Hi guys,

Today we are going to be chatting about the Mac Studio Fix collection. Over the last two months you may have seen me mention a few M.A.C products here and there so I decided it was time to chat about the Studio Fix collection. If you’re not familiar the Studio Fix collection is majority face base products and one of M.A.C’s most famous face base collection. From the collection I have concealer, foundation, powder and setting spray which I have been using for a while now. I’m sure there’s more products in the range but I’ve just picked bits I would genuinely use to build my base.

So the first product I picked up to try out was the MAC Studio Finish SP35 Concealer in shade NW10 , £17.50. This concealer is described as “ lightweight, creamy, smooth, long-wearing and water-resistant. It’s recommended to cover up dark circles and blemishes in this skin and contains Silica to help absorb oils and leave your skin covered for longer. It also has a spf of 35 which I think it a unique feature because you don’t hear a lot about spf included concealers. It feels really lightweight on the skin and yet offers a really good buildable coverage, the only thing that put me off trying this concealer before was the product is in a small pot so you basically have to use your fingers to apply the product which felt a little messy to me. But when I got the concealer I found the perfect sized make up brush to fit in pot to apply the product. Overall I like the concealer it doesn’t crease, gives really good coverage and genuinely lasts a long time in your face.

Next up we have the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 ,£27 in shade NW10. This foundation is a natural matte finish with buildable coverage including spf15. The formula is longwearing and gives you a subtle matte finish. This foundation is great for all skin types but especially if you’re oily because the product absorbs oil as it’s applied giving you the perfect matte base. This foundation is buildable to give you a medium to full coverage finish and I must say this foundation is the easiest formula I’ve ever used to build coverage, some foundations leave you looking cakey when you try and build it but this one looks amazing. After I tried this foundation for the first time I was so annoyed with myself that it took me this long to try it. This product is easily one of MACs most iconic products and the shade match is probably my most accurate match ever and considering how pale I am that truly is a miracle.

The third product we have and argueably my most used is the MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation , £27 in the shade NW10. This product is a powder and foundation in one that “combines good coverage with ease of application”. This powder creates a matte finish in your face absorbing oils and leaving your face with a smooth finish. This powder can be used as a foundation when you want a lightweight foundation that still offers you great coverage or you can use it to set your liquid foundation and concealer to get even more coverage. This powder has been designed to feel so lightweight on the skin so your skin can still breathe and not be caked with product if you use it to build up your look. I use this product the most out of all the products in this post, I use it to set my foundation or touch up my makeup at work and I sometimes just use the powder itself to give my skin a little coverage on a day when I don’t want to wear a lot of products on my skin. Definitely one of my favs from this collection for sure.

Lastly we have MAC Fix+ Mattifying Setting Spray, £21.00. This setting spray in a new version of the famous spray when it leaves you with a matte finish. This pray not only controls shine and oil on your face but it also refreshes the skin. The setting spray formula contains powders, silica and other oil-absorbing agents to help set makeup, rebalance and mattify skin. This setting spray is by far the most reliable I’ve ever used it genuinely keeps me skin a lot matter for longer and since I’m combo skin that is a miracle in itself. I’ve used this spray before going work, concerts, hot summer days and it genuinely works amazingly. Before the mattify version came out I used the original version but I much prefer this version and works so much better for my skin.

And there we have it the Studio Fix collection review, hope you enjoyed this post and sorry it was a long one.

Lots of love

And the M.A.C obsession continues .....

Hi everyone,

From a previous M.A.C post I did someone commented saying I really needed to try out the studio fix powder foundation which works as a setting powder and a foundation by itself. After checking out a few reviews I decided to pick up the powder in the matching shade to my concealer and foundation.

For years I’ve seen people using M.A.C products in old YouTube makeup tutorials so to finally have one recommended to me I decided it had to be done so I decided to go for the powder plus foundation version. Now while M.A.C is technically a highend brand I would say it’s definitely one of the cheaper highend brands on the market where yes it’s more expensive then drugstore but you can still get a lot for your money. This powder is the perfect one to get if like me it’s your first M.A.C powder purchase reason being you can use this powder by itself as a foundation leaving your skin with a gorgeous matte finish. You can also use this powder to set your facebase on top of foundation to mattify your face.

This power is so lightweight and I’ve worn it both ways to see how it feels on the skin and honestly it leaves my skin looking so flawless especially when i use it to set my base. I’ve been throwing this on top of my studio fix foundation ans concealer and honestly the trio are a match made in heaven. A lot of powders can leave your skin looking cakes or like you’re wearing a lot of makeup at once but really this powder just blends so effortlessly.

So far I’ve tested a few M.A.C products and to no ones surprise the products are amazing they feel so lightweight on your face and yet have amazing coverage. It’s easy to see why the brand has won so many awards. If you’re looking for a duo powder this powder couldn’t be more perfect if you tried.

Lots of love
