeks and around my nose that I had to neutralize.

I have been using Make Up For Ever's Face & Body Liquid Makeup for a couple of weeks and I absolutely love it. It's a water-based foundation, similar to MAC's Face & Body, and it has very light coverage which was what I was looking for at the time. But now I want more coverage, give me more!

After a lot of online research, I finally decided on MAC's Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation. Why? 1) A lot of people I know use this powder. 2) Has great reviews on makeupalley. 3) Supposedly provides medium to full coverage. 4) Can be used as a setting powder over liquid foundation. 5) Easy and quick application in the mornings.

At the store, the sales associate applied Studio Fix Powder on my face with a large powder brush. I don't know if it was the lighting or the intense mirrors in there but it looked terrible. It looked chaulky and I could see the little hairs and pores on my face. Ew. Then she applied Studio Fix Fluid on the other side of my face with a foundation brush and it was pretty! I really liked it. I bought both, even though I wasn't thrilled with the Studio Fix Powder. I am determined to love it. Plus, MAC has a 30 day return policy.

Packaging: The Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation is in MAC's standard compact. The powder opens up to a sponge underneath. I have no intentions of using that sponge. The Studio Fix Fluid comes in a glass bottle. If you want a pump, you have to buy it separately which I did. It is $6, it's totally worth it.

First of all, when did I get all those moles on my face?? lol. I started by applying MAC Studio Fix Fluid on the bottom half and MUFE Face & Body on the top. The Studio Fix Fluid definitely has more coverage (obviously – Face & Body is water-based) but it applies very smoothly with my flat top kabuki. It's not too thick or heavy but personally, I find it has just the right amount of coverage I was looking for. You can definitely build it up by layering more on. And as an FYI – the NC30 has a lot of yellow undertone to it.

For the MAC Studio Fix Powder, it applied MUCH better with my stippling brush. It wasn't as cakey and thick as it was in the store. I kept a light hand as I stippled and buffed out the powder on the lower half of my cheek. I can foresee this being very easily buildable and if not applied carefully, way too caked on. Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer was something I had until I abandoned it for my MUFE. I still like it but I just haven't touched it since my MUFE. *What a waste of money. When I went to link the tinted moisturizer, I saw how much it was. Oops.*

Sorry – I should have realized that the lighting was different in the comparison picture above. And I JUST realized my mouth turns up on one side and turns down on the other side. Weird. Awkward.

Conclusion: I need to use both products for at least a week before I can decide if I truly recommend either/both products. However, I can say that I recommend you try it out if you're looking for a medium to full coverage foundation/powder. My initial impression is favorable and I don't have any plans to return either yet. I think I like the Studio Fix Fluid better. I noticed that the powder smudged off much more so than the liquid – both when patting my cheeks with a napkin and when I rubbed both cheeks on my bf's sweater. I'll update with a more concrete conclusion soon!

Tips: Sigma's F80 Flat Top Kabuki is great for applying the Studio Fix Fluid. You could probably use the stippling brush also but I really liked the stippling brush for the Studio Fix Powder. Always moisturize your face, let it dry then apply primer, let it set and then apply the foundation. You can use the Studio Fix Powder to set the Studio Fix Fluid. Wash your face every night!! **Update** I used my flat top kabuki to apply the Studio Fix Powder.definitely the best finish! **Another Update** I just tried applying Studio Fix Fluid with a beautyblender, A-MA-ZING! Love it! Try it if you want light-medium coverage. I will review it soon.

**UPDATE** I've only used Studio Fix Fluid fully once, for New Year's Eve.

That night, I felt like that was the most makeup I've ever worn but after I got used to it, I liked the look. I also like the pictures and how the foundation came out in them. In the picture above, it obviously looks like I'm wearing face makeup but I don't think it looks too thick (or does it? lol). I applied it with Sigma's F80 Flat Top Kabuki. For a lighter coverage like for an everyday look, try applying it with a beautyblender (link in previous paragraph).

One more thing…I didn't shop at MAC too much until recently so I was excited to take advantage of MAC's Back 2 MAC program! Basically you bring in 6 used eyeshadows, lipsticks, etc. and you can get a free lip gloss, eyeshadow or lipstick! I picked a lipstick because one particular color caught my eye: It's a Lustre finish and the color is Capricious. It's so pretty!!! I really like plums and berries on me and this color is great because it's sheer and I can wear it on the daily.

I clearly don't know how to create short posts. Sorry!! I have just way too much to say 😉
