#mac foundation

Hi guys,

Today we are going to be chatting about the Mac Studio Fix collection. Over the last two months you may have seen me mention a few M.A.C products here and there so I decided it was time to chat about the Studio Fix collection. If you’re not familiar the Studio Fix collection is majority face base products and one of M.A.C’s most famous face base collection. From the collection I have concealer, foundation, powder and setting spray which I have been using for a while now. I’m sure there’s more products in the range but I’ve just picked bits I would genuinely use to build my base.

So the first product I picked up to try out was the MAC Studio Finish SP35 Concealer in shade NW10 , £17.50. This concealer is described as “ lightweight, creamy, smooth, long-wearing and water-resistant. It’s recommended to cover up dark circles and blemishes in this skin and contains Silica to help absorb oils and leave your skin covered for longer. It also has a spf of 35 which I think it a unique feature because you don’t hear a lot about spf included concealers. It feels really lightweight on the skin and yet offers a really good buildable coverage, the only thing that put me off trying this concealer before was the product is in a small pot so you basically have to use your fingers to apply the product which felt a little messy to me. But when I got the concealer I found the perfect sized make up brush to fit in pot to apply the product. Overall I like the concealer it doesn’t crease, gives really good coverage and genuinely lasts a long time in your face.

Next up we have the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 ,£27 in shade NW10. This foundation is a natural matte finish with buildable coverage including spf15. The formula is longwearing and gives you a subtle matte finish. This foundation is great for all skin types but especially if you’re oily because the product absorbs oil as it’s applied giving you the perfect matte base. This foundation is buildable to give you a medium to full coverage finish and I must say this foundation is the easiest formula I’ve ever used to build coverage, some foundations leave you looking cakey when you try and build it but this one looks amazing. After I tried this foundation for the first time I was so annoyed with myself that it took me this long to try it. This product is easily one of MACs most iconic products and the shade match is probably my most accurate match ever and considering how pale I am that truly is a miracle.

The third product we have and argueably my most used is the MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation , £27 in the shade NW10. This product is a powder and foundation in one that “combines good coverage with ease of application”. This powder creates a matte finish in your face absorbing oils and leaving your face with a smooth finish. This powder can be used as a foundation when you want a lightweight foundation that still offers you great coverage or you can use it to set your liquid foundation and concealer to get even more coverage. This powder has been designed to feel so lightweight on the skin so your skin can still breathe and not be caked with product if you use it to build up your look. I use this product the most out of all the products in this post, I use it to set my foundation or touch up my makeup at work and I sometimes just use the powder itself to give my skin a little coverage on a day when I don’t want to wear a lot of products on my skin. Definitely one of my favs from this collection for sure.

Lastly we have MAC Fix+ Mattifying Setting Spray, £21.00. This setting spray in a new version of the famous spray when it leaves you with a matte finish. This pray not only controls shine and oil on your face but it also refreshes the skin. The setting spray formula contains powders, silica and other oil-absorbing agents to help set makeup, rebalance and mattify skin. This setting spray is by far the most reliable I’ve ever used it genuinely keeps me skin a lot matter for longer and since I’m combo skin that is a miracle in itself. I’ve used this spray before going work, concerts, hot summer days and it genuinely works amazingly. Before the mattify version came out I used the original version but I much prefer this version and works so much better for my skin.

And there we have it the Studio Fix collection review, hope you enjoyed this post and sorry it was a long one.

Lots of love

I’m embarrassingly late to this party .....

Hi guys,

Considering how much I love makeup it’s a little embarrassing that it’s taken me this long to try this product. Everyone in the world has probably heard of used the M.A.C studio fix foundation which is part their most iconic collection to this date. I finally decided that after god knows how long to check out and the collection and get colour matched. I always though M.A.C product were too yellow toned for me but after getting colour matched I finally found my perfect shade which is NW10 which is basically natural fair shade. This colour match is probably the most accurate match I’ve ever had in my life which is surprising since I didn’t think anything would be pale enough for me. The foundation Studio Fix is full coverage matte finish costing £27.00 so if you were wondering it is a highend brand.

I have heard so many good things about this foundation I decided I finally had to give it a go and honestly I wish I had done it sooner. This foundation is great for combo skin, it’s the perfect matte finish that feels so lightweight on your skin and gives you amazing coverage. Also considering it’s a liquid formula product it doesn’t leave you feeling oily after a while which yes it’s a matte foundation but even on my skin after a while oils can get through when I wear other matte products.

The only thing I don’t like about this foundation isn’t actually product related but more packaging ..... it doesn’t have a pump. It literally is a bottle with a lid and that’s not something I like at all, luckily you can buy a foundation pump to fit this foundation like I did for £5. It’s a bit annoying that to use this foundation without wasting product you need to buy a pump but when you repurchase the foundation you can clean the pump and use it on the next bottle so it’s not the end of the world.

So overall taking out the packaging design (no pump), I would say formula wise I’m obsessed with this foundation it feels so amazing and long lasting on the skin and I’m a bit fan of how flawless my skin looks. I really wish I knew there was a wide colour range in this collection because I would of tried this foundation so much earlier. But anyway your girls here now and and I have a excuse to buy more Studio Fix collection products to test out and write about so expect some more M.A.C related posts in the near future.

Lots of love
