I would think that using the sponge applicator might have caused some reactions on the skin due to accumulated dirt and grime and oil on the sponge. When I used the MAC Foundation, my skin condition did not get better or worse – it remained the same.

I naturally have pores that are prone to clogging and I never have a face free of pimples (sad life). I didn’t get those from using this foundation. It seems that many people have problems with the MAC Studio Fix Foundation, what with clogged pores, huge cystic pimples, and creating havoc on the skin! Terrible! I would still bring along a liquid foundation though, because I fear that the unpredictable weather might make my skin too dry or too oily, and I want to have options. This is a great face powder to have in your travel makeup bag or to bring around every day in your purse for touch-up. I love using this to set the Lancôme Maqui Blanc Miracle Liquid Foundation (review). Our skin go through changes, and so must our face products! Therefore I use this in conjunction with liquid foundation now, and not on its own, like I used to. It tends to slide off within a few hours, maybe 4-5? Good thing that it is easy to reapply. Personally I find that the MAC Studio Fix Foundation does not stay on my skin as long as a liquid foundation does. I used to be able to use this without having obvious cracks under the eyes after a while, but I seem to be slowly losing that luxury! BOO! Not Long Lasting Enough I would think that people with mature skin should avoid this foundation as well as it tends to make fine lines more visible. So using this when you’re sick may make your skin look dull and flat. This brings out the worst of my skin during PMS when pimples celebrate in blooms on my face.ĭue to its matte finish, it does little to brighten the skin.
It is perfect for people with relatively good skin. This foundation, while does well to even out skin tone, does not glide over skin blemishes as well as do liquid foundation.
You can create a natural look or porcelain-doll kind of finish with the different types of application as stated above.īe careful, though, if you have bumps and pits on your skin, like I do – aplenty. The MAC Studio Fix Foundation gives a matte finish. I use the MAC Studio Fix Foundation or MAC Blot Powder, depending on my mood and need for coverage. If you have oily skin, it is recommended that you use a powder to set liquid foundation.
#NC25 MAC FOUNDATION FULL#
If your liquid foundation provides medium coverage, the MAC Foundation can bring it to full coverage. I prefer using the MAC Studio Fix Foundation this way. Use a large fluffy brush like the EcoTools Blush Brush to set liquid foundation. Use a stippling brush or a kabuki brush like the Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush. Do it in layers for increasing coverage instead of getting a thick first layer. If you prefer not to use sponges, like me, then load a kabuki brush with powder by swirling it in the pan. Make sure to wash the sponge frequently with the Daiso Brush Cleanser.
Use the sponge provided, dab it on (do not rub), and build it on for more coverage. You can build to your desired coverage with this foundation – full, medium, or sheer (like as a setting powder). When the need for more concealment arises, I use a cream concealer like the Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette after a face primer, then finish with the MAC Studio Fix Foundation. It does not hide hideous acne well on its own though. The MAC Studio Fix Foundation does quite a good job in drastically reducing all these imperfections. I have under eye circles, redness around the nose, uneven skin tone aplenty. When something’s that good, you just wanna use it forever, right? =DDD I liked it so much I went out to get a backup, way before the first one panned out. So I went back to compacts and one of my favorites was the MAC Studio Fix. I tried the Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation but my skin didn’t react well too it. Mid-way, I switched to mineral foundation having heard all the good stuff about it. They are easy to apply, great for travel, and most brands carry them. Before I started using liquid foundation, it was compact powders all the way.
