I have wanted the MAC studio fix fluid foundation now for a long time, I tried a sample of it in NW13 a while ago and even though it was too light for me, I loved it (NW15 was a much better match). First I’ll just quickly explain my skin type as this might not be suitable for everyone, I have oily/combination skin and am prone to the odd breakout. So moving on, the shade I chose was NW15 which was a good match for me, for those that do not know, NW shades have a neutral pink undertone, while NC shades have a neutral yellow undertone.

It comes in a glass bottle with a screw top lid, unfortunately the pump does not come included which was disappointing, the foundation pump is £4 from MAC Cosmetics. I would recommend it as I found it so much easier and one pump is exactly the right amount I need to cover my whole face. It’s a medium coverage foundation, but is easily buildable if you want even more coverage. It goes on really smoothly and has a matte finish, however it is not as blendable as I have hoped it would be, you can’t really apply it in a rush as it takes a while to blend. I know some people have found it drying on the skin, I did not find it drying so maybe it is not suitable to people with dry skin.

Here’s what it looks like with the flash both on and off, the first photo of the swatch with the flash on is more of a true representation of the shade. Overall, I am totally in love with this foundation and would definitely recommend it if you have oily or combination skin and want a medium coverage. It’s a little pricey with the £21.50 price tag, but it’s going to last ages and a flawless base is the most important part of my makeup routine.

You can purchase this both in-store and online at MAC Cosmetics, Debenhams and Selfridges.
