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.

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.

I used to use MAC Mineralize Foundation but i've noticed they have never made a shade light enough for my pale skin! Maybe if they come out with some very light shades i will go back to using their foundations but for now i love my NARS Matte. MAC does give a flawless look though which a lot of other foundations aren't that great at doing.

I've really been wanting to try a MAC foundation! I've only heard wonderful things about it. I have the same skin type as you, so it may be a good idea to pick up a sample next time I'm in the store! Great review!

I bought this foundation a few weeks ago, I am so in love with it also x
I've tried this foundation it's great – but opted with the YSL one instead as it was a better colour match! I think price tags are justifiable if its a foundation that's good to your skin and that you can wear for ages!
