Studio fix fluid is my everyday foundation. I wear it to work, I wear it out, I wear it to the store, I'm obsessed. Definitely HG for me. Coverage is excellent, one pump and my redness is covered and my skin looks beautiful. However, SFF takes a bit of getting used to. It can be heavy if not applied correctly, my favorite method is using a damp beauty blender. If applied correctly (at least for me) the result is matte skin, imperfections are covered without masking the skin and the skin is flawless. The price isn't too bad either at $27 compared to other higher end brands the shade range is excellent. It's a winner in my book :)

My skin is oily, and this doesn't help, but I love the fact that it has sunscreen and I barely break-out with this foundation. I used to deal with so much acne, and this foundation does not make it worse!

Ok, so I finally broke down & bought this foundation. I've been wanting to try more high end foundations for years, but due to the price, I've put it off. I found this foundation at the Saks outlet in one of my nearby malls, & they had a ton of makeup there for half the price it normally is, thus I finally bought it :)
However, since the selection was a bit more limited than it would have been had I gone to the actual MAC counter in a department store...I think I did end up getting the wrong shade. Then again my skin I believe is 'neutral', since I've worn both warm & cool shades & both seem fine. I truly have no idea :P
The shade that I picked up is NW25, a bit darker than my skin by just a shade, but it's not noticeable at all. I do also tend to tan so my skin ends up being a shade darker as it is. The coverage was perfect, a medium coverage in my mind. It was heavier than a tinted moisturizer but not heavy enough to leave me feeling cakey. It really just looks smooth, like skin, & that's the look I enjoy. I'm sure another coat would have made it much heavier but my skin doesn't need that much make up, thankfully.
It hasn't broken me out yet, so we'll see. The only reason why I took off a lippie is because...well, I was disappointed that there was no pump with this. Not like that's the end of the world, but there was a pump in the longwear version so it would be nice if they could just streamline all of the liquid foundations bottles into all having pumps. I don't see why one does & one does not :
Overall very satisfied with the foundation, which stood through the test of work & lasting, & I can now see why so many people flock to MAC for makeup :) I would definitely recommend & buy it again :) continued >>

Great heavy duty foundation that locks in moisture and is long lasting. I use a makeup brush instead of a sponge to blend this into my skin and it blends very well even if my actual skin tone is a tad bit lighter. This foundation is not streaky or blotchy and even with a little bit adds a great amount of coverage.

Got a sample to compare to doublewear and I hated it. My 'match' nc25 oxidised into this horrifying dark orange shade on my face and neck. It also smells rank, kinda like paint and bad food. Couldn't wait to get home and just scrub it off. Made me break out instantly too.

All MAC foundations break me out and this one was no exception. I bought it the same day I went into the store for the Marylin Monroe collection and although I knew better then to use their foundation again after my experience with Studio Tech I bought this one against my better judgment. I broke out within days and ditched it for Inglot AMC and I prefer that one as my staple foundation.

Im not sure about this foundation, ive recently just switched from the Estee Lauder Double Wear as they've changed their formula so i went on to try this one.

It had such mixed reviews i was in two minds whether to get it or not, but i thought why not! i do like it, its very very easy to apply and blend (i use a foundation brush) and when ive finished my make up it looks flawless and lovely, but when i look in the mirror about 4 hours later, half of its come off and i just look blotchy and have to re-do, which is abit of a pain.

i would say if you wore the foundation, you do have to set it with a powder, but even doing this doesnt make the staying power very long lasting. i might just have to invest in a primer and see how that goes!

This is my all time favorite foundation. Looks amazing on camera and does not look cakey (if you over due it you can look cakey). My only problem is that it makes me break out if I use it everyday. For now I only use it when I go out or for events. :( I have changed my primer and moisturizer and face wash but nothing seems to stop my skin from breaking out. The color selection is amazing and I haven't found another foundation that mixes my skin tone the same (I'm nc 40-45 sometimes 35)

I love this stuff! Full, buildable coverage, cheap, and I love love love my shade (nc 35)! I can't believe this foundation gets such low reviews?! I use a good primer like Too Faced Primed and Poreless, wet a beauty blender sponge, stipple the foundation on and set it with Loreal true match pressed powder. It literally gives me the perfect airbrushed Barbie complexion. And it's cheaper than my HG Estée Lauder Doublewear!

This foundation is certainly a great addition to your collection and I wear it occasionally. I love my estee lauder double wear and like medium coverage but lasting power all day is a must !
This foundation is comparible to revlon
colourstay and im unsure which I prefer yet. Both have the downside of no pump but mac sell a pump for £3.50 which is worth every penny.
The colour selection is brilliant for this foundation but remember guys NC is for skin with yellow undertones and NW is for skin with pink undertones. This is VERY important to get the right colour.
The foundation gives medium buildable coverage with a natural matte finish.
I would recommend getting a sample first and get colour matched at a counter. If you have to go online remember mac colours run a bit dark. Colour test near the back of your cheek to your jaw to get an idea of the colour, never use your hands neck or chest.
