MAC Studio Fix has been
my HG foundation for the last 5years.
I’ve finished bottles and bottles of this
baby. As we all know, MAC has one of the best color selection for foundations.
I’m NC37 btw and because all foundations oxidize on me, it initially applies
lighter on my skin and perfectly blends after a while.
This foundation finishes
demi-matte on my skin. It has medium coverage which is buildable and I have
tried spot concealing with this baby. But, I have to say after a while, the
foundation melts and blends on your skin, the camouflaged spots will show up. I
was suggested initially to do this method by the SA but it did not work on my
oily skin. So if you need extra coverage, I suggest using a concealer.

Finish is very good and
can last for hours and hours even after a few times of blotting. It may even
look naturally dewy as the day passes and it’s beautiful. It has never looked
cakey and looks more like a second skin but of course should be applied well.
As for application, I
use a round top or flat top kabuki brush for more coverage and a beauty blender
on days that my skin is more forgiving and I have less to conceal. What can be
helpful too is after going through a kabuki brush, you finish the application
with light taps of a beauty blender.
I know you probably heard this advice many times but make sure to color match the foundation on your face near the jaw and see how it matches to your neck and your body. While it may be good to swatch on your hand, remember that the skin on your hand and face are totally different. The foundation blends differently since you have more oils on your skin. As you can see on my swatches, the foundation when blended appears to be matte but it applies demi-matte or glowy the rest of the day on my face.
This is a very good foundation
for everyday use since it gives a very natural finish especially when you color
match well, and though it has SPF15, it photographs very well with just a natural glow on your face and not an obvious white cast.
This is that foundation
that I will continuously purchase and will always have on my vanity table. It is still is my go to and my HG foundation.
