amazing coverage December 27, 2009

This is so much more than a powder. You have no need for a foundation with studio fix powder. I just use face lotion and this powder. It has great coverage to even out red complextion and will easily cover small breakouts. For more troublesome skin, I just use a little concealer, and then finish with studio fix powder. The coverage is always smooth and looks perfect.

Ok, so i love MAC products and i have a few that my mom bought me for school. I was so excited to get the stuff on but when i put it on it came out cakey, no matter how little i put on. It's just gross.
I also have the liquid kind thats a very good product but it broke me out soo bad, i'm 14 so this was a BIG deal.
 Good foundation but a little heavy, may be better for oily skin February 27, 2008

Overall this is a good foundation but probably just not for me. The coverage this gives it medium to heavy depending on how much you put on. You can apply it with a damp sponge for a super heavy coverage but I'd use a brush if your not doing this. I conceal everything that needs to to be hidden and use a lighter foundation all over which is one of the reasons this didn't really work out for me. You could tell I had something on with this, it was a little heavy to look completely natural. The next reason I didnt like it so much is because my face looked a little chalky and lost the nice glow. My skin isnt dry or oily but a normal texture (thanks to lamer!). The reason I still gave this 4 stars is because for someone who needs more coverage with oily skin I think this would be great. Later on I found mac studiotech and it's the most wonderful foundation I've ever tried. I've gone though just about every single foundation at sephora and this is what works for me best. After concealing what I need to hide it evens everything out so well and looks completly natural and keeps the nice glow LaMer gives me without looking oily or chalky. I know this is supposed to be a review abotu studiofix but I thought the comparison would help someone! These both come in a bazzilion shades which is great for very pale (me!) or very dark skintones who have trouble finding the right color. Their color names are confusing tho - I am N3 is studio fix and NW15 in studiotech. In addition what they call cool (NC or C) is actually warm and nice versa. Definitely go to a mac counter to get it matched to your skin!
BEST foundation ever out there!!!! January 22, 2008

I was never one of those people blessed with good skin. I had real bad acne as a teenager and I experimented with all kinds of cleanser and makeup which is probably why my skin is so problematic. I finally overcame acne and was left with permanent scars, blemishes, and discoloration. I've tried all kinds of foundation from cheap drugstore to expensive department stores. I could never find one that was perfect until I came across this MAC Studio Fix. I was skeptical when I first used it b/c it looked and felt like a powder. I thought there's no way this is going to give me coverage and hide my imperfections. Boy, was I wrong! As soon as I applied it to my face I was immediately sold! It made my face look flawless, smooth, and glowing! It evened out my skin tone and my blemishes/pores were not visible. You may want to purchase the MAC brush instead of using the sponge that comes with it. Believe me, it made a whole world of difference in the way the foundation looked. I thought I could be cheap and use a regular face brush from Wal-Mart, but it didn't apply on well. Once I went back to MAC and bought the brush 168, I saw a big difference! Trust me, if you have oily skin and blemishes it's worth a try. It gives medium to full coverage. It will not look cakey if you have the right brush. I'm so happy that I finally tried this foundation. I'm totally hooked!
Best Foundation for Oily Skin December 8, 2007

I have tried nearly every foundation ever made, from cheap to expensive, and this is the best one for my skin. I am 32 years old, and I have oily, sensitive skin with redness/broken capillaries from rosacea, with occasional breakouts. This is so easy and quick to apply. I recommend using the sponge that comes with it (it's hidden underneath the foundation) to pat on your skin. I use bare minerals bisque beforehand to cover up my large pores and broken capillaries, and then just pat on the m.a.c. I stopped using bare minerals foundation because the brushes irritated my skin, the color didn't match, and it didn't cover well. This absorbs oil, has great buildable coverage,doesn't settle into fine lines, and leaves a beautiful matte finish (not a dead-matte, but a soft, natural-looking matte). It comes in so many colors, you're bound to find the perfect match for your skin. I have very fair skin, and N3 is perfect for me because it also neutralizes the redness in my face. It lets your skin breathe, and never clogs your pores. This is perfect for someone with oily skin and/or rosacea. It's quite affordable, and lasts a long time. I LOVE IT!
