MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation


The product comes in a nice satiny black compact (similar to that of Studio Tech) with a decent sized mirror on top and a hidden compartment in the bottom that holds the applicator sponge. It’s sleek and looks nice in any makeup bag. The sponge could probably be a little higher quality- something thicker or more dense.

The powder, shown here is in shade N4, It's silky smooth and glides on so effortlessly and covers beautifully. For a powder, its one of the most pigmented foundations I’ve found.  It’s particularly helpful for those with discolourations (age spots, acne scars, redness, etc) and with oily skin, because it leaves a super matte (yet flawless) finish to the skin. It’s light as air, allowing your skin to breath. The shade range from MAC is also quite impressive, so there’s a shade for everyone.  I like how you can control the coverage, using a fluffy powder brush for a light hint of colour or using a sponge for a full-coverage finish.                                                               My skin tends to get oilier at winter so I always use this product around this time but if you have permanently dry skin beware- it’s not too friendly on dry spots and patches.  When using a powder foundation in your makeup routine, exfoliation and hydration is super important no matter what your skin type, and if you do see a bit of “dryness” then you can spritz a stippling brush with a hydrating spray like MAC Fix+ and pat it on over top.

Overall ,I would definitely buy this product again and I'd recommend it to girls with oily skin.
