Summer is here and anybody with combination skin can understand the woes of it ! In terms of makeup nowadays am only depending on powder compacts . I had read so much about MAC that i badly wanted to try something from them..
I zeroed down on their Studio fix powder plus foundation, which seemed to be a decent buy for beginners like me !
MAC says- A one-step application of foundation and powder. Gives skin a smooth, flawless, all-matte, full-coverage finish. Long-wearing: lasts for up to eight hours. A real all-in-one. The choice of pros, and longtime favorites of M∙A∙C fans.
Price- 1700 INR
My Rating- 4/5
Final Verdict- If you are looking for light to medium coverage powder foundation which controls shine for 4-5 hours this is a nice product. the application looks better if you blend it with a kabuki brush instead of the sponge provided.

What I Liked about MAC Studio fix powder plus foundation-
- Provides light to medium coverage and is buildable.
- Light weight
- Did not break me out or clog pores
- Its good for summers since it controls oil for upto good 4-5 hours and is mattifying
- Blends Well.
- Comes in a travel friendly packaging with a separate compartment for the sponge
- Its photo friendly.No cast or whatsover in pictures
What I didn't Like about MAC studio fix powder plus foundation-
- You can't blame it for the price because its MAC .(but its a bit of luxury product for me)
- It doesn't provide full coverage
- May not be appropiate for dry skin beauties specially in winters because its mattifying and you may need a moisturizer underneath.
- If you want really longlasting oil control as in 8-9 hours this is not the one to look for.
Final Verdict- If you are looking for light to medium coverage powder foundation which controls shine for 4-5 hours this is a nice product. the application looks better if you blend it with a kabuki brush instead of the sponge provided.
MAC :) :)
ReplyDeleteshud try it out soooon
DO U THINK THIS CAN DOUBLE UP AS A SETTING POWDER FOR FOUNDATIONS WITH SHEER COVERAGE?? NICE REVIEW:), ITS TO THE POINT!
ReplyDeleteShazia, i think it would be a good option too !
DeleteShazia- for sheer foundations if you want to keep th eoverall look light & sheer then go for MAc Select sheer pressed fowder, studio fix has a matte texture and not the best to teem with sheer foundation
Deleteagreed with IBC , this one would help you to set the foundation obviously, but if you particularly want sheer, then this won't work well cause of the matte effect !
Deletei have been thinking of buying this..thank god i did not and read your review first!!!...
ReplyDeletei have dry skin and this would have been make up disaster for me!!

Sushmita you may try using a moisturiser underneath
DeleteI think it's perfect for everyday use in this weather! Nice review <3
ReplyDeletenice product...
ReplyDeleteI think I will go for other products, cant get myself spend so much for this product!
ReplyDeletenice review. dear...MAC is always expensive..
ReplyDeleteI always make a resolve of trying this at the store but one look at the lippies and eyeshadows and I am doomed..great buy dear and it luks perfect for your skin tone
ReplyDeleteI wanted to buy this but settled for MAC select sheer instead, this one offers more coverage than I wanted. But one compact will last you 8-10 months with everyday use so its totally worth it!
