In Detail MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review, Swatches and My Experience
(Shade: NC 30)
The MAC Studio fix fluid foundation was one of the brand foundations (many shades) in my professional kit when as a newbie Artist I was looking for a good base for the clients and after lots of good reviews and some recommendations I decided to buy this product.
Moving on to its packaging, the Foundation comes in a heavy glass jar bottle with a black screw cap on it without pump which makes it NOT so travel friendly. This foundation comes in a wide range of shades range- NW (Neutral Warm) which is meant for cool, pink undertones and NC (Neutral cool) which is for warm, yellow undertones. So don't get confused.
The texture of this foundation is creamy (not runny) and quiet thick in consistency but blends easily. It can be applied using a beauty blender or buffing brush. I prefer using Real Techniques Buffing Brush. The coverage it provides is medium to high which sets the face to a natural matte finish.
Now let's talk about the formula. It's a silicon based product and has the tendency to break-out the sensitive skin types. People having normal to oily skin can give it a try but if you have dry and sensitive acne-prone skin like me then STAY AWAY from this product and I found it even oxidises a little on my skin also. The good thing is that the product has a good staying power. It lasts up to 6-7 hours easily even without a primer.
God! You know what! MAC is NOT a cruelty- free brand. They test their products on innocent animals. So I'll definitely try to use cruelty free brand next time.

MAC Cosmetics is gearing up to launch a new foundation this fall. The newcomer to the Studio Fix Fluid foundation range, named Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Skin Balancing Complex, appears to be an update of the fan favorite Studio Fix Fluid formula. Same as its predecessor, the Studio Fix Skin Balancing Complex is a cutting-edge formula based on natural ingredients, designed to give your skin a matte finish, smooth texture, and medium to full coverage. It lasts for up to 24 hours and protects the skin from sun-induced damage with broad spectrum SPF 15 protection.
In its latest iteration, the cult favorite Studio Fix Fluid Foundation provides even more benefits than its predecessor does. Not only it evens out the skin tone and provides a generous level of sun protection, but also moisturizes the skin both instantly and in a long run, thus keeping the makeup fresh and the skin comfortably balanced. MAC's proprietary balancing complex ensures a perfect equilibrium between matte finish and moisture levels of the skin, so it always feels fresh and comfortable, while shine remains under control.
MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Skin Balancing Complex foundation is already available in Japan. Rumor has it that it will be available at MAC's worldwide locations from September 2017.

Because of its thick consistency, the foundation is best applied using MAC 170 Synthetic Rounded Slant Brush, that applies buffs out and blends creams and liquids. $35.00
For those looking for a more radiant finish, MAC recommends using the foundation in conjunction with the Prep + Prime Natural Radiance makeup primer. This product, formulated specifically for oily and combination skin, hydrates and primes as it helps control shine. The formula sinks immediately upon application, leaving a beautiful, non-greasy glow. $42.00

- Radiant Yellow – for deeper skin tones
- Radiant Pink – for fairer skin tones
Finally, to help seal your look and make it last longer, MAC offers the Prep + Prime Fix +, a lightweight water mist that soothes and refreshes the skin while delivering a soft sheen to refresh and finish makeup. $25.00
