MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Fix, 100ml, 3.4 Fl Oz. In fact, I'm calling it: MAC Studio Fix is the most versatile foundation I own. MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NC35 for Women, 0.52 Ounce (Studio Fix NC35) 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,030. Honestly, since making that initial purchase, I have tried hundreds of different foundations, but this one is different. While that was my first taste of MAC foundations-my gateway drug, if you will-my real buzz came when I discovered MAC's Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation (£27). The aforementioned product was MAC's Studio Face and Body (£32), a brilliant beauty-insider foundation, but it's not the one that I'm here to talk to you about today.
Finding foundations to match pale skin with yellow undertones was hit-and-miss, to say the least. As for my darker-skinned friends and family? Finding a suitable foundation shade back then was basically impossible-unless you went to MAC. Up until that point, the affordable high-street foundations that I used would always leave my skin looking too orange or too pink. At the time, it was the most expensive makeup product that I'd ever bought, but it turned out to be a serious game changer for me in terms of shade and formulation.
Update for all MAC foundation fan-atics: Thanks to the new MAC Studio Fix Soft Matte Foundation Sticks, this fall we’ll have yet another reason to stick around the MAC counter. This one-step powder and foundation gives skin a smooth and even ultra-matte finish with medium-to-full buildable coverage â with a velvety texture that allows skin to breathe. As someone with dry skin, I dont tend to go for matte finish foundations, but with how everyone raves about this foundation, I couldnt say no.
I'd saved up my wages from my Saturday job to make the pilgrimage, and I have to say, I was immediately hooked. MAC’s latest way to get your (Studio) Fix. For those of you who have never heard of MACs iconic Studio Fix Fluid A modern foundation that combines a natural matte finish and medium to full buildable coverage with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15/PA++ protection. I have vivid memories of visiting its Carnaby Street store circa 2006 to get colour-matched for a foundation after reading about how all of the top makeup artists had it in their backstage kits. Ask any beauty editor or product obsessive where they bought their first proper foundation and, chances are, it will have been from MAC.
