The MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NW5 is formulated for dependable performance, particularly for those needing a base that withstands daily activities. The broad-spectrum SPF15 provides a foundational layer of sun protection, making it suitable for everyday wear when incidental sun exposure is expected. However, for prolonged outdoor activities, additional higher SPF sunscreen is recommended. Its comfortable, long-wearing formula means you can expect it to maintain its finish for many hours, ideal for long workdays or events. Users typically find it applies smoothly and blends well, providing a consistent canvas. To achieve the best results, ensure your skin is prepped and moisturized before application. The specific NW5 shade is tailored to provide a natural look for its target skin tone and undertone.
Prepare Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. A primer can be used for extended wear or to address specific skin concerns.
Dispense Product: Shake the bottle well. Apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand.
Apply to Face: Use a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingertips to apply the foundation. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards.
Build Coverage: For more coverage, apply a second thin layer to areas that need it, blending carefully.
Set (Optional): If desired, set with a translucent powder for an even longer-lasting matte finish.
This fluid foundation is generally compatible with most standard primers, concealers, and setting powders. For best results, consider using products from the same brand or those designed to complement long-wearing formulas. Always perform a patch test when introducing new products into your routine.
Storage: Store the foundation at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold, to maintain its integrity.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out or becoming contaminated.
Clean Applicators: Regularly clean any brushes or sponges used for application to ensure hygienic use and optimal product performance.
