Dream of having skin like “barbie-doll” where all the imperfections are covered up is
the most gals’ dream. MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation was invented to make your
dream come true.
Product Description
“A
modern foundation that combines a natural matte finish and medium, buildable
coverage with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 protection. Applies, builds and
blends easily and evenly. Comfortable and long-wearing, helps minimize the
appearance of pores and imperfections, giving skin a smoother, more flawless
look and finish.”
Ingredients
See on the picture below.
Packaging
The most complaints coming
from clients are addressed to its packaging. The glass bottle with a black
matte screw cap without a pump is “pain in the ass”. Such an inconvenience to
take product out from the bottle. I often end up pouring too much product than
needed and get a bit messy. The bottle is quite heavy, not travel friendly and
also not helpful if you are in a hurry and want to deliver its content quickly.
If you think you need the pump, you can buy it separately.
Texture and Scent
It is creamy and thick in
consistency. It dries pretty quick and tends to look heavy if you apply it in a
wrong way. The application method has an important role in determining the way
of this product looks on the skin. Another thing that can cut the credits of
this product is the smell. It has a strong chemical scent which personally
i do not like it. I am not allergic to its fragrance but “the unpleasant smell” really
bothers me.
Finish and Coverage
This product gives medium
to full coverage with matte finish. You can wear it without concealer to
conceal minor blemishes. It is able to provide the coverage that I need which
is covering up the spider veins on my cheeks area. The SPF 15 content is
a bonus as I can skip applying sunscreen before make up. This product may not
look good on some people, it oxidizes on the skin and it goes either too yellow
or too cool.
Longevity
My face stays flawless for
few hours wearing this foundation with or without primer. It keeps skin shine
free and does not have to be retouched frequently. After a few hours it will be slightly
faded but the coverage still good.
Application
This MAC foundation can be
applied using different techniques for desire result. For full coverage, use
flat foundation brush. For natural look, you can go with stippling
brush. If you do not like the “powdery” look it gives, you can mix your
foundation with MAC Strobe Cream or If you do not have time to mix it, just spray
setting spray after you set your foundation with powder. I use to spray "Make Up
For Ever Mist and Fix".
