I got a new
foundation, well I got it about a month ago but I wanted to road test it for a
while before I wrote about it.
The foundation in
question is indeed Mac’s Studio fix fluid. The website says that it offers a
medium-buildable coverage and a natural matte finish, I’d definitely agree with
both. I love this foundation. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my bareminerals
powder foundation, but I really wanted a good liquid foundation, so I had they
option for either. I have a Bobbi Brown foundation stick, but I’m not a fan,
the formula is too thick and heavy, I don’t love it at all.
I chose studio fix
fluid over any of the other Mac foundations because it seemed to provide the
finish I look for in a foundation, matte but not rigid and false looking, just
easy-wearing.
The colour I was
matched to is NW45, and is pretty perfect, it’s ever so slightly darker than my
natural skin colour, but it’s more of a glowy kind of darker instead of an unnatural dark, so it kind of enhances my skin. Good times.
I don’t like full
coverage, I like my coverage pretty light from day to day, ranging to medium if
I’m going out or for occasions, so I know this foundation is going to last me a
while because I don’t even use a full pump to achieve the look I want. I pump
it on to the back of my hand, dot it around my face, and then buff it in with
my Real Techniques buffing brush. Simples.
It doesn’t melt
throughout the day either. I do use my Prime Time primer underneath it, to set
it, and make sure my skin feels even, but I’m guessing that the fact that the
foundation is oil-free, helps.
Overall, I’m really
pleased with this foundation and look forward to mixing it with my face cream, as a
tinted moisturiser as it gets warmer.
Have a lovely evening,

£19.50. Very reasonable and it looks great! I always thought mac was to 'heavy' but I will go for a makeover and see what they come up with.
