The MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation is engineered for dependable performance throughout your day. Its long-wearing properties ensure your makeup stays fresh, making it ideal for busy schedules or special events. To achieve its signature matte finish and seamless coverage, start with a well-moisturized and primed face. Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand, then apply it to your face using a foundation brush, sponge, or clean fingertips. Begin at the center of your face and blend outwards, building coverage gradually in areas where more concealment is needed. For a natural look, use a minimal amount and blend thoroughly. For a full-coverage finish, layer thin applications. The broad spectrum SPF15 provides a basic layer of sun protection, making it suitable for everyday wear, though additional SPF is recommended for prolonged sun exposure.
For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean, toned, and moisturized before application. A primer can be used to extend wear and refine skin texture. This foundation is compatible with most primers, concealers, and setting powders. To apply, dispense a small amount onto a clean surface or your hand. Using a clean foundation brush, sponge, or fingertips, apply evenly across the face. For best hygiene and product integrity, store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always keep the cap tightly closed to prevent drying and contamination. Regularly clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) to maintain product purity and prevent skin issues.
