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.

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!!!
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.

(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.)
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.

Wide angle webcam for mac. 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.

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…. BUT nonetheless I am still experiencing the “pore problem”. Where the screenshots saved on mac. 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.

Mac Studio Fix Fluid Reviews
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!!!
