I really like this foundation. I used to use regular drugstore ones and they were very average but I was never happy enough with the quality of the product. When I switched to MAC Cosmetics and got my skin colour matched by a MAC makeup artist, I fell in love with MAC! I highly recommend this brand.
This has been my go-to foundation for the last 7 years. It provides me with smooth, matte, medium-buildable coverage through my busy day! I love how its easily bendable, with a somewhat creamy finish. Works best is you set with a translucent loose powder! SPF makes it great to help out with the sun a little also!!! Great in the water!
I'm not a fan of this foundation. I love high coverage foundation, but this has a tendency to appear cakey even though it's described as "buildable". It literally smells like paint and it transfers like crazy.
This foundation made me break out with cystic acne.. so I quickly returned it and exchanged for concealer and powder. They were great about the return, and this foundation did have great coverage.. but breakouts aren't cool!
I have been through many foundations and I must say, this one is a hit! I greatly recommend it, it lasts a very long time around 6 months and the coverage is great! I have oily skin and this is great it does not cause oily skin or acne and blends to match my colour perfectly! It can be layered on for a more full coverage foundation or you can use one coat for a more natural look. Last but not least, it contains SPF 15 which is amazing!
I love most MAC products but I'm disappointed in MAC for this. First off, it has a strong chemically smell that isn't pleasant. Secondly, it dries to a chalky matte finish that has no staying power; I find it's blotchy or gone after an hour or so of wear and I don't even have oily skin. And to top it off, I get breakouts any time I've used it. Definitely not the product I expected for this premium price.
I was never a fan of MAC Foundations before as I found them to be too rich for my skin and caused major breakouts. They seem to have made some major changes to their formula as I can't even believe how amazing this foundation feels on my skin. The coverage is very good and I do not notice it causing any reaction on my skin. I use a shade slightly lighter than my skin tone as it is quite rich and it avoids the dreaded orange jaw line.
I bought this full coverage studio fix foundation by mac because my full coverage foundation from smashbox had gotten lost. I feel like it gets a little chalky and you really have to set it well. By the end of an 8 hr shift, my makeup looks like its splotchy and worn off. Although I never touch my face. Its good for short periods of time but Im not sure if I would recommend it if your a person who likes to have makeup they can rely on for full coverage all day!
Gives excellent coverage and able to build up for problem areas.
Have used this for years, and it has never caused any break outs or dry skin.
