Mac Studio Fix Foundation Coverage
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is a one-step powder and foundation formula that offers medium to full coverage. It delivers an all matte finish that is velvety and allows the skin to breathe without clogging pores. MAC's Studio Fix foundations already have cult status for impressive matte coverage, and now there's a new foundation stick to add to the collection. Here&x27;s why you need it in your makeup bag.
This foundation claims to Be Long wearing and last for 8 hours, provide comfortable, all-day oil control and to be Sweat and humidity resistant.
Buying your shade:
The staff at Mac where very helpful when trying to match the perfect shade for my skin. They swatched the foundations that they thought would match me until they found the correct one. They matched my skin tone with the foundation in NC20.
Coverage:
The coverage of this foundation i find, is medium to full. Sometimes depending on the state of your skin, you may need a bit of concealor with it if you want a full coverage.
How it wears throughout the day:
This foundation, for me personally, stays fully matte for around 3 hours. This is a lot longer than any other matte foundation lasts me, as my skin gets extremely oily during the day, resulting in me having to blot my skin. The only place this foundation allows me to get oily, is around my nose. The rest of my face stays fully matte throughout the day. Mac studio fix fluid does have a very long wear.
Pros and Cons:
Pros: medium to full coverage, not heavy on the skin, blends easily, isnt patchy, hardly oxidises and the product lasts you a long time.
Cons: doesnt come with a pump, could be drying for people with dry skin and doesnt stay completely matte throughout the day.
Is it worth its cost? Mac Studio Fix Foundation Coverage Perfector
This foundation costs 22. I honestly think this is an incredible price, aspecially for a highend, good quality foundation, although i do agree that the bottle should come with a pump for the price being paid.
Overall opinon:
Overall, i really love this founation and use it every day. Its the perfect foundation that i have been lookin for. Matte but not heavy and cakey on the skin. The colour range for this foundation is huge, it has all the way from porcelain, to really dark skin.

Hello beauties check-out my MAC Studio Fix Fluid vs Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup Review! Mac Studio Fix Foundation Coverage Foundation
After using Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup in Ecru for the past six months, I have recently strayed and Im now using MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 . Both popular heavy duty foundations, I wanted to compare my experiences with both.
What They Say:
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup
15-hour staying power. Flawless all day. This worry-free, long-wearing makeup stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity, nonstop activity. Wont change colour, smudge or come off on clothes. Feels lightweight and comfortable. Now the flawless look you see in the morning is the look you keep all day.
MAC Studio Fix Fluid
A modern foundation that combines a natural matte finish and medium buildable coverage with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15. Comfortable and long-wearing: lasts for up to eight hours. Applies smoothly, builds coverage quickly and easily. Contains specially treated micronized pigments and soft-focus powders for a super-smooth look that helps minimize the appearance of imperfections. Absorbs and disperses oil. Contains special skin-conditioning ingredients. Oil free.
What I Say:
The first thing to note is that these two foundations are at different price points. Double Wear retails at $68 AUD for 30 ml, while Studio Fix Fluid retails at $48 AUD for 30 ml. This factor certainly influenced my decision to try Studio Fix Fluid to see if it might be a less expensive alternative to my beloved Double Wear . One thing to note is that MAC does charge an extra $8 AUD for a pump for the foundation, which you can obviously re-use on future bottles.
Both foundations are packaged in glass bottles with a wide mouth and screw-top lid (before you buy a pump from MAC). As you can see in the product pictures, Double Wear comes in a square, thick frosted glass bottle which is quite sturdy (Ive dropped it a couple of times without any problems), while Studio Fix Fluid comes in a cylindrical, more delicate glass bottle (which is apparently prone to breakage, although fingers crossed I havent dropped it yet to find out). Mac Studio Fix Foundation Coverage Concealer
Youll notice in this foundation swatch that Studio Fix Fluid seems to be a better colour match for me. That is definitely true, but the difference between the colours isnt as dramatic as it appears in the photo. However, I would say that Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 is the best colour match Ive been able to find for my skin tone. If I were to use Double Wear again, I would probably try Bone , their lightest warm colour. Both brands have a reasonably wide colour selection for people with lighter skin tones.
Both brands claim their foundations have medium to full coverage. I would argue that Double Wear is a full-coverage foundation, while Studio Fix Fluid is a medium coverage foundation. I can easily achieve that flawless, blank canvas look with Double Wear , while this wouldnt be possible with Studio Fix Fluid without layering it on and looking cakey. On application, both foundations have a matte finish, although Studio Fix Fluid probably looks more satiny and natural than Double Wear .
I always applied Double Wear with a damp cosmetic sponge, as I found this produced a more even finish than using a brush. However, I have learned to apply Studio Fix Fluid with a foundation brush, as a cosmetic sponge seems to suck up all the foundation, with very little going onto my face. Both foundations effectively cover my minor acne and any other blemishes.
Where the paths of these foundations diverge is how they wear over time. Double Wear just plain lasts longer on my skin, no matter what happens. I honestly think that Double Wear could survive a nuclear holocaust. For an oily-skinned girl like me, this is a gift from the heavens above. In comparison, maintaining a medium coverage with Studio Fix Fluid would require a couple of touch-ups during the day. I also sometimes notice that Studio Fix Fluid will transfer a little onto my phone if I take a call. However, I tend to feel that Double Wear s amazing longevity does come at a price. Over the longer term, Double Wear tends to make my skin a little flaky and dull. In comparison, Studio Fix Fluid s ingredients seem to nourish my skin and help keep it moisturised. Mac Studio Fix Foundation Ingredients
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.
